In the latest GeDIA blog, Mapping Africa’s tech ecosystem, @C_WamalaLarsson interrogates "the mapping of Africa’s tech hubs, asking what purpose they serve and . . . the extent to which these maps represent accuracy with reality.” https://t.co/wNERIb8Kmz

#BigData has changed the world forever – just ask Netflix. But, argues @RivettUlrike, when it comes to society, public sector and government big data is perhaps not the silver bullet we imagine.

@icommsza a discussion we often have and need to continue having - paper rejection, bad reviews etc. - it is not a reflection on you but the version of work and we all get it- even the A rated scholars!

Congratulations to latest graduate Dr. Amoako!

What if Africa-based scholars could summon enough courage and conviction to resist the peer pressure of research agendas set by Africanists?

What if we permitted ourselves to ask the questions that interested us; and not those that were legible to our Northern colleagues? (1)
