  Kojo Damptey is an interdisciplinary educator and facilitator; his area of interest is social justice with a focus on leadership theory, intercultural & international communication, anti-racism, international development studies and postcolonial studies. He approaches these disciplines from an anti-oppressive framework with a foundation in Afro-centric traditions and culture. He uses his Afro-centric traditions and culture to facilitate discussions on how media communication propagates racism in the workplace and the society and how people can be involved in anti-racism work. He also uses arts; specifically music to raise awareness on issues of human rights and equity from the perspective of a Ghanaian and African. Less
