SUMMARY:Growing pains: Hip-Hop pedagogy confronts neoliberalism in Senegal
DESCRIPTION:25 February\, 1-2pm GMT\nREGISTER HERE\nJoin this REAL Centre s
 eminar in person at the Faculty of Education\, University of Cambridge\, o
 r online\, to hear from invited speaker:\nDr Noella Binda Niati\, Assistan
 t Professor of Education and International Development\, Faculty of Educat
 ion\nYoung people in West Africa are seen as a contradiction. They are eit
 her seen as optimistic and a catalyst of change on one hand and also deeme
 d transgressive and a ticking time bomb on the other. Unlike more politica
 lly repressive post-colonial countries\, in Senegal\, social movements are
  widely recognised in the political landscape of the country. Senegal is o
 ften portrayed as a role model for a high-functioning liberal democracy wi
 th relative economic success in the region. Social movements have used pol
 itical opportunities as an outlet for expression and have been used by pol
 iticians as a tactic for mobilisation.\nThis seminar highlights findings f
 rom a study examining how youth organisations\, such as Y'en a Marre in Se
 negal use Hip-Hop to challenge established systems of power and knowledge.
  Drawing on a conceptual framework rooted in counter-narratives\, this sem
 inar interrogates the sociopolitical dynamics of Y'en a Marre\, their enga
 gement with Hip-Hop pedagogy and the contradictions in navigating their tr
 ans-African ideals while fending off or not the sociopolitical status quo.
  What is evidenced is that young people are struggling with and navigating
  the consequences of an institutionalised neoliberal script that has adver
 sely impacted educational outcomes and engendered a system of western depe
 ndency.\n&nbsp\;\n&nbsp\;
