Dear Friends, welcome to another ACUSAFRICA-pod, hosted at Nelson Mandela University.  

Professor Kopano Ratele joins us, he is an acclaimed South African psychologist and scholar. He is currently based at the Department of Psychology at Stellenbosch University South Africa. His research, teachings, social-political activism, and community mobilizations are in African psychology, African-situated decolonizing psychology, masculinity, identity, violence, traditions, sexuality, class, race, and other areas. He contributes regularly to newspapers, and television. He has also been on the CapeTalk Dads radio show, aired weekly in 2017-2018 discussing matters related to boys, men, masculinity, sexuality, violence, and fatherhood. 

In this episode, Prof Kopano invites us to think, under what conditions would we consider an excellent or even a satisfactory thesis that quotes mainly authors from Western Europe or North America. He also attends to the question, does our world reflect our fullness? Why should decolonization be part of how we live, teach, learn and research for change?
