Call for systemic transformation of Uganda in face of environmental bankruptcy, militarism and displaced stewardship
Our system produces “dispensary graduates” – hyper-specialised technicians trained in isolated disciplines. This cult of specialisation makes sense for producing cogs in an industrial machine, but it is nonsensical for solving complex socio-ecological crises.
Social media platforms promises of thundering creator economy initially feel like a big hit until careers begin tumbling overnight
For more than five years, I built a legitimate career as a digital creator and business owner on Meta’s platforms. This was not casual or accidental.

The Kenyan-Somalis personally gave the former prime minister the cash, had a chat with him, took pictures and left us behind as can be seen in the photo provided. It’s here that Raila gave us the story of his brother Agola who died after he was released from police custody.
Hurdles publishing Ugandan academics must confront as they descend from highs of ‘Alice in Wonderland’ to ordinary mortals
We propose a different, profoundly rewarding path: a shift from publishing for career development to publishing for public education. This is not a step down from academic rigor, but a step out – into a broader, more accessible and potentially more impactful arena.
Missing link: Why Uganda’s once vibrant society needs public intellectuals to bridge academia and public life
Academia produces unparalleled expertise. Peer-reviewed journals detail the nuances of climate models, the historical roots of inequality and the complexities of vaccine development. Yet, this knowledge often remains entombed in specialised jargon.
