LSE public lecture
Dayo Olopade, Nigerian-American journalist and author, will expose the global pretensions that have stymied African development, and explore the ingenious workarounds that are driving regional progress. Olopade will share case studies in innovation, drawn from her reporting across 17 African countries—moving beyond the dire headlines and toward a realistic, constructive assessment of modern Africa.
Dayo Olopade (@madayo) is the author of 'The Bright Continent: Breaking Rules and Making change in Modern Africa'. She has been a correspondent in Washington and Nairobi, reporting for publications including 'The Atlantic', 'The Daily Beast', 'Foreign Policy', 'The New Republic', 'The New York Times' and 'The Washington Post'. She holds a BA, JD and MBA from Yale University, and is currently a Yale World Fellow.
