Nigerian professor plays dual role in women's studies, performing art
By Sarah Davis
Omofololo Aajay (left), assistant professor of women's studies, and visiting instructor Noemi Medina lead a class discussion
Omofolab Aaji is trying to find a common thread.
Kansan staff writer
She is teaching two courses in women's studies and is a dancer. Both activities carried over from her life in Nigeria, her home country.
Ajayi, assistant professor of women's studies and of theater and film, came to the University of Kansas in 1988. She said all of her activities relate to one another in some way.
Last semester she began teaching a course in the department of women's studies called Race, Gender and Post-colonial Discourse, which took a literary approach to women's issues.
Her course this semester, Intersect of Race, Power and Identity, deals with theories in women's issues.
"We look at the controversies surrounding the construction theory and the historical and social experiences of the colonized world." Aawi said
She said students seemed to understand the material well.
it was so interesting that she took the one this semester.
Hershini Bhana, Durban, South Africa, junior, said that she took Ajaiy's course last semester and that
"We're covering such a wide geographical spread," she said. "Many students expressed surprise that so much going on that they weren't aware of."
"It helps me to understand my country a little more, as well as the African-Americans in the United States." Bhana said.
Bhana said she admired Aaji.
Whish a sorry knowledgeable lady."
said "I have a lot of respect for her.
She is also said she enjoys teaching the course.
"I find the students' response grafting," she said. "It's important because there isn't much being taught about non-Western cultures."
Ajayi also teaches a department of theater and film course called Postmodern Theory and Criticism in
Theater.
Ajai, who is also a dancer, will perform in a choreographed dance for the English Alternative Theater at the 25 at the Natural History Museum.
"It is a creative outlet for me," she said. "It's one way of expressing myself."
Ajaiyi also expressed herself when she was in Nigeria
She was and still is a member of Women in Nigeria, an organization that examines oppression and brutality against women.
"We were committed to getting rid of gender social and economic exploitation."

Now KU can afford to dream in color.
Apple introduces the Macintosh L.C.
If you thought that finding a color Macintosh' system you could afford. . . Macintosh LC is a dream
was just a dream, then the new, affordable Macintosh LC is a dream come true.
The Macintosh LC is rich in color Unlike many computers that can display only 16 colors at once, the Macintosh LC expands your palette to 256 colors. It also comes with a microphone and new sound input technology that lets you personalize your work by adding voice or other sounds.
Like every Macintosh computer, the LC is easy to set up and easy to master. And it runs thousands of available applications that all work in the same, consistent way—so once you've learned one program, you're well on your way to learning them all. The Macintosh LC even lets you share information with someone who uses a different type of computer—thanks to the versatile Apple® SuperDrive™, which can read from and write to Macintosh, MS DOS, OS 2, and Apple II floppy disks.
Take a look at the Macintosh LC and see what it gives you. Then pinch yourself. It's better than a dream—it's a Macintosh.
Low-cost color Macintosh LC's now available at the KU Bookstore.
