Decolonizing Education - Towards Reconstructing a Theory of Citizenship Education for Postcolonial Africa

Norah Barongo-Muweke aims to reconstruct a theory of citizenship education for the postcolonial South. She works towards fostering scientific construction and mainstreaming of postcoloniality as analytical category, dimension of gender, policy, sustainable learning and societal transformation. A consistent conceptual framework for theorising together gender and postcoloniality is absent so far. In her analyses  citizenship awareness and its bedrock institutions are eroded.
