Tikam Sall
Tikam holds a research master in African Studies from Leiden University and a bachelor in Political Science from the Free University of Berlin, Germany. For her master's research she analysed the content of history and geography teaching at Senegalese high schools. Her master's thesis questions the historical and current opportunities and impediments to further decolonise history and geography education. Her thesis is available here. Since 2021 she is an external PhD student in Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam. Her research is still located in Senegal, investigating reproductive health education. She studied how social actors raise awareness about reproductive rights and gender-based violence among populations. She has also been involved as a research assistant in the HIRA action-research project at the research institute Laboratoire d'analyses des sociétés et pouvoir Afrique/Diaspora (LASPAD) at Gaston Berger University in Saint-Louis, Senegal. For this project, Tikam studied how the formal care system in Senegal provides for adolescent victims of gender-based violence. Her research interests are children and women’s right, education, reproductive health, and decolonial theories.
