In this episode of Critical South, Dr Nicole Beardsworth from the University of the Witwatersrand is interviewing Professor Aili Tripp, who is a Professor of Political Science, Gender and Women’s Studies at the University of Wisconsin. Prof Tripp explains why African autocracies adopt gender reforms.
