Diversity in Science
The Mancala Institute, led by Rosani Matoso, is a non-profit organization focused on reducing social and racial inequality through research, development, and outreach in Science and Technology (S&T). The institute aims to empower Black and Indigenous researchers by promoting training and providing support in the planning and implementation of research, development, and academic extension projects.
Projects
Racism limits the creative power of science and technology by reducing diversity in research and development environments. One of the consequences is the lack of knowledge to address the challenges Black and Indigenous communities face. In this context, the Mukengi project aims to empower Black and Indigenous researchers to conduct S&T research relevant to their communities. The researchers critically engage with scientific knowledge and social and racial issues, using applied S&T research as a key tool for transformation. Ultimately, the project aims to raise awareness, sensitize, and equip a generation of researchers to build a more just and equitable society.
