Call for Chapter Proposals: Routledge Handbook of African Demography
Posted: 10/9/2019 (Conference)
Call for Chapter Proposals:
Routledge Handbook of African Demography: A book to be edited by Clifford Odimegwu, PhD, Wits University, South Africa.
Proposal Submission Deadline: 31 October 2019.
African demography in terms of structure, training and research has been in transition since 1994, leading to a massive increase in the number of population scientists and research outputs. With the golden generation of African demographers and population scientists tending to retirement from training and research scenes, there is urgent need to document the body of research in Africa in the past 50 years and define the future of African demographic scholarship.
Principally the handbook will be a comprehensive collection and documentation of methodological, theoretical, practical and substantive issues on African demography. The book will also provide exhaustive bibliography rich in references to African demography research done in Africa by Africans and African scholars. The handbook will be an essential collection for teachers, researchers, policy makers and programmers in the field of population research. No new study or analysis is needed, except a comprehensive review of what is known and what should be known in the next decades of demographic research in Africa.
The handbook is expected to be launched at the forthcoming IUSSP conference in India in 2021.
Abstracts should be sent by email to Prof Clifford Odimegwu: Clifford.Odimegwu@wits.ac.za.
