London, 21 August, 2019 / 11:15 pm (ACI Africa).
The London-based University of St. Mary’s, Twickenham, is seeking collaboration with young scholars in Africa in a bid to enhance research that focuses on Catholic education on the African continent.
This initiative is being realized through a post-doctoral research programme whose goal “is the improvement of home-grown research capabilities in Africa in the under-explored area of Catholic education.”
In a widely-circulated letter explaining the initiative, the project manager, Dr. Christine Edwards-Leis has described the initiative as “a skills development programme delivered at St Mary’s University, London, and targeted at early career researchers from African universities.”
“As a complementary goal, we wish to foster long-lasting, mutually enhancing relationships between St. Mary’s and Catholic higher education institutions in Africa,” Dr. Edwards-Leis has explained in her letter and mentioned Porticus Africa as a partner in this research initiative.
Nairobi-based Tangaza University College (TUC) is among the African institutions of higher learning whose collaboration is being sought.
