The Liberian Studies Association is a non-profit, scholarly organization that provides a means for effective cooperation among persons interested in furthering research in all scholarly disciplines on topics relevant to the Republic of Liberia.

“To the question why study Liberia, or why a forum devoted to the study of Liberia, the answer inevitably is two-fold: one, to serve the end of disinterested pursuit and advancement of knowledge, and two, to serve the end of development of the nation and people of Liberia.”
- D. Elwood Dunn

Greetings,

On behalf of the Board of the Liberian Studies Association, I am writing to express our appreciation to all those who attended and participated in the LSA 55th annual conference held April 18-20, 2024, at Cornell. The depth and quality of the deliberations and presentations were truly informative and valuable.

We are also thankful for the opportunities for collaboration and networking that the event facilitated. It is interactions like these that propel our association forward and foster a spirit of cooperation and growth.

Please accept our sincere thanks for your valuable contribution. We hope that the conference was as rewarding for you as it was for us and that you left with new perspectives and ideas to inspire your work.

The business meeting resulted in a new two-year term president, Dr. Jacien Carr. Other officers include Vice President Dr. Michael Wannah, Board members Dr. Samuel Wai Johnson, Jr., Mr. Franklin Ben Weller, Secretary General J. Sayegh, and Treasurer Inyang Williams

Once again, thank you for your time and for supporting the Liberian Studies Association.

Respectfully,
