It was such a pleasure to work with Sidy to finalize this English-version of his excellent study of Dakar's labor inspectorate. It is gratifying to put my French language skills to use working with Francophone authors who submit to Africa Spectrum.
🆕Third in our upcoming special issue, Sidy Cissokho investigates how a new generation of agents at #Dakar Labour Inspectorate mediate labour relations using expertise, impartiality, & staging after Labour Code changes reduced their sanctioning powers.
