Thanks for launching us, Keith!

I am most centrally interested in the following themes:
Cultural studies of science and technology in Africa (which of course also include cultural politics of sci & tech)
Public spaces, informality and infrastructures in the desegregating city
 The politics of literacy, legibility and expert knowledges in Africa
But would also be intrigued by workshops addressing the following:
Interrogating Neoliberalism as idea and explanation
The Global South as an idea and a source of theory
The perils and possibilities of the digital humanities in Africa
Narrative, visual forms and biopolitics in the medical humanities
Best
Gabrielle
