This revised edition is an essential reference work for students seeking international internships. The Directory is a comprehensive guide to international internships sponsored by educational institutions, government agencies, and private organizations. It consists of over 160 pages including a bibliography and indexed by subject and geographical areas. The conference is limited to 250 participants from universities, educational associations, donors, and government agencies from South Africa, Europe, and North America. In their papers, speakers will identify major issues of higher education in South Africa and how they can be addressed through linkages with partner institutions.
Early registration is advised.
The guide is prepared by Karen Fung, Deputy Curator, Africa Collection, Hoover Library. Papers should specifically address the African Short Story, a genre still little studied in spite of its growing importance in the field of African literature. Contributions can deal with the writing of a single author, with the works of an era or that of a country or a cluster of regions. However, analysis has to be approached from a comparative perspective, shedding some light on the originality of the African short story in showing what has been retained from European origins and what belongs to the specificity of its African development and the tailoring by African authors to suit their needs. Articles of 3000-3500 words should be sent separately to the two guest editors.
