Admin Posted April 21, 2015 Last month, the Somaliland Journal of African Studies (SJAS) was launched with no Somali academics or researchers on the editorial and advisory boards. This raised a very necessary debate on the continued whiteness of academia, and more specifically on the production of knowledge on and about Africa. It prompted Safia Aidid to start the hashtag #cadaanstudies as a way to engage Somali academics in a conversation on the historical representations of Somalis and Somalia, and create a space for postcolonial and critical academic work by and for Somalis.Listen to an interview with Safia Aidid hereRead Safia’s article in The New InquiryCheck out the storify pageJoin a discussion on #cadaanstudies in Toronto on May 2nd at 10:45am at York University. http://www.somaliaonline.com/join-a-discussion-on-cadaanstudies-in-toronto-on-may-2nd-at-1045am-at-york-university/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
