The Architecture of Education: A Sociopolitical Study of Building Schools, School Buildings, and Schooling in Ghana

Invited Lecture | University of Oregon, Eugene | 20th February, 2023

This talk is an account of the making of, being in, and belonging to the post-colonial African nation of Ghana, examined through the lens of school architecture. I analyse processes of building schools, school buildings as products, and experiences of schooling through time and space to draw connections between educational architecture, nation-building and social class in Ghana.
