This episode is the second half of our interview with Professor Pearl Robinson of Tufts University, conducted as part of our series featuring interviews with pioneering women in political science. Pearl Robinson is a trailblazing scholar of African Politics, former president of the African Studies Association, and an advocate for amplifying voices of African descent in the academy. Anna Mwaba, assistant professor of government at Smith College, and Tumi Makgetla, senior lecturer in political studies at the University of Cape Town, continue their interview with her, diving into how she bridged policy and academic work and her leadership roles.
This episode was made in collaboration with Kate Baldwin at Yale University, supported by the Yale Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning and Flematu Fofana, and funded by the Swedish Research Council and the American Political Science Association's Comparative Politics Section.
