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."

I am new to this forum but I am very excited to learn from you all. Thanks for these great resources. I work with SurveyCTO, a mobile data collection platform working with practitioners in international development, education, monitoring and evaluation, impact assessment and evaluation, humanitarian spaces and many others. We did a webinar last month on decentralized data collection, including remote onboarding, training, and accompaniment of enumerators. You can watch it here: https://www.surveycto.com/videos/decentralized-data-collection-webi...
