Experiences of women in early marriages in rural Zimbabwe
This paper attempts to provide a nuanced analysis of the experiences of women in early marriages in rural Zimbabwe. It was guided by a decolonial social constructionist framework and inspired by a feminist lens that endeavoured to gain insight into the first-hand experiences of early marriage. In-depth narrative interviews were carried out with eleven women who experienced early marriages. The article addresses the marginalised voices of the wome…

Decolonizing knowledge within and beyond the classroom
This introduction to the second installment of a two-part special issue focuses on actors and spaces that facilitate different forms of progress or push-back in decolonizing African Studies. We map how student activists have served as agents of decolonial change on campuses over time, and argue that intersectional and feminist leadership characterize the current generation of activism. We then explore how classrooms and curricula serve as sites o…
Decolonizing African Studies
In this introduction to the special issue on decolonizing African Studies, we discuss some of the epicolonial dynamics that characterize much of higher education and knowledge production in, of, with, and for Africa. Decolonizing, we argue, is best understood as a verb that entails a political and normative ethic and practice of resistance and intentional undoing – unlearning and dismantling unjust practices, assumptions, and institutions – as we…

Centre/ing decolonial feminist psychology in Africa
Psychology as a discipline has historically served the interests of dominant groups in society. By contrast, contemporary trends in psychological work have emerged as a direct result of the impact of violent histories of slavery, genocide and colonisation. Hence, we propose that psychology, particularly in its social forms, as a discipline centred on the relationship between mind and society, is well placed to produce the critical knowledge and t…
Community social psychologies for decoloniality
The decolonisation of higher education in South Africa is closely linked to questions of knowledge production. The epistemic violence of the colonial encounter has put into question the possibilities and modes of doing research in marginalised communities. In this article, I argue that praxis in community social psychology can lead to more relevant and just research methods, especially when rooted in liberation thinking. In the South African and …
Black students' experiences of transformation at a previously "white only" South African university
South African higher education has faced much structural transformation since the dismantling of apartheid, and yet remains a racialized space. Despite a stated commitment to transformation in university policy nationally, lay discourses of transformation are highly contested. In these debates, black students are often represented in stigmatizing ways; which affect students' self-esteem and academic performance. This paper explores black students…
