Abstract
Using a case study, this chapter illustrates how indigenous knowledge—and particularly female knowledge systems—can intersect with technology to disclose the limits of the conventional binary discourse of knowledge as either scientific or indigenous. Data here are drawn from research on legume market women in Ghana, who watched linguistically localized animated educational videos on cellphones while conducting business at their stalls. Using a framework of adult learning theory informed by feminist pedagogy, this chapter provides a multidisciplinary discussion around post-harvest loss prevention practices, specifically, but also how indigenous and scientific knowledge can interact to achieve learning.
