In Naked Agency, Prof. Naminata Diabate guides us through the study of female naked protests, especially in Africa, and calls our attention to new vistas for understanding collective vulnerability and victimhood, while broadening our insights about the agency of unrobing as a powerful political act. #NaminataDiabate

One of the things I love as a producer is getting to know the culture of the place through food. In this segment, we explored the importance of ube in the food culture of the province of Bohol in the Philippines. Here’s the video:

Off course, not. Many independent struggles were geared towards freeing Africans from yokes of colonialism and improving their stands of living. With Africans at the helm of the leadership, we expected improved social, political and economic conditions for all Africans. It's a paradox that with independence, African countries have been on a downward spiral. Independent leaders turned into some form of 'semi-demi-gods' who could not stand any form of criticism. It was either their way or you eliminated. They just wore the white man's shoes, inherited colonial social, economic and political structures. They even became much brutal than the former colonizers. Primitive accumulation of wealth and suppression of anyone who questioned this became the order of the day. Quite frankly, seemingly, most ideals of the founding fathers, seems to have been good at the time of independence struggle. Once they took over the reigns of power, these ideals were abandoned and propaganda took over. Dissident voices were silenced. The trend has remained the same to date.

(Interview) This is my personal opinion as a lecturer at the School of Strategic and Global Studies (SKSG) at the University of Indonesia, expressed during a podcast titled "The Strategist," regarding boycotts. In my humble opinion, boycotts are a means of expressing opinions and support for various causes. For instance, when Bill Ackman stated that he would ensure that anyone from Harvard students involved in rallies against Israel some weeks ago would not be employed in his group of CEOs, that also constitutes a boycott. Similarly, when individuals decide not to consume products with connections to Israel, it is also a form of boycott. Such actions have led to reciprocity. In my humble perspective, from a business and economic standpoint, if a company aims to prevent a decline in demand for Israel-related products in Indonesia, it can only be mitigated if the company issues a clear statement indicating that they have temporarily severed ties. This ensures that money generated from Muslim consumers does not flow into Israel-related functions. Promotional activities, such as offering coupons, may have limited impact on price-sensitive segments but are unlikely to significantly affect the current boycott. This is because the boycott is not a movement along the demand curve phenomenon as viewed in Econ 101, but rather a shift in demand dynamics. The end result for macroeconomics may appear as a zero-sum game, where local products like fried chicken, pizza, or cosmetics continue to contribute to household consumption so to ensure at least 53% of Indonesia's GDP as it is. However, the difference lies in the potential for local products to flourish. I've been in contact with a local Indonesian CEO who mentioned strong pressure for them to start producing toothpaste - something they never produced before to substitute the "incumbent". This opinion is entirely personal and does not reflect any official views of the institute. Terimakasih Muhammad Husni Abdul Fatah for hosting the podcast. Full link:
