◆演題：Gendering energy, representation and the political ecology of electric energy transitions in Ghana

◆要旨：A purported geopolitical shift that forecasts the continent's growing clout beckons and with it an opportunity to examine shifting patterns of sustainable energy engagement. I examine current energy trends in Ghana, a state considered one of the fastest growing economies in West Africa, from a gendered and feminist political ecology perspective. I also engage with why gendering an energy transition matters. In an era where gender mainstreaming to empower and promote sustainable development looms large the instrumentalism of energy values, access and a larger matrix of energy governance illustrates enduring gaps in policies. Consequently, I aim to deconstruct the current electric energy nexus and prospective policies anchored towards energy access to argue that a successful energy transition in Ghana necessitates not only inclusionary frameworks in terms of representation but a feminist political ecology grounded in both an Africanist and global south framework.
