TOPIC: CONTESTING GLOBAL NORTH HEGEMONY IN ARTS, HUMANITIES, AND SOCIAL SCIENCES KNOWLEDGE-MAKING: RESEARCH ON, FOR, WITH, IN, AND OF AFRICA
Prof Saleem Badat: “In this lecture, I reflect on the questions of research on, for, with, in, and of Africa in relation to knowledge-making in the arts, humanities, and social sciences and contemporary Global North hegemony.

I engage them to highlight various challenges and the interventions they require by diverse actors if African arts, humanities, and social sciences scholarship is to thrive, overcome its subordinate position in global scholarship, and contribute meaningfully to Africans’ leading rich, rewarding, and secure lives and to the global stock of knowledge and understanding that advances human well-being…”
