We the People and the Politics of Inclusion (Annual Lecture in the Humanities)
Lecture delivered by Professor Kwame Gyekye, Emeritus Professor of Philosophy, University of Ghana and Scholar-in-Residence, Ashesi University (2010/2011). Delivered on 24 September 2013.
“The words of the preamble of constitutions are emphatic on the centrality of the status of the people in the political order that was expected to be established by these constitutions. The self-referential phrase – We the People – mandates, without a shadow of doubt, a political system that is to be an inclusive system. For, without the politics of inclusion, that self-referential phrase becomes drained of real significance. It is the politics of inclusion, as interpreted in this lecture, that will, beyond representation, give adequate effect to and practical translation of the notion of the constitutional phrase: We the People.”

The Poetry of Ephraim Amu (Ephraim Amu Memorial Lecture, #6)
Lecture delivered by Professor L.A. Boadi in May, 2004.
Dr Amu has been known for his musical compositions and experimentations in musical styles, and a lot has been written about this aspect of his work. But, apart from cursory references made by Professor Nketia and Professor Agawu about him as a poet, there hasn’t been much discussion on his Akan lyrics from the point of view of literature. Professor Boadi examines three of Amu’s poems (in Twi) in detail in this paper.
The analysis of the form and depth of meaning in each of the lines and the words used make for very interesting reading.
