Pan-African Conversations: An International Journal is the flagship publication of the Institute for Pan-African Thought and Conversation (IPATC) at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. It publishes original high-quality academic research articles, review articles, and commentary twice a year. It is an open-access and strictly peer-reviewed academic journal principally dedicated to the study of the political in all its dimensions and permutations in African and black societies. The journal targets both academic and non-academic readers, practitioners and civil society actors interested in various perspectives on political, economic, and social questions facing Africa and the black world. All submissions are subject to a double-blind peer-review process overseen by a team of editors, and the Editorial Group. The journal is an open-access periodical licensed under creative commons. Special editions are considered once a year. A proposal must outline the edition’s focus, its potential contribution to debates, the number of articles planned, and confirm double-blind peer reviews and timelines. Pan-African Conversations: An International Journal aims to substantively contribute to growing, strengthening and, diversifying the studies of political phenomena in every way desirable through the publication of critical, innovative, and cutting-edge research. It supports the Institute’s objectives for the rigorous production and dissemination of Pan-African knowledge and culture and will from time to time publish out of the Institute’s colloquia and conferences.
