How has it been made to mean, and what is associated

I mean, it's weird to talk about it as this one place,

How is it that we've come to talk about Africa

as a thing, a place in the world, when in fact, it

includes over 50 countries, and thousands of languages,

SARAH HANSEN: Today on the podcast, a conversation

about teaching a categorically misunderstood concept, Africa.

for bold new ways of teaching through her own experiences

the ability for teachers to empower or inhibit

AMAH EDOH: What's made the biggest difference for me

And the lack of that does a lot of damage, right?

make you feel like you have nothing to offer,

of valorize students' voices and to show them

a podcast about inspired teaching at MIT.

I'm your host Sarah Hansen from MIT OpenCourseWare.

to meet Amah Edoh, an Assistant Professor of African Studies

around the complex array of cultures, traditions, nations,

and ideas known as Africa, and how Africa as a concept

things like music, ritual, performance, and dress.

through the very creative practices that make it.

the meaning we've prescribed to a place as rich and diverse

We'll pick up our conversation with Professor Edoh's

AMAH EDOH: You know, we're used to speaking of Africa

that's burdened with a lot of ideas and values

that historically have been negative, to put it simply.

And so what my research and my teaching centers on

So first, making visible the ways that Africa

is made to mean, so that's what I mean with Africa

To understand that Africa means more than just

But then to see the ways that this valence

the way that that plays out in all aspects of life, really.

So broadly speaking, it's like the question

of thinking about Africa as category of thought

is understanding the politics that are involved in engaging

with the continent in an intellectual manner,

In this course, we use creative practices-- so the arts,

One, because there's a way that, you know,

I'm not crazy about the term "popular culture"

because it's a way that it seems to devalue it,

Yet, it animates so much of our daily experiences,

So on one hand, the purpose or goal of using this as a way

into asking these more kind of theoretical and philosophical

questions about Africa as a category of thought

is to recognize that these everyday practices are actually

is sort of having this moment where its signification is

Part of it is understanding whether it's actually shifting.

But where all the stories we had about the continent

used to be about war, and disease, and famine,

now, there is also another discourse where Africa's hot.

Africa is where all of these new possibilities are playing out.

So whether it's within the business realm
