Gender and Sexuality in East Africa
This module is designed to help learners of Swahili as a foreign language achieve Advanced Mid proficiency on the ACTFL scale. For classroom learners, it is most appropriate for students who have already studied Swahili for two or three academic years, while self-directed learners and/or those who have spent a significant amount of time in East Africa may find it useful at earlier or later stages of study.
This module combines three approaches, (1) “critical pedagogy” (the connection of language learning to wider social issues), (2) intercultural communication, and (3) a “pedagogy of inquiry,” to encourage Swahili-learners to analyze how language and culture work with regard to sexuality and gender.[1].
Jinsia na Mapenzi Afrika ya Mashariki starts from the premise that both Swahili-as-a-foreign-language (SFL) classrooms and Swahili-speaking communities in East Africa are “multisexual,”[2] that is, comprised of not only heterosexual people but also those who might be considered “queer.” It is inaccurate to talk about East African Swahili-speakers as if they are all heterosexual, and, as a matter of ethics, we should not assume that all Swahili-learners and/or the people in their lives are heterosexual. Incorporating discussions of gender and sexuality into our teaching and learning of Swahili thus opens up avenues to not only explore complex topics related to norms and ideologies in East Africa, but also to fully include all students in the project of learning about Swahili and the cultures, values, and norms of the people who speak it competently.
