THEME: Promoting Multi-disciplinary Research In History and Archaeology ON-SITE: UoN Towers, 4th Floor, MLTO4 ONLINE: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZUsce6trD8rGN3QQIN5MvgVymhkjRNtjjMO?_x_zm_rtaid=cIGoV3MvQQCD8W5nBayOWA.1725243220388.575f17d0175da9c586c69dbe8ead339d&_x_zm_rhtaid=652 Preamble: Up to this point, our History and Archaeology staff seminar series has been going on for over four years running. Hopefully, we have shed light on diverse themes as well as discourses while attracting an impressive audience of local and international participants. During this period, new dimensions and insights have emerged which contain important salutary lessons. One such important lesson is the increased need for exposing our students, staff and visitors to a much wider 'menu' of themes geared towards meeting today's demands, not least increased pressure, for appreciating not only diversity but also inter-disciplinary approaches in our discourses. The result of the above realization is the current cross disciplines series with the focus on promoting inter and multidisciplinary research in the Department. The topics we are going to cover span the disciplines of political science, social anthropology, diplomacy, and, of course, history and archaeology. Equally, of note, is that this semester will culminate on our biennial three-day International Conference between the 16th and 18th October, 2024. Our first conference was in October 2022 and the proceedings are being prepared for publication. The theme of this year's conference will be "MAU MAU: Transitions and Contours of the Postcolonial State in Kenya." |
