Announcement of Book Launch: 

The Africa Multiple Cluster Gender and Diversity Office Presents the ICDL Book Launch 

African Women in Digital Spaces: Redefining Social Movements on
the Continent and in the Diaspora. (2022)

Featuring the editors Dr. Wunpini F Mohammed and Dr. Msia K Clarke

The book launch and round table discussion will provide thought impulses towards continuing the conversations around decolonizing African Media Studies, begun at the Cluster’s Medialities Conference in July 2022. 

At the same time, this conversation charts intersections and overlaps between geophysical, geopolitical and digital spatialities, ICDL concepts, citizenship and belonging between the continent and the diasporas. 

Among relevant foci are digital literacy and power relations, potentials of decolonisation of knowledge and knowledge production practices in digital spaces, and more conscious critical engagements with African women’s scholarship in digital humanities. 

Book Synopsis:
From Tamale to Paris, Hong Kong to Texas and back to Ouagadougou, this collection of scholarly chapters, poetry and personal essays theorize the lives of African women and people of marginalized genders on the continent and the diaspora. The book is an important intervention in conversations on social movements and their convergence with digital media and other praxis tools. The contributors bring a refreshing perspective to discourses on African feminists‘ agency and how this manifests in their organizing a physical world and in the digital public sphere. The volume demonstrates the relationships between the struggles of African feminists on the continent and the diaspora charting pathways for African scholars to build coalitions and work toward collective liberation.
