Sema Live | Episode 6 - Movement Texts as Anti-Colonial Theory

Hosted in Africa Productions Season 1 Episode 6

This episode extends the Sema Session episode on Indigenising Sites of Knowledge in Africa.

The question here is where do we draw our knowledge from, particularly on anti-colonial theories in the 21st Century? Do we only rely on the mainstream texts, which are often tainted with colonial undertones?

Join two upcoming legal scholars* as they interrogate the inclusion or exclusion of certain sources of knowledge in the academic space specifically, and other general knowledge sites.

This episode is largely based on a journal article by Dr. Mahvish Ahmad, an Associate Professor at LSE, titled "Movement texts as Anti-colonial theory", available here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/00380385221098516

*Melissa Mungai and guest Zwelithini Eugene Xaba are legal scholars with an interest in the decoloniality discourse in African academies.
They are also Members of the Hosted in Africa Network.
