Agnes Lucy Lando – författare

This book spotlights and demystifies under-researched elements of research design to support successful research initiatives undertaken by students in African universities.

This volume marks a significant and important departure from research design books rooted in European and American socio-cultural context and places emphasis on contextual realities in Africa. Attending to socio-cultural oral and written methods of eliciting data from participants, contextual sampling techniques, oral and third-party open ended survey instrumentation, and multi-pronged data analysis schemes that emphasize ontological, epistemological, and axiological findings, these chapters constitute a novel and much-needed focus on realities and examples from the continent of Africa.

Written by African scholars, the book will appeal to post-graduate students and early-career scholars and researchers with interests in research methods across the social sciences.

Digital communication as it is practiced in Africa today is at a crossroad. This edited collection takes that crossroad as its starting point, as it both examines the complicated present and looks to the uncertain future of African communication systems. Contributing authors explore how western digital communication systems have proliferated in the African communication landscape, and argue that rich and long-cherished African forms of communal, in-person communication have been increasingly abandoned in favor of assimilation to western digital norms. As a result, future generations of Africans born on the continent and abroad may never recognize and appreciate African systems of communications.
