First and third day’s
events will be held in
Houston Hall’s Second
Floor in the Benjamin
Franklin, Class of ‘49,
and Golkin rooms.
Most events of the
second day will be
held in Fisher-Bennett
Halls’ Rooms 13, 15,
and 419.
The keynote dinner
of the second day will
be held at the International
House’s South
America Room.

Greater Sudan received an extra amount of attention during the last half century
in public political circles and from scholarly actors. Part of that attention reflects and
campaigns the relationship between the theories and ijtihad of academic pursuit, the
phenomenon of post-colonial world, and the complexity of realities and challenges
of post-colonial discourses, concerns, and for producing a better world. Building
upon serious scholarly studies, Sudanese conversations, debates and dialogues of
past events in addition to forums, and conferences, many scholars, politicians and
intellectual workers continued to reflect on which ways the greater Sudan would go.
This conference is an attempt to look even deeper into this phenomenon by examining
the intersections between past present and future of greater Sudan. As we said
last year, we will say this year also, that Sudan Studies Association, in its second
conference after the split of the country into two Sudans, welcomes the opportunity
to initiate the future of Sudan studies by revisiting this gigantic corpus of existing
knowledge, and by being the primary academic forum for scholars to share their
latest work in the field of Greater Sudan Studies. The Greater Sudan experience and
its developments have not just encouraged studies of the past of this greater human
experience; they also open the door wider to scholars from all disciplines, intellectuals
and knowledge workers the possibility of arriving at a new, and more refined,
understanding of Greater Sudan, its people, human experience, institutions of power
and their entanglements with time, place and the world.
