(RHSSA) is a non-profit professional society that\u2019s concerned with regional history,\u00a0 particularly of Southern Africa. It is a non-governmental organization created in order to promote the importance of regional history through international cooperation.<\/li><li>The RHSSA aims to serve as a scholarly voice and platform for consolidating African historians,\u00a0 especially of Southern Africa.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li><li>The RHSSA envisages to create a space for instilling (and disseminating) specific and comparative local and regional history debates as part of a process of decolonising its dormant thoughts from mainly other continental spheres. Cultivating a scholarly creativeness (in historiography and in method),\u00a0 as well as in teaching tertiary History in the region will be part of an effort to meaningfully Africanise. Yet with a conscious purpose to simultaneously be embracive of global intellect and theory. These should gradually display its value in broader (transnational) contexts.<\/li><li>The RHSSA envision to focus on\u00a0 research questions that connect time and space (history and regions) on any scale (from localities to international level).<\/li><li>The RHSSA aims to proactively embrace the spirit of decolonizing education practises in History, and to engage in scholarly research in this region (whether from\u00a0 a micro to macro demarcated or borderless view).\u00a0<\/li><li>In regional history, regions are understood as evolutionary processes. Borders, belonging, localities, and minorities are potential but not the only subjects of research.<\/li><li>The RHSSA will cooperate with\u00a0 institutions, governing bodies and multidisciplinary scholarly experts whose work is historically related.<\/li><li>Evidence of any research are disseminated on various platforms (Scholarly publications; company\/institutional and government reports; Internet as well as scholarly and user-friendly historical sites, locally and regionally).<\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-93b6fe5 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"93b6fe5\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f95eb86\" data-id=\"f95eb86\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d508b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7d508b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h1 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">ANNOUNCEMENTS &amp;
