Description
Summary:In the June 2022 editorial of Quaker Studies, the first published under a new editorial team, the editors conveyed our aim to disrupt the status quo. "We [hoped that] Quaker Studies [could] find ways to highlight thinking and activities from South American, African and Asian countries". So far, so one-sided - much as things have been for centuries. So we wanted to hear from and be directed by scholars working in such nations. Robert J. Wafula, Emma Condori Mamafni, Esther Mombo, Oscar Lugusa Malande and David Niyonzima here offer their responses to a series of questions. Originally, the hope was for a virtual roundtable. However, in light of feedback given after the deadline for publication passed, it became clear that people worked in different ways. This outcome, and particularly the participants' answers reveal a disconnect, especially in the tenor of conversations within the UK, and offer ways forward for the current unequal academy.
