How should scholars engage with oral sources? In this article I reflect on the social conventions addressed by Yoruba ìtàn (narrative histories) to contextualise the information they provide on urban life and gender relations in the eighteenth century.

I am really pleased that my article on marriage in eighteenth-century West Africa has now been published. It was a labour of love!

Very informative visit to @unibirmingham & discussion with students. Congratulations on the 125th anniversary.
Many ties to 🇩🇪, like Goethe University Frankfurt, but also through Horizon Europe. Innovative work at @TyseleyEnergy. Thanks to Pro Vice Chancellor Robin Mason & team.

A woman was assaulted.
She spoke up.
Her abuser presided over her case.
She was punished instead.
If this does not make you sick, then you are part of the problem.

#Thiaroye44 In December 1944 in #Senegal, the French army opened fire on African soldiers who were simply demanding their pay. 80 years later, the number of victims and their burial site remain unknown. #France continues to obstruct the truth. Here’s why.
