Angela Okune points us to the work of Paulin Hountondji and his conception of ‘extroverted scientific activity’ (1990), where “scholarly work advances the theoretical needs and questions of the Western academy but does not serve the societies within which science is conducted” (Okune).
See Okune’s full bibliography of references in her PhD orals essay (and sub-essays) on "Querying Science and Technology Studies in Africa" and "STS in Africa" exhibit.
