[Air-L] How to write about platformisation from Africa

[Cheryll Soriano]

Dear colleagues,

Please consider sharing this call with potential candidates. Thank you.

***********

*How to write about platformisation from Africa*

WHAT: A fully-funded, three-day writing workshop, sponsored by Edinburgh
University through the Africa-Edinburgh Catalytic Partnership Fund 2023/24.

WHY:  Riffing off Binyavanga Wainaina’s famous satirical essay “how to
write about Africa”, the intention of this workshop is to engage in
creative and generative ways with writing about digital platforms, and
strengthen the network of platform scholars working on and from Africa.

WHO: Early-career researchers. Priority for funding will be given to
Africa-based scholars, but there will be a few additional spaces for
researchers based elsewhere and capable of co-funding their travel.

WHERE: African Centre for Cities, University of Cape Town, South Africa

WHEN: 15-17 July 2024

APPLICATION DEADLINE: 25 April 2024
