SouthEast Africanist Network
Founded at the University of Florida in 2000, the SEAN mission is to promote cooperation and collaboration amongst Africanist scholars in expanding the presence of African Studies programs at colleges and universities throughout the Southeast region. In 2010, SEAN partnered with the Southeastern Regional Seminar on African Studies (SERSAS) for a joint conference and the two groups have co-sponsored an annual meeting ever since.
