Kenya’s Contemporary Struggles

A timely panel discussion at FIU’s Steven J. Green School of International and Public Affairs considers the wave of citizen demonstrations in Kenya and their wider significance for governance and democracy.

Kenya’s Contemporary Struggles takes place Monday, November 3, examining the political, economic and social dynamics fueling the protests and the government’s response. The conversation also situates these events within the country’s postcolonial history, highlighting how colonial legacies continue to shape inequality, state power and civic resistance. By bringing together experts on East Africa, the program offers perspective on Kenya’s current challenges and possible pathways toward greater justice and accountability.

This event is free and open to the public.
