The LSE Shape the World series is an annual festival hosted by the London School of Economics and Political Science. The 2020 event will take place from 2–7 March 2020 and will explore how the social sciences can make the world a better place. The Festival will bring together global leaders, innovators, and change makers to investigate how we can learn lessons from the past, tackle the challenges of today and shape the future.
The festival will have a panel themed “Africa Talks: The Global Legacy of African Women Writers.”
The panel will feature the Ghanaian-born Margaret Busby, who was announced chair of the 2020 Booker Prize for Fiction judging panel, in conversation with the Nigerian author Sarah Ladipo Mayinka and the Kenyan publisher and Kwani Trust director Angela Wachuka.
The event would be chaired by the British cultural anthropologist and academic Professor Karin Barber.
