The African Leadership Centre (ALC) is pleased to announce our next (ONLINE) research seminar on Tuesday, 24 September 2024, at 11:00 -13:00 BST/13:00- 15:00 EAT.
The session will host a seminar presentation titled “Walking in Healing Soulidarity: ìAfrika’s Healing Justice Approach to Intergenerational Trauma” by Dr Toyin Ajao, Director, ìAfrika.
Abstract:
Through a series of online conversations in the just concluded ìAfrika Healing Soulidarity Virtual Project (HSVP), we garnered insights into what healing justice means to Africans through an Afrofeminist lens. The 16 individuals who participated in the video campaign shared diverse and intersectional approaches through “Let Talk Healing”, “Let’s Do Healing” and “Let’s Walk Healing” on how they are engaging in intergenerational healing for their personal and collective transformation. This is a preliminary presentation of our findings from the analysis of participants defining what healing means to them, their healing practices and how they engage in collective care support with others. This preliminary finding serves as guiding data as ìAfrika delves into wellbeing peace, healing activism, soul advocacy and system change leadership towards intergenerational and collective healing of intra/interpersonal relationships, culture and structures using healing justice, critical consciousness, posthuman security and conflict transformation apparatuses.
