The Future of African Academia and Black Identity in a Digital World

Connecting The Dots Podcast

This week on Connecting the Dots, we’re joined by Prof. Abdoulaye Gueye, a leading African sociologist and professor at the University of Ottawa.

We dive into how colonial legacies still shape African universities today: Who are they built for? Whose image do they serve? And what does that mean for the future of knowledge on the continent? Tune in for a powerful conversation about identity, higher education, and what it means to build African science that tells our own stories.
