F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Event Description

“This first workshop will be led by the Natural History Museum in London and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County, and will take place on 27 January (16:00-18:00 CET). It aims to support citizen science practitioners to review their projects and programmes to see where they are perpetuating ‘white supremacy culture’, name instances of oppression, and work towards antidotes. During this workshop, participants will:

  • discuss what we understand by the term ‘white supremacy culture’, how it is defined and oppressions it encompasses
  • reflect on how these oppressions manifest themselves within citizen science programmes, both at the project and organisational level
  • explore antidotes to these, with the Natural History Museum in London and the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County sharing how they are adapting their communication and work culture and practices to move towards anti-racist citizen/community science.
  •
