Gendered politics of autocratisation in Africa
21.03.2024
14:15 - 15:30English
How is gender used by populist politicians and autocratic leaders in Africa?
Illustration by David Nnanna Ikpo Queer issues are highly politicised on the African continent. Questions related to gender identity and homosexuality are central to public discourse and political mobilisation. They are instrumental for illiberal and autocratic politicians’ rise to and hold of power.
What drives and shapes these trends? What are their effects?
Satang Nabaneh will discuss the characteristics of the gendered autocratisation dynamics and counter-forces on the African continent.
The lecture is free and open to all.
The seminar is part of the RDV series, a collaboration between the Centre for Research on Discretion and Paternalism and the Centre on Law and Social Transformation at the University of Bergen. The RDV-webinar series is an interdisciplinary webinar where national and international researchers are invited to talk about their pioneering research on topics regarding law, democracy, and welfare. It is also part of the PhD course on Gendered Autocratization at the Department of Government, UiB.
