If you are a scholar in one of these fields and would like to appear on this list, please fill out this form. The only reason a scholar of Ethiopian/Eritrean history, religion, music, art, or literature does not appear below is because they have not filled out the form. Please note, no scholars are excluded from this list.
Scholars are listed in no particular order, outside of career stage. Most of these scholars’ emails can be found through a simple online search, but if you absolutely can’t find it, you may email me to ask for it, using the email on this website. This information is posted to aid those looking for scholars to teach, visit, submit work to their edited volumes or journals, or present work at conferences or universities. The following is a list of some of the scholars who work on Ethiopian/Eritrean history, religion, music, art, or literature (that is, have done work in the humanities). I am currently looking for a better way of collecting and listing this information. Note: This page has not been updated in two years many names are missing.
