<p class="contentpasted1" style="background:white"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Roboto;color:#222222">The University of California, Merced invites submissions for its inaugural Africana Studies Conference. The format will be hybrid (presenters
can attend online or in person at the University of California, Merced, CA). The conference, <i>Being and Becoming: Blackness in Multiple Contexts</i>, seeks to interrogate the distinct experiences of Being, (awareness of a Black identity), and Becoming,
(understanding how one is perceived by the world). We invite graduate student scholars, early career PhDs, and professionals to investigate what it means to be and become Black in multiple contexts including but not limited to: local, national, and international
geographic locations, academia, business, social, political, cultural, public, private, affluent, working class, and tech spaces among others. Please see the <a href="https://blackalliance.ucmerced.edu/2023-conference" target="_blank"><span style="color:#1155CC">call
