Panel 3: Globalisation and African mode of Revisiting Traditional ‘Science’ (Adebisi Ademakinwa)

Panel Organiser: Adebisi Ademakinwa

The panel’s objective is to determine African sciences’ relevance in healing methods and the importance of oral incantations. With experts, one arrives at the sciences’ methodologies and theoretical base. Though, some aspects are shrouded in legend, the panel makes it possible to sieve fact from myth within these sciences.
