This week I had a very interesting [...] lecture. The reading we had to complete for the lecture was based on several regions including [African region]. [...] i finally felt like i identified with my course because for the first time I felt like ‘my peoples’ work and contributions to the discipline were acknowledged and appreciated enough to be deemed valuable enough for us to spend 3 hours discussing bits and pieces.
This isn’t to say that this is the first time i’ve come across discussions of African countries in the context of [my course]. But previously those discussions seemed to be paired with the subtle snobbish assumption that our idea of [design] is only a result of poverty and lack of technology.
