I AM BECAUSE WE ARE: THE IMPERATIVE OF UTU/UBUNTU FOR TRANSFORMATIONAL SCHOLARSHIP⁠
.⁠
A FREE PUBLIC LECTURE BY: Mĩcere Gĩthae Mũgo⁠
Tuesday, Sept. 24 at 7 PM⁠
NORTH UNDERGROUND LECTURE HALL, UM⁠
.⁠
Dr. Mũgo explores why transformational scholarship should move beyond abstract theorizing. She calls for inventing sites of knowledge that promote dialogue, with a view to humanizing individuals, as well as the world at large, guided by the philosophy of Utu/Ubuntu (the essence of being human).⁠
.⁠
A poet, playwright, literary critic, and passionate human rights activist, Mĩcere Gĩthae Mũgo is Professor Emerita and former Chair of African American Studies at Syracuse University. A Kenyan by birth, Mũgo was Dean, Faculty of Arts, University of Nairobi until 1982, when a repressive government forced her into exile. Mũgo has since spent much of her career in the US as an educator and author. A prominent figure in African literature, Mũgo has published six books; co-edited eight school readers; co-authored a highly-impactful play and authored many other works. Her extensive activism has included advocacy of human rights and working in prisons in search of alternatives to crime. Dozens of awards have celebrated her importance as a poet, playwright, feminist, educator, scholar, and activist.⁠

.⁠
Dr. Mũgo will also speak as part of the Mansfield Dialogues: “Celebrating Women’s Leadership Globally, with Poetic Illustrations”⁠
Mon., Sept. 23 at Noon, UC 332⁠

Sponsored by: UM Environmental Studies Program ◊ Mansfield Center ◊ Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies ◊ African American Studies ◊ UM Faculty Development Enhancement Program

Interim Dean McNulty presents a question to a gathering of some of the College's faculty and staff - when do you consider the College to have been established?

Three* of our H&S Student Ambassadors took turns to be on the scene today to welcome and help students around the newly renovated Liberal Arts Building. Thank you!

Hi friends! We're getting excited about the start of the semester and are getting our brains revving. We like to call ourselves H&S and talk about how we're the Heart & Soul of UM. Earlier today, we came up with Hardcore Scholars. What else could the H and S stand for?
