The Assembly is the biggest triennial gathering of scholars drawn from across the Social Sciences and Humanities on the African continent; it also attracts the participation of social researchers from the Diaspora. On the back of the scientific sessions of the Assembly, a meeting of all bona fide members of the Council is held to review the functioning of the institution in the period since the preceding Assembly and decide the intellectual and institutional development agenda that would be pursued for the following three years. Scholars wishing to be considered for participation in the 12th Assembly as paper presenters or convenors of panels on any aspect of the umbrella theme around which the scientific sessions of the Assembly will be structured are invited to send an abstract of the presentation they intend to make for consideration by the CODESRIA Scientific Committee.
