I’m delighted to announce that we will be hosting a relaxed and informal event at 6 pm on 2nd June in the Beach Bar at the Labadi Beach Hotel, Accra, to discuss some of the arguments contained within my new book Digital Inclusion in an Unequl World: An Emancipatory Manifesto, published by Routledge on April 6th. The event is the day before this year’s three-day eLearning Africa conference, and delegates participating in the conference are welcome to join us. The book contains 31 vignettes, and at least two of the authors who contributed to the book (David Hollow from Jigsaw Education and Tom Wambeke from ITCILO) are speaking at the conference, and will also contribute to the discussions about the book.
Graphic illustrations
Many, but by no means all, of the arguments of the book can be captured in these two graphics. We need to shift the balance from
- economic growth to equity,
- rights to responsibilities,
- working for (or worse still on) to working with,
- rhetoric to reality,
- enslavement to freedom
- me to we
We also need to rethink the meaning of inclusion and champion freedom and emancipation over its use to describe capture and enslavement.
Getting your own copy of the book
You can order the book direct from Routledge Store and Amazon, and a small number of copies will also be for sale at a 30% discount ((£25, €25, CHF25, $30) during the event in Accra.
We look forward to seeing you in Accra for the book event and at eLearning Africa.
