Date: 6th September - 1st October, 2010
Venue: Dakar, Senegal
The Council for the Development of Social Science Research in Africa (CODESRIA) is announcing its 2010 Child and Youth Studies Institute and invites interested scholars to send applications for consideration for selection as laureates and resource persons in the session scheduled for September 2010. The Institute is an offshoot of the Child and Youth Studies programme and is designed to strengthen analytic capacity on all questions affecting children and youth in Africa and elsewhere in the world. The impetus for the introduction of the Institute was strengthened by the critique emanating from African researchers of the content and context of the developmental crises facing the continent. In addition, the link between these problems and what is designed as an annual interdisciplinary forum where participants can reflect together on a specific aspect of the conditions of children and the youth in Africa provided further support for this kind of Institute. It is hoped that this Institute will contribute to the advancement of the frontiers of knowledge and policy.
The deadline for submission of proposals is 31st March, 2010.
The Institute will be held in Dakar, Senegal from the 6th September to 1st October, 2010. All applications or requests for further information should be addressed to:
