Thank you to everyone who came to today's session. Some really excellent and enlightening discussions. Keep and eye on our page for the announcement of our next session soon!

Our group's second reading is a book by Professor Táíwò: "Against Decolonization". We understand a whole book can be a lot to get through. So focus on intro, chapter 1 and 4. Refer to Uni library to access the book. DM if having any issues.

If you are looking to supplement your reading for this months' session, Táíwò has appeared on a podcast, where he gives an overview of his book. Check it out here: open.spotify.com/episode/79mdJv… or click the link in our Linktree!
