Anne Mungai is one of 59 African Diaspora scholars

Anne M. Mungai, Adelphi University was awarded a fellowship by theCarnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program to travel to South Africa to work with Stellenbosch University and Dr. Berte Van Wyk on African Perspectives in Education and collaborate on research, develop curriculum, host workshops, and develop a new course.

The Fellow will teach some Education Policy courses, will present seminars to both faculty and graduate students, and will assist in the curriculum development of a new course at BEd Hons level. The Fellow will also share research on a project in Africa that will provide new and critical insights to education in Africa.

Potential Impact: Develop and share new and innovative instructional practices with faculty and student teachers at the University, including inquiry based approaches, student centered models of instruction, differentiated instruction, and distributed counseling.

The Stellenbosch University project is one of 57 projects that will pair African Diaspora scholars with higher education institutions in Africa to collaborate on curriculum co-development, research, graduate teaching, training and mentoring activities.  Anne Mungai is one of 59 African Diaspora scholars who have been awarded fellowships to travel to Africa beginning in May 2016 to conduct a wide range of projects across disciplines, from agroforestry to e-learning modules for nursing, and from ethnomusicology to military mental health. The program has now selected and approved a total of 169 Fellows since its inception in 2013.

The Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program facilitates engagement between scholars born in Africa who are now based in the United States or Canada and scholars in Africa on mutually beneficial academic activities.  The Advisory Council selected forty-one African universities to host the Fellows, based on collaborative project proposals submitted by faculty members and administrators at the African universities, to meet specific needs at their universities. This innovative program is managed by the Institute of International Education (IIE) in collaboration with United State International University-Africa (USIU-Africa) in Nairobi, through Dr. Paul Tiyambe Zeleza, who chairs the Advisory Council, and is funded by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.

About the Fellows and Hosts

Public and private higher education institutions in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda were eligible tosubmit project requests to host a scholar for 14 to 90 days; prospective hosts were invited but not required to name a proposed scholar in their project requests. Scholars born in Africa who live in the United States or Canada and work in an accredited college or university in either of those two countries were eligible to apply to be on a roster of available candidates. IIE maintains a scholar roster to facilitate matches, according to the discipline specializations, expertise, activities and objectives described in a project request. The Fellowship for the project visit includes a daily stipend, transportation and visa funds and health insurance coverage.
