Postscript: Teaching women's studies in Africa - sample syllabi

Abstract

This chapter caps the Handbook part on "Research and Knowledge Production on Women in Africa." In surveying the epistemological, methodological, and pedagogic issues addressed in this part, certain gaps, silences, distortions, and misconceptions were flagged by the authors in this part. One way to contribute to the redress of these trends observable in the research, study and teaching of African women at institutions and classrooms across the globe is to provide templates for an emancipation and decolonization of the curriculum and corpus. This is the primary objective of this chapter.
