Abahlali is a movement of\, by\, and for the poor\, with thousands of members living in shack settlements who are fighting for land\, housing\, and dignity.

Today it is one of the largest social movements in South Africa. Zikode has been invited to speak about the movement in dozens of countries across the world.

She teaches in the PhD program of Earth and Environmental Sciences at the City University of New York\, where she is also Director of the Center for Place\, Culture\, and Politics. She is the author of the prize-winning Golden Gulag: Prisons\, Surplus\, Crisis\, and Opposition in Globalizing California (UC Press); of Abolition Geographies: Essays Towards Liberation (Verso); and of the forthcoming Change Everything: Racial Capitalism and the Case for Abolition (Haymarket). \n“Black Reconstruction as a Portal” is a year-long Sawyer Seminar at the University of California\, Irvine that explores the global salience of visions for Black Reconstruction as a portal between the crisis that marks our current predicament and the freedom dreams of those who have taken to the streets insisting that another world is still possible.

The aim is to grapple with Black Reconstruction’s influence on colonial struggles and global black thought. I will do so by probing the reception of Du Bois’ ideas in continental Portugal and its dominated territories in Africa\, and the articulation of Du Bois’ concepts into operative and practical principles against Portuguese colonialism. I will conclude by discussing the ways in which Black Reconstruction still yields crucial insights to grapple with the color line in contemporary Portugal\, as the society that harbors the largest diasporic community from the former ‘Portuguese’ Africa. \nSpeaker: António Tomás\, University of Johannesburg\, Graduate School of Architecture\, “From Du Bois to Cabral: ‘Portuguese’ Africa and the Color Line”\nDiscussant: Steven Osuna\, California State University Long Beach\, Sociology \n“Black Reconstruction as a Portal” is a year-long Sawyer Seminar at the University of California\, Irvine that explores the global salience of visions of Black Reconstruction as a portal between the crisis that marks our current predicament and the freedom dreams of those who have taken to the streets insisting that another world is still possible.

(zoom webinar) DESCRIPTION:Kenya General Elections March 2013 (Photo: The Commonwealth\, Flickr) \nRegister to Attend \nKenya\, like many African countries has struggled and continues to struggle with management of elections. This has often led to outbreaks of post-election violence resulting in killings and displacement of many people\, among other results. In 2007\, more than 1\,100 people were killed and over 500\,000 displaced following its 2007 elections—just one example of the devastating toll such violence can take. \nWith a highly contested election in  August 2022 that will see a transitional government\, this panel of Kroc Institute and Notre Dame Law School alumni\, explores the question\, what has been done and what still remains to be done to reduce the likelihood of electoral violence almost 15 years after 2007 post-election violence? \nPanelists will contribute diverse perspectives on the repercussions of the 2022 elections and discuss strategies that were put in place to mitigate the likelihood of violence. \nThis panel is co-sponsored by the Kroc Institute for International Peace Studies\, The Notre Dame East Africa Alumni Club\, and Notre Dame International.  \nPanelists:  \nJackline Aridi (Moderator)\, Director\, Nairobi Global Centre \nMuthee Kiunga\, Human Rights Advocate; Resettlement Office\, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) \nLevit Nudi\, Cyber Security Researcher \nElias Opongo\, S.J.

What more needs to be done?\nHow do we understand justice and reconciliation from a gender perspective?\nIf we did the TRC over\, what would it need to encapsulate and include to have an impact?\nWhat is the vision going forward?\n\nProgramme: \n10:00    Welcome and introduction \n10:10    Speakers \n11:10    Panel discussion \n11:30    Comfort break \n11:45    Discussion \n12:45    Thanks and close \nIf you have any questions\, please do not hesitate to contact us. \nKind regards\, \nFelicity Harrison\nProgramme Manager: Sustained Dialogues \n\nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n More\n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://cihaorg.com/event/invitation-to-attend-women-and-the-unfinished-business-of-the-trc-online-webinar/ LOCATION:Zoom END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Nairobi:20220826T120000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Nairobi:20220826T140000 DTSTAMP:20260619T023315 CREATED:20220826T035523Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220826T035532Z UID:11520-1661515200-1661522400@cihaorg.com SUMMARY:IDS SEMINAR ON DECENTRALIZATION\, GOVERNING ELITES AND SERVICE DELIVERY (online seminar) DESCRIPTION:The seminar will take place this Friday (26th of August\, 2022) at 12 noon – 2 p.m. East African Time. \nMeeting Link \n\nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n More\n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://cihaorg.com/event/ids-seminar-on-decentralization-governing-elites-and-service-delivery-online-seminar/ LOCATION:Google Meeting END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Nairobi:20220712T150000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Nairobi:20220712T170000 DTSTAMP:20260619T023315 CREATED:20220707T185330Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220707T185330Z UID:11336-1657638000-1657645200@cihaorg.com SUMMARY:Women’s Global Political Participation (online forum) DESCRIPTION:Register here \nThe Peace Centre and its Board of Directors are convening an online forum on “Women’s Global political Participation” to further reflect on women’s roles in elections\, political participation and the impact of electoral processes on women. An initial conversation was held in April concentrating on women and elections in Africa. \nThis virtual forum will attempt to unpack the following questions: \n1. What are the factors leading to a decline in the quality of our democracies? How can women’s political participation contribute to turning the tide of democratic erosion? \n2. Is women’s participation shifting the definition of leadership? Does women’s political participation change/shift power relations and accountability? What has been the value of having women in political spaces? \n3. How can elections be organized differently to allow women’s meaningful participation and to influence the political process? \n4. What are the lessons learnt on women’s political participation and what are innovative responses to deal with the longstanding constraints of women’s political participation? \n5. How can women run for office and/or participate in the political processes when increasingly it requires substantial amounts of money? \n\nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n More\n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://cihaorg.com/event/womens-global-political-participation-online-forum/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Africa/Accra:20220215T150000 DTEND;TZID=Africa/Accra:20220215T170000 DTSTAMP:20260619T023315 CREATED:20220214T185140Z LAST-MODIFIED:20220214T185254Z UID:11118-1644937200-1644944400@cihaorg.com SUMMARY:The Installation of Professor Amina Mama as the Fourth Occupant of the Kwame Nkrumah Chair in African Studies Institute of African Studies DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to invite you to the installation ceremony of Professor Amina Mama\, the Fourth occupant of the Kwame Nkrumah Chair in African Studies.

East African Time (Nairobi). \nTitle: Global Open Access: Shifting Aims\, Important Implications. \nAbstract: Tracing its roots back to scholar-led online initiatives in the 1990s\, Open Access has since become both a political movement to democratise scholarly knowledge\, and a highly profitable business model that threatens Open Access by imposing new costs on scholarly publishing. Insufficient attention has been paid to the structure and hidden costs of various models of Open Access\, and their implications for scholars from low resource disciplines and research environments. Is Open Access a universal good\, or is there a need to reflect on how scholarly openness is structured\, and to ensure that it operates according to standards of epistemic justice and decolonization of knowledge? This research seminar will explore shifting debates about Open Access. \nBio of the Speakers:\nDr. Angela Okune\nAngela is an Associate Editor for Open Access journal\, Engaging Science\, Technology\, and Society. Having interest in Nairobi’s tech research sector\, she co-founded and maintains an experimental\, open ethnographic data portal called Research Data Share (www.researchdatashare.org).

The goal is to deepen capacity for land policy in Africa through improved access to knowledge and information on land policymaking and implementation. The CLPA is a platform for presenting research findings and focusing the attention of a comprehensive range of stakeholders on the issues and status of land policy development\, implementation and monitoring in Africa. The CLPA also provides a unique opportunity to showcase emerging and promising practices and facilitate networking. Conference participants include researchers\, governments (including parliamentarians)\, traditional authorities\, farmers\, civil society\, private sector\, land practitioners and development partners. The CLPA was first held in 2014\, focusing on land\, Investment and agriculture issues. A second edition of CLPA was held under a theme targeting youth\, land and employment in November 2017. The most recent 2019 CLPA focused on winning the fight against corruption in the land sector.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe fourth CLPA is scheduled to take place over 2 – 4 November 2021 combining online and conventional sessions in a hybrid format\, in Kigali\, Rwanda\, under the theme: “Land governance for safeguarding art\, culture and heritage towards the Africa We Want”.  The Conference’s theme aligns with the African Union Declaration of 2021 as “Arts\, Culture and Heritage: Levers for Building Africa We Want\,” which is epitomized by Aspiration 5 of Agenda 2063. The Conference will focus on African heritage and cultural dimensions of land and the potential to secure livelihoods\, economic growth\, and sustainable development through the creative economy in both the rural and urban settings. The Conference will also focus on fostering innovation\, and stimulating social and economic value through creativity\, talent\, intellectual capital\, expressions of the arts\, and cultural entrepreneurship as envisioned in Agenda 2063.\n\nThis edition of the Biennial Conference will adopt a creative and scientific approach in line with its theme. The Conference is designed to capture a broad range of emerging issues and knowledge and generate interest in current land policy themes from a wide range of African policy actors. The conference format will be a hybrid with online and physical participation in Kigali that covers plenary and parallel sessions\, masterclasses\, pre-conference events\, side events\, exhibitions\, and social media to reach a broader audience.\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n Email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)\n Email\n \n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n More\n Share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)\n WhatsApp\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://cihaorg.com/event/2021-conference-on-land-policy-in-africa-clpa-2021/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20211015 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20211018 DTSTAMP:20260619T023315 CREATED:20201015T225523Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201015T225523Z UID:9845-1634256000-1634515199@cihaorg.com SUMMARY:International Conference on "The Fishing Community of Guet Ndar in Saint Louis du Sénégal: Between Singularity and Universality" DESCRIPTION:March 15-17\, 2021 at the CRDS in Saint-Louis du Sénégal (Senegal) \nConference Themes \nOn the basis of these lines of reflection\, communications could address the following themes (Please note that the list below is non-exhaustive): \n● Historicity of the Guet Ndar neighborhood: singularity\, sociology\, major historical figures of the Guet Ndar neighborhood\, land issues\, perception of the Guet Ndarian fishermen by the other communities of Saint-Louis and by the fishing communities of the Atlantic Coast of West Africa \n● Understanding the historical behavior of the seafront (from Nouadhibou to the Gulf of Guinea) and the cause of the erosion (effects of global warming\, rise in the level of the Atlantic Ocean\, etc.) \n● A singular fishing community?
