The Decolonising Our Minds Society in collaboration with the SOAS Somali Society present an evening of discussion. #CadaanStudies

The Decolonising Our Minds Society in collaboration with the SOAS Somali Society present an evening of discussion on what a decolonised Somali Studies looks like. The discussions sparked by #cadaanstudies has highlighted the ways in which academic knowledge production on Somalia/Somali speaking communities has continually excluded and overlooked the intellectual labour of Somalis themselves. This event is not a plea to the academy for inclusion but rather a call to action for Somalis and other diasporic communities to reclaim our own narratives.
