Cyberfeminism, religious rhetoric, and patriarchy
Discussions on religious submission and patriarchy in cyberspaces offer a nuanced lens for investigating how religion contributes to the inferiorization of women. This paper focuses on the use of social media as an interrogation tool to analyse Biblical texts and norms that enforce women’s subjugation to men. It examines the approaches used by Ghanaian feminist groups and individuals, including the interrogation of the submission gospel, the soci…
Young Women Against Apartheid
From the Garden of Eden to the bachelor’s cemetery
Called the Garden of Eden treatment, after independence, university students in Ghana enjoyed a luxurious lifestyle unknown to most citizens. However, by the end of the twentieth century, a cost-sharing education policy was introduced, to the displeasure of students. This paper provides a historical overview of the financing of higher education institutions in Ghana from 1951 to the Fourth Republic – Nkrumah’s free university education policy, Bu…
Pandemic-induced border closures in West Africa and the perils of cross-border Ghanaian women traders
Status of Women in Student Politics
Across Ghana's higher education institutions, women's representation in student leadership has been generally low despite the gender-neutral requirement. Women's participation in student leadership politics in Ghanaian higher education institutions, specifically universities, has received little attention from higher education and feminist scholars who have briefly mentioned or completely glossed it over. This intellectual omission makes this pap…
Memory-Making in an Urban Park
Jackson Park in Kumase, Ghana, was designed to serve the recreational interests of its immediate African community. The article analyses how Asante citizens appropriated a colonial park and how it was refashioned by the postcolonial Ghanaian state. This article discussed how the changes in the uses of this urban infrastructure produced individual and collective memories. Using archival data and interviews, memories of Jackson Park are reconstruct…
The Women Factor in Gendered Student Activism in Ghana from Independence to the Present
The essentiality of student activism in Ghana is revealed through the role students played in ensuring political stability, economic accountability, and human rights preservation. Scholarly debates are either silent on the gendered nature of student activism or treat women student activists as insignificant participants. Student activism is typically construed around illustrious men and important men-centered events. Men’s voices dominated due to…
Students' and Governments' Entanglements in Ghana's Political Transition
Students' relations with postindependence Ghanaian military regimes have generally been portrayed as positive, yet comparative analysis of the relational dynamics across regime types-military and civilian-is inadequate. This article addresses this knowledge gap using a historical content analytic approach based on original archival and interview data. We argue that strategic and group interests ambiguously influenced students' entanglement with m…
Researching Decolonization
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the role university students played in the decolonization discourse in Ghana. It analyses whether or not the concept of decolonization can be used to investigate the resistance of student movements through their activism. The consciousness of student movements such as the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS) of the continuous existence of forms of colonialism despite nominal independence can be…
It seems the women are taking over
This article explores patterns of change in the advancement of academic women's leadership at universities in Ghana. Referred to as the 'glass ceiling', women generally suffered great setbacks in their advancement in leadership positions, although recent events have led to the appointment and election of women into top-level leadership positions at universities. At a conference at the University of Ghana, organised by the Merian Institute for Adv…
