Narratives of Achievement

Dr Jo Littler from CCCI recently traveled to Stellenbosch in South Africa, after having been invited to participate in the ‘Narratives of Achievement in African and Afroeuropean contexts‘ workshop alongside academics from Zimbabwe, Ghana, South Africa, Germany and Australia, to name but a few of the countries participants in the workshop traveled from. Jo talked in the opening session, drawing from her book on meritocracy, alongside Dr Steve Tonah who discussed the Mamprusi royals and their status system in Northern Ghana.
