The African Studies Association is having its meetings in San Francisco at the moment, but is holding them in the Westin St Francis, a union boycotted hotel. All’s not lost though. There’s a fine-looking meeting on African and Global Food, with some excellent panelists, at the San Francisco Public Library on Nov 17th, and S’bu Zikode of the Abahlali baseMjondolo Shackdwellers Movement will be in town giving talks in Oakland and San Francisco. Full details on these events below the fold.
