My Vision for Future Africa
I have made both practical and academic contributions that have advanced research and impacted on the society. Academically, I have churned out a total of 25 publications to date, comprising of five edited books, two single authored books, four poems published in an anthology, two CDs, six book chapters and six papers in peer reviewed journals. At the practical level, my engagement with the European Council for Refugees had a direct impact on the fate of refugee applicants, while the my research with literacy norms project directly on the livelihoods of primary school going children in east Africa. As a lead consultant in the ORELT project by the Commonwealth of Learning directly impacted on accessibility and equity in learning English in Kenyan secondary schools by making available free, and open resources for use in teaching and learning of English in poor, disadvantaged rural schools.
