Yasir Arafat Ibrahim

BA (Ghana)
Supervised by David Sheinin and Marc Epprecht

Yasir graduated from Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology with a B.A (Honours) in History and a Minor in Sociology. In his undergrad, Yasir focused on the economic and political history of Ghana, contemporary problems in Africa, and International relations. Yasir’s thesis will examine the position and plight of Ghanaian women in the administration of PNDC under Chairman Flt. Lt. Jerry John Rawlings. It focuses on women actors in the PNDC government and the general policies and programs of the regime towards women's welfare in the country. The study argues that the PNDC regime was a participatory democratic government in practice rather than a military regime and that it was the first government to produce policies and programs to include and promote women’s welfare in Ghana.
