Feminist Africa seeks to provide Africa-based early career researchers working on feminist/gender analysis in the social sciences with the space and intellectual community to transform a draft paper into a publishable journal piece. The need for such a workshop comes from the observation that although there is significant feminist research being conducted especially at graduate level, much of it remains unpublished and therefore its visibility and impact is minimal beyond the thesis.

Honouring Sethunya Tshepo Mosime.
Words to follow and honour: Dr. Sethunya Tshepho Mosime
When Sethunya walked into a room, the light changed. Not simply because of the way in which the people already there tended to greet her uproariously, with joy and welcome, but because of the energies she embodied: beautiful, fight-back, engaged and extraordinary energies, energies which encompassed everybody, energies that were not
afraid.
