KEYNOTE LECTURE: Prof. Nwando Achebe, Michigan State University Location: Room A001 Zoom Link This lecture argues that Africa was never “waiting” to be developed. Drawing on historical cases from Mapungubwe, Benin, Idoha, Ogidi, and Ezira/Ochima, it demonstrates that development has consistently encountered complex, functioning systems of governance and knowledge, only to misrecognize, rename, and reorganize them. Rather than addressing absence, development produces it—through the systematic refusal to recognize African authority, particularly that of women. Reframing development as a structure of epistemic and material violence, the lecture calls for a fundamental shift in how knowledge, power, and recognition are understood. |
