Disparate Youth: What Young Academics Have to Say

The Season 7 finale features a compelling roundtable with young academics, Chebet Koske and Dorcas Mwigereri, discussing the realities of navigating the African academy. They tackle challenges like limited resources, mentorship gaps, and sidelined youth voices, while emphasising the need for intergenerational collaboration and peer support. Our guests share strategies for young people to confidently step into leadership roles and also highlight the critical need for platforms that amplify young voices and center (rather than tokenise) Africa’s youth in shaping the future. Chebet and Caroline close the discussion by sharing their ambitions, advice for older generations, and words to their younger selves. Visit our website to learn more about the Mawazo Institute.
