Join us for our next Critical Research on Africa talk:
"In Situ Marginalization: The Urban Wetland-Livelihood (Dis)assemblage in Coastal Ghana"
by Seth Asare Okyere, Urban Studies Teaching Assistant Professor
Thursday, April 16
1:00 to 2:30 PM
5603 Posvar Hall & Zoom
In this talk, Dr. Okyere examines how wetland management policy plays out in rapidly urbanizing Ghana, where land has become a fiercely contested resource. Drawing on rich fieldwork from the Sakumono wetland site, he explores how regulations are selectively enforced to protect the interests of powerful elites while quietly marginalizing local communities in place. Through the lens of assemblage thinking, the talk reframes urban wetlands as vital spaces of survival, knowledge, and ecological justice. We hope to see you there!
