DESCRIPTION:This panel examines how Ghanaians have imagined\, navigated\, a
 nd reshaped the wider world across two+ centuries\, using worlding as an a
 nalytic to foreground how global visions are generated from particular Wes
 t African places.   We note that Ghanaian worlding’s are often left out 
 of the global ‘world history’ picture\, as are many others.  Jennifer 
 Hart’s presentation explores Accra as a site where imperial planners\, d
 evelopment agencies\, and diasporic cultural currents projected competing 
 global ideals—from “model colony” to “capital of cool”—and sho
 ws how residents fashioned urban lives that engaged\, contested\, and rewo
 rked these shifting imaginaries. Trevor Getz’s analysis turns to late-ni
 neteenth-century Cape Coast\, where Anglophone communities avidly debated 
 global politics\, science\, religion\, and culture. Drawing on AI-assisted
  analysis of Gold Coast newspapers\, it reveals a richly textured public s
 phere in which Gold Coasters interpreted events from Liverpool to India to
  the Americas\, crafting their own sense of the world and their place with
 in it. Finally\, Tony Yeboah examines Kumase’s courtyard architecture as
  a material expression of transnational life. It traces how colonial inter
 ventions and later the remittance-funded building practices of Asante burg
 ers reshaped domestic space and social relationships\, producing built for
 ms that make visible the region’s evolving weltanschauung. Together\, th
 ese papers illuminate the diverse ways Ghanaians have worlded the world.
