A Seminar on Constructing Transdisciplinary Networks: An Example from Physical and Online Libraries in Relation to Falola Studies ( Speculative)

[Oluwatoyin Adepoju]

"This seminar is a discussion on constructing transdisciplinary networks of knowledge, exemplified by an approach to the work of the polymathic scholar Toyin Falola.

It is centred on Oluwatoyin Vincent Adepoju's recent book on Falola, Imaginative Matrices and the Multifarious Universe of Knowledge: The Toyin Falola Cosmos and the Inspiration of Iya Lekuleja, the Magical Herbalist, demonstrating an approach to integrating Falola's immensely diverse publication trajectory, unifying it's  divergences through a motifs drawn from that work, in relation to resonances across African, Asian and Western thought.

This discussion is anchored in an exploration of Adepoju's physical library in Ikeja, Lagos, in it's coverage of various disciplines and cultures in the humanities and sciences, across Africa, the West and Asia, suggesting the physical component of expansive cognitive structures helpful to constructing transdisciplinary networks, in tandem with online material, towards taking full advantage of the available cognitive resources."
