In his lecture, Elísio Macamo, Principle Investigator in the Reversing the Gaze project, discusses the field of African Studies as the reflection of how one comes to the knowledge of Africa and the ability to talk truthfully about the African continent.

The online lecture series “In our own words – African perspectives on knowledge production and science” was developed in the framework of the Pilot African Postgraduate Academy and is as a cooperation of Prof Dr Elísio Macamo, Prof Dr Mamadou Diawara and L.I.S.A.Science Portal of the Gerda Henkel Foundation.
