Website/Application LinkSTIAS provides and maintains an independent ‘creative space for the mind’ to advance scientific inquiry and engaged scholarship across all disciplines. The Institute is global in its reach and local in its African roots, and values original thinking and innovation in this context. The Fellowship programme comprises projects which are entirely self-generated and proposed by applicants, as well as projects or programmes initiated and led by STIAS typically with select partner organisations. A prospective STIAS Fellow may apply either individually, or as part of a team, or as an Iso Lomso early career scholar, or as an artist-in-residence. The STIAS terms run from mid-January to mid-June (first semester), and from mid-July to mid-December (second semester). The Fellowship programme is guided by the Institute’s commitment to being a creative space for the mind, an inter/cross generation space as well as a cross-disciplinary space that encourages cross-pollination of ideas and hence gives preference to projects that will tap into, and benefit from, a multi-disciplinary discourse while also contributing unique perspectives to individual, collective and engaged discourses, an opportunity for a Fellow beyond self. STIAS Fellows are, except in prior agreed-to circumstances, expected to be resident at STIAS for the duration of a Fellowship in pursuit of their proposed research project. Read more

Workshop: The Organization of African Unity and the Struggle against Colonialism and Racism in Africa Lisbon, 13 and 14 November 2025 In-person and online Venue: NOVA University of Lisbon, Portugal    Call for papers The study of international organizations is an emerging field that covers a topic of growing importance in academia. In recent decades, the contributions of such organizations as actors in international relations have received increasing attention (Iriye 2004). Theoretical and empirical analyses seek to provide insights into the work of intergovernmental organizations, nongovernmental organizations, or transnational networks. By expanding their geographical scope beyond national borders, scholars interested in international organizations have reflected the myriad ways in which they can be studied (Hurd 2012).                                                                                     The Organization of African Unity (OAU), as a regional organization, has been the subject of ongoing research (Gassama 2015). However, a review of existing publications reveals that relatively few studies have addressed the OAU's solidarity against colonialism and racism in Africa. Several reasons may explain this situation. Comparatively, the OAU has received less attention than other international organizations, notably the United Nations. Research has mainly focused on its establishment and achievements in conflict resolution, cooperation and development (Muchie et al. 2014; Naldi 1999). Difficulties in accessing primary sources may also have contributed to the diversion of interest from the OAU's contribution to decolonization and the end of white minority regimes. Writing on the subject has mostly been done at the time of the events and lacks historical perspective (Binaisa 1977; El-Khawas 1978). The accounts are limited in scope, discussing primarily the OAU's support for the liberation movements of Zimbabwe, Namibia and South Africa (Klotz 1995; Thomas 1996). With regard to the Portuguese colonies, with the exception of the work of Walraven (1999), it is difficult to find an overarching narrative, and the available information is mostly found in publications that do not focus on the topic as a primary concern (Sousa 2011; Tíscar Santiago 2013). Thus, a more critical approach is needed to question what the OAU did to support the struggle against colonialism and racism in Africa, as well as the complexities and nuances involved. With this situation in mind, we intend to explore the OAU's solidarity with the struggle against colonialism and racism in Africa in a workshop in-person and online that will take place in Lisbon, at the Institute of Contemporary History of the NOVA University of Lisbon, on 13 and 14 November 2025. The workshop aims to place the OAU initiatives in their context and help consolidate analyses of its solidarity as a critical subject of the end of colonialism and white minority regimes. In addition, the workshop will contribute to rethinking the gaps in historiography by examining the OAU solidarity as a transnational phenomenon that transcended national boundaries. We welcome proposals for 20-minute presentations on these and other topics: -The extent to which the OAU played a role in ending colonialism and racism on the African continent;  -How the Liberation Committee was instrumental in the strategy of the OAU to undermine colonial rule and racist minority rule; -How the attitudes of a number of states, due to inter-African competition, shaped the OAU's policies on colonialism and racism; -How the diplomacy of the OAU sought to shape the debate at the UN on colonialism and racism;  -How the OAU engaged with non-African countries as part of its support to the struggle for independence and against apartheid; -How the organization worked as an intermediary in the support given by third parties to anti-colonial and anti-racist organizations;   -The importance of the relationship with the OAU for anti-colonial and anti-racist organizations to advance their agenda;  -The tensions and disagreements between the OAU and the anti-colonial and anti-racist organizations;  -The extent to which the anti-colonial and anti-racist organizations sought to use the OAU not only against the colonial and racist powers, but also to sideline competing groups.   Abstracts for presentations (200 words) and a biographical note (250 words) should be sent to: OAUconference@gmail.com Deadline for submissions: 8 August 2025 Notification of acceptance: 15 August 2025 The organization foresees the publication of the communications. The first draft of the papers is due on 30 January 2026.  Read more
