  • Social Psychology Panel
    Social Psychology Panel Sharon Preves First I would like to thank Ron Anderson and Ron Aminzade for inviting me to be a part of this dynamic one hundred-year celebration of sociology at the University of Minnesota. I am honored to be a graduate of this department and humbled to be among so many accomplished teachers and scholars today. I want to take this time to reflect on my recent graduate career at the University of Minnesota as well as my recent transition into academe since graduation. I am a very recent graduate of the University, having just completed my Ph.D. in sociology and feminist studies in August of 1999. I defended my dissertation on a Monday, and moved Thursday of the same week to Grand Rapids, Michigan where I took a tenure-track position in sociology at Grand Valley State University. I worked at Grand Valley for two years and took a leave of absence this past year for a one-year visiting position in sociology at Hamline University, my alma mater, for the 2001-2002 academic year. Just two weeks ago, Hamline offered me, and I joyously accepted, a tenure-track position in sociology. I entered the University of Minnesota’s Department of Sociology in the fall of 1993 after completing one year of Ph.D. coursework in medical sociology at the University of California San Francisco. I came to Minnesota with plans for a career in teaching sociology, a mission to which I am still very dedicated. I had the great pleasure of working with fabulous teaching mentors during my T.A.

  • The Leaders' Journal
    Issue 1, 2019 The Leaders’ Journal Pushing the boundaries of feminist thought leadership in Africa 1 About Leaders’ s the feminist movement makes strides in organizing for women’s liberation, a false di- Achotomy between activism and the development of feminist thought and knowledge re- mains. And yet feminist theory provides the language and lens to express and concisely artic- ulate women’s experiences. Amina Mama writes that Feminist writing and publishing is a key route to conscietization. She believes that unless we link collective organising with coherent feminist consciousness informed by sound theories of gender oppression and change, we easily become subject to an identity politics that will keep us divided. And yet not many plat- forms exist for African feminists, and young non-established ones in particular to contribute to the movement’s growth and strengthening through feminist scholarship. Furthermore, too few opportunities exist for budding writers to be supported in raising the quality of their written work to the level that mainstream and established journals would feature. Akina Mama wa Afrika seeks to radicalise, disrupt and contribute to intellectual activism through the leaders’ journal, a platform for feminists to provide thought leadership and to create home grown repositories of knowledge on gender issues using feminist tools of analysis. The jour- nal looks to build a community of contributors and readers that value intellectual rigour and activism and that understand feminist analysis as both an intellectual and movement building pursuit. Acknowledgements Consulting Editor: Rosebell Kagumire, Editorial Support: Leah Eryenyu Coordinator: Fionah Komusana About us Akina Mama wa Afrika (AMwA) is a feminist Pan-African leadership development organization that was founded in 1985 by a group of visionary African women in the United Kingdom but later relocated to Africa with headquarters in Kampala, Uganda.

  • Decolonization and Afro-Feminism
    Praise for Decolonization and Afro-Feminism In this boldly argued and well-written book, the seasoned intellectual/teacher/activist Sylvia Tamale presents Africa as an urgent decolonial Pan-African project. Using an Afro-feminist lens, she gives us a roadmap as she deconstructs gender, sexuality, the law, family and even Pan-Africanism. Decolonization and Afro- Feminism makes a major epistemic contribution to charting Africa’s way forward. a comprehensive effort, it should have a broad appeal transcending disciplines and other colonial borders. Tamale alerts us to new forms of domination such as digital colonialism. This book will leave you thinking! —Oyeronke Oyewumi, author of The Invention of Women: Making an African Sense of Western Gender Discourses Decolonization and Afro-Feminism is a book we all need! It brings an encyclopaedic rigour and a committed feminist analysis to the study of decolonization and what it offers as a liberatory praxis in contemporary Africa. Sylvia Tamale’s scholarship has always been rooted in solidarity with the lived struggles of African feminists, queer communities and African academics, and it shows in her exploration of the many challenges that have shaped contemporary struggles around gender, sexuality, race, justice and Africa’s freedom. Essential Reading. —Jessica Horn, Feminist writer and co-founder, African Feminist Forum Working Group In this extraordinary and erudite book, Sylvia Tamale, the distinguished Ugandan scholar and public intellectual, brilliantly dissects and demolishes the dangerous tropes of coloniality that distort our understanding of African societies, cultures, bodies, institutions, experiences, social relations, and realities. She unsparingly and compellingly advances the analytical power and emancipatory possibilities of decolonial feminism.

  • Controlling Women's Fertility in Uganda
    CONTROLLING WOMEN’S FERTILITY IN UGANDA Sylvia Tamale • Perspectives on religion, law and medicine • ABSTRACT Beginning with an examination of the impact of the contraceptive pill, Sylvia Tamale asks the question: Why Control Women’s Sexuality? The author addresses, by using the Ugandan context as an example, the reasons why capitalist-patriarchal societies have sought to regulate the ability of women to be autonomous in terms of their reproductive choices. The author then examines the attitudes of the Abrahamic religions (Christianity and Islam) on contraception and family planning. She notes that despite conservative religious attitudes persisting, there are occasional glimmers of hope. Finally, Tamale looks at the role of the Law - both at the international and national level - in translating the religious norms that these dominant religions have designed into mechanisms of social control. KEYWORDS Contraception | Uganda | Reproductive rights • SUR 24 - v.13 n.24 • 117 - 128 | 2016 117 CONTROLLING WOMEN’S FERTILITY IN UGANDA 1 • Introduction Without a doubt, one of the most revolutionary inventions of the 20th century was the birth control (oral contraceptive) pill in the 1950s, which was made publically available in the 1960s. That pill changed the world in the late 20th century in the same way that the Internet has changed the early 21st. Not only did the invention change science and medicine, it also signaled new heights for the protection of womenfolk around the world. Gender relations were never going to be the same; it is no exaggeration to say that modern contraceptive mechanisms re-wrote democracy. This is because modern birth control devices put women in control of their futures and their bodies for the first time.

  • Sylvia Tamale: a Human Rights Impact Assessment of the Ugandan
    49 A Human Rights Impact Assessment of the Ugandan Anti-homosexuality Bill 2009 Sylvia Tamale On 14 October 2009, the Anti-homosexuality Bill was introduced before the parliament of Uganda. The Bill received international criticism from human rights organisations and states alike. If passed, the Anti-homosexuality Bill would legitimise, institutiona- lise, increase and perpetuate the profound discrimination and gross inequality suffered by lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people in Uganda today. On 18 November 2009, Dr. Sylvia Tamale, Professor of Law and Trustee of The Equal Rights Trust, delivered this speech at Makerere University, Kampala, assessing the im- pact that this Bill would have on human rights. I would like to thank the Human Rights and Peace Centre for inviting me here this after- the struggle for human rights over the years; noon to share my views on this bill.
