Decolonial feminist psychology in Africa interrogates capitalist racism, patriarchy and sexuality

Social psychologist Shose Kessi works in the Psychology Department at the University of Cape Town. Dr Kessi is the co-leader of the Hub for Decolonial Feminist Psychologies in Africa. Among other things, the Hub provides a transdisciplinary space on decolonial and feminist aesthetics and praxes for psychological work, focusing intersectional identities and oppressions; social movements, leadership and activisms; institutional cultures and spatial justice; transgenerational trauma; and reparations and reconciliation. The Hub offers postgraduate students, emerging and senior researchers, as well as other collaborators the benefit of access to decolonial and feminist networks, team supervision, co-publishing, student-led dialogues, research events, writing workshops, teach-ins, mentoring, exchange programmes and residencies.
