Please join us for a book reading from Dr. Laurian Bowles' recently published book Headstrong, followed by a short conversation with Drs. Vanessa Castañeda and Brittany Brown. Headstrong examines how young women head porters, known as kayayei, navigate life in Accra and contributes to ongoing conversations about the gendered politics of migration, transportation, and mobility in urban spaces, with a focus on women’s im/mobility in the evolving landscape of Ghanaian cities.
