Conference Announcement and Call for Papers

Dear Colleague,

The Institute for African Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences in co-operation with the Mwalimu Nyerere Foundation and the Russian-Tanzanian Cultural Centre in Dar es Salaam will hold an international conference titled "Leadership and Power in Africa in the Past and the Present: Studies in Russia, Tanzania and Beyond" on March 1-4, 2022. We are glad to invite you to participate in the Conference. In case you are willing to take part in this event, please submit a paper abstract (within 300 words in English) alongside with personal particulars (names, affiliation, e-mail address) by December 1, 2021 to Prof. Dmitri M. Bondarenko at dbondar@hotmail.com. The Conference is planned as a face-to-face event in Dar es Salaam, but giving a paper online may be possible if the Organizing Committee is informed about it in advance at the addresses dbondar@hotmail.com and tanzania@rs.gov.ru. No registration fee presupposed. To our pity, the Organizing Committee cannot assist financially or technically in purchasing air tickets or booking a hotel. The Organizing Committee can assist technically in organizing individual post-Conference culture program – trips to one of national parks or to Zanzibar island. Please, approach the Organizing Committee at tanzania@rs.gov.ru in advance in case you would like to get its assistance in making a post-Conference trip. We cannot provide an official Letter of Invitation valid for applying for a Tanzanian visa, but citizens of most countries do not need it or can easily purchase a visa without a Letter of Invitation either online (e-visa) or at the Dar es Salaam Julius Nyerere International Airport on arrival (please, visit https://eservices.immigration.go.tz/visa/, https://www.onlinevisa.com/visa-policy/tanzania/, https://www.ivisa.com/tanzania-blog/tanzania-entry-visa, https://www.ivisa.com/tanzania-blog/tanzania-visa-rules-and-requirements, https://www.tanzaniavisas.com/visa-on-arrival/ to check your eligibility for these options). The Organizing Committee would appreciate your familiarizing colleagues from your and other institutions with information regarding the Conference.
