  • 33 - The Palestine Teach-Ins | On Decolonisation & Patriarchy

    This teach-in, produced together with Makerere Institute for Social Research, was led by Palestinian community organiser Haneen Maikey who joined us in person in Kampala.


    Maikey is the founder and former director of Al-Qaws, a civil society organisation disrupting gender-based oppression and transforming perspectives on marginalised groups. Maikey spoke on Palestine, decolonisation and patriarchy and invited the audience to consider certain questions on these topics such as: what is our individual positioning within patriarchy? How is gender politics used as a tool of colonialism? And is patriarchy the extension of colonialism?


    As with previous teach-ins this was a hybrid event, with an in-person and online audience. You can find recordings of our teach-ins with Ora Wise and Amanny Ahmed, Baha Hilo, Anselm Kizza-Besigye and Yahya Sseremba on our Spotify for Podcasters channel
