Some years back, around 2013, I was asked to write an article on the uses of the Bible in African law.Footnote
1 Researching references to the Bible and biblical law across the African continent, I soon learned that, besides support for arguments by a few states in favor of declaring themselves “Christian nations,” the main use was in emerging debates over homosexuality and same-sex relationships almost exclusively to condemn those relationships. In January 2013, the newly formed African Consortium for Law and Religion Studies (ACLARS) held its first international conference at the University of Ghana Legon.Footnote ....

The "Deviant" African Genders That Colonialism Condemned


In “pre-colonial times,” wrote the late feminist scholar Niara Sudarkasa, women in West Africa were “conspicuous in high places.” They led armies, often played important consultative roles in politics, and in the case of the Lovedu people (present-day South Africa), they were even supreme Rain Queens. What it meant to be a woman in many African pre-colonial societies was not rigid. “Among the Langi of northern Uganda,” writes Sylvia Tamale, dean of the faculty of Law at Makerere University Uganda, “the mudoko dako, or effeminate males, were treated as women and could marry men.” There were also the Chibados or Quimbanda of Angola, male diviners whom, some scholars have argued, were believed to carry female spirits through anal sex. ....

Data science needs input from women - The Mail & Guardian


Data science needs input from women
Being involved in the inaugural Women in Data Science (WiDS) Africa conference struck me as an opportunity to try to give credence to literary theorist and feminist critic Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak’s famous essay on colonialism and allow the “subaltern to speak”. 
As a feminist ally, I passed the mic to some phenomenal women who are generally underpaid, underrepresented and unseen in the world of data science which, especially in Africa, is male-dominated.
Data has been referred to as the new oil because it is a valuable asset that has the potential to transform the way society operates. Data science is the interdisciplinary, complex employment of big data, artificial intelligence and advanced analy­tics and is a fast-growing field of science. It is increasingly being used to inform policy and decision-making in both government and the private sectors, but representation in the field remains unequal. ....

GREGORY WARNER, HOST:
You re listening to ROUGH TRANSLATION from NPR. I m Gregory Warner. And today, a story from Uganda about a woman who has elevated insults to an art form that even the president of her country, Yoweri Museveni, has not been able to ignore.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
STELLA NYANZI: Yoweri, they say it was your birthday yesterday - how bitterly sad a day.
WARNER: Now, before we go further, a language alert - this episode includes language that is vulgar and is sexual in nature. It is by far the most explicit episode I have ever worked on. It might be the most graphic thing in your podcast feed right now. And so it goes without saying, some of you may not find this appropriate for kids or safe for work. But we have left this language unbleeped because this episode is a ....
