We are pleased to have hosted the 18th session of our Political Economy Teach-In Series, “Feminist Internationalism and Resistance to Neoliberal Globalisation”, on 21 November 2024 with Sylvia Tamale.
Professor Sylvia Tamale is a leading African feminist and scholar. She recently retired from Makerere University’s School of Law where she served for 36 years and was the first female Dean of Law in the country. She has been a visiting Professor in several academic institutions globally and serves on several international human rights boards. She has numerous publications to her name including the award-winning book, Decolonization and Afro-Feminism (Daraja Press, 2020). She is a co-editor of the journal, Feminist Africa. She holds a Bachelor of Laws from Makerere, a Masters in Law from Harvard University, and a Ph.D. in Sociology and Feminist Studies from the University of Minnesota. Tamale also holds two Honorary Doctorates of Law from the University of Pretoria and Rhodes University.
All our sessions are recorded and you can access the previous ones on our website. The videos are in the original version, though we will be working to provide translated transcripts in Arabic, English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese to reach a wider audience.
