This episode welcomes scholar Professor James Ogude to speak about the concept of Ubuntu - a Nguni Bantu term meaning "humanity" that is often translated to, "I am because we are" or "I am because you are". Together, we discuss how the humanities can complement scientific perspectives, and what modern cultures can learn from "banished knowledges" and Indigenous world views, particularly in relation to community and a rebalanced relationship with the Earth.
Professor James Ogude is the Director at the Centre for the Advancement of Scholarship, University of Pretoria and Director of the African Observatory for Environmental Humanities. He is currently leading a Mellon funded supra-national project involving the Universities of Ghana, Makerere, Cape Town and Pretoria and is the Principal Investigator of a University of Pretoria research project on the African philosophy of Ubuntu funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation.
