'“Without feeling, knowledge becomes stale. Without reason, it becomes indelicate.”

Minna Salami is a writer and social critic whose work challenges the dominance of Western ways of knowing and argues for a more embodied, plural and sensuous approach to truth. Through her feminist and decolonial perspective, she rethinks how power operates in knowledge production and how we might imagine new forms of global understanding.

Author of Sensuous Knowledge and Can Feminism Be African?, Salami weaves philosophy, culture and political thought into an accessible yet radical critique of contemporary life. A Fellow of the Club of Rome and an Open Society Foundations Ideas Workshop fellow, she has written for The Guardian, The Financial Times, The Philosopher and Project Syndicate, and speaks internationally at institutions including Yale, the European Commission and the Cambridge and Oxford Unions.
 
"In a world obsessed with metrics and fixes, Salami reminds us that African feminism can also be about resistance and world-building." — Brittle Paper
