NEW RESEARCH THREAD🚨: Restoring African Epistemic Agency: Adinkra Philosophies and The Future Of Mental Health Pedagogy and Research in Ghana!
The Adinkra symbol “Ese ne Tekrema” (Teeth & Tongue) reveals a powerful African philosophical framework for:
Collaborative research
Sustainable knowledge
Cultural healing
Why does this matter? Current mental health pedagogy and research:
➡️ Marginalise African knowledge
➡️ Prioritise Western philosophies and frameworks
➡️ Create epistemic injustice
My work shows how Akan philosophy fixes this!
3 revolutionary applications:
1️⃣ Indigenous–designed mental health curricula
2️⃣ Indigenous KPIs for progress
3️⃣ Scholar/health practitioners–Indigenous partnerships
This is how we build culturally–safe care!
