Discussion Questions for Friday

Your homework assignment for tonight (Thursday, March 7) is to think of two questions for tomorrow's guest, Shadrack. You may not ask the same question as someone else, though you may build off of someone else's question. Post questions to comments tonight.

Danger of the Single Story

Watch this TED talk by Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche. What was something that struck you about Ms. Ngozi Adiche's lecture? What is an aspect of the single story we have of Africa that you think we, as travelers, should be especially aware of?

Kenyan Election

1. Who are the candidates? Who are the main contenders? Who is the Maasai candidate?
2. People keep referring to 2007. What happened then? Why?
3. What role does ethnicity play in Kenyan politics?
4. What is significant about the new constitution?
5. What is 'hate speech' and why are Kenyans talking about it?
6. Who do you think will win?

Karibu!

Welcome to our discussion forum. The first question will be posted on Monday.
