The book explores the need for universities, particularly in Africa, to foster a spirit of inclusion and conviviality in knowledge production. It critiques elitist academic practices that promote exclusion and emphasizes the importance of cross-disciplinary collaboration and diverse epistemologies. By addressing the biases in knowledge processes shaped by power dynamics and colonial legacies, it advocates for a more inclusive approach that acknowledges the value of various traditions of knowing. Convivial scholarship is presented as essential for recognizing the incompleteness inherent in individuals and academic disciplines.
