For this episode, we invited Kenyan author and public intellectual Yvonne Adhiambo Owuor to talk about knowledge production, China's presence in Africa, Europe's colonial legacy, the benefits of a global omanyara, and how we can reimagine the world we live in. This episode is hosted by Daniel Kossmann, in collaboration with John Njenga Karugia and Linda Ammann Gerlach. 

The De:link // Re:link podcast explores local insights and new knowledges. We invite intellectuals from different backgrounds to engage them in conversations about new spatial configurations and local perspectives on transregional infrastructure projects. We value open conversations with our guests and understand our podcast mainly as a plattform to share our guest's perspective. The Podcast is produced by members of the research consortium "De:link // Re:link - Local perspectives on transregional (dis-)entanglements", which is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.
