South-South Globalisation Podcast

With support from the Oxford University Africa Society (AfriSoc) and Wolfson College, Temitope has set up the South-South Globalisation Podcast. The stories shared in this podcast will show how knowledge is produced and exchanged along routes that do not necessarily intersect with or need the mediation of the West. The podcast will endeavor as much as possible to capture a plurality of voices, experiences, and geographies. 

The first episode goes live on Tuesday 16 March and features Professor Elleke Boehmer, Professor of World Literature in English and Fellow at Wolfson. In 1979 Elleke, then a 17 year old woman, travelled from South Africa to Brazil. Coming from the wrapped political and racial state of Apartheid South Africa, she discovered a certain sense of South in Rio. In this episode, Elleke reflects on the scarcity of south-south links at the time, and how that has changed.
