Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to share an Afrocentric ontology for academic literacies facilitators. An ontology is a conceptual framework wherein literacies facilitators may map outcomes, assessments, with features of African epistemologies. The author theorises ontologies, academic literacies, and the Afrocentric paradigm to aid colleagues in humanising their teaching, learning, and assessment practices. The chapter concludes by advocating indigenous African epistemes as rich sources of knowledge.
