Is Africa Ready for AI? Digital Information Privacy Awareness and AI Adoption on the Continent
Respect for privacy has been identified as a guiding principle for the development and use of responsible or ethical artificial intelligence (AI), but also as an endangered value in many countries, including those in Africa. Yet, on the African continent, awareness of personal information privacy remains in its early stages, and awareness-raising initiatives are still limited, fragmented, and non-governmental-driven. Given the current global and …
Kenya's Over-Reliance on Institutionalization as a Child Care and Child Protection Model: A Root-Cause Approach
Institutionalization of children who are deprived of parental care is a thriving phenomenon in the global South, and has generated considerable concern both nationally and internationally, in the last two decades. In Kenya, the number of children growing up in live-in care institutions has been growing ever since the country's early post-independence years. Although legislative and regulatory measures aimed at child protection have been in place …
If you give me time I can love you’: A Pregnant Researcher among Male Beach Workers on Kenya’s Liminal South Coast Beaches

This article looks at how charity organizations running private residential child care institutions on the Kenyan coast make use of the personal data of children in their care, as a means of securing and maintaining the support of donors from the global North. The strategy involves the online showcasing of children's profiles-individual children's photos, accompanied by their names, birth dates, annual development, and their emotion-inducing pers…
What's in it for me: Negotiations of asymmetries, concerns and interests between the researcher and research subjects
Pre-interview interactions between qualitative researchers and research subjects are characterized by two-way sense-making processes, through which research subjects attempt to make sense of researchers' intentions, and what they themselves stand to gain or lose from participating in a given research. Based on a reflexive account of my ethnographic fieldwork experiences in Kenya's South Coast region, among men known as 'beach boys' and as partici…
