AREAS OF CONCENTRATION
2.1
My research interests revolve around farming systems and agrarian transitions, globalization,
and state, civil society relations. My dissertation, “When Labor Becomes a Problem: Distress
and Agrarian Transitions in Buyengo, Eastern Uganda”, examines the transformation of
communal labor practices and norms of reciprocity and how these transformations in turn
reshape Buyengo’s farming system. My teaching at Makerere University included course in
rural development theory and practice, organizational theory and management, human
resource management, qualitative, participatory and action research. I have received extensive
training in facilitating cross cultural adjustment, experiential learning, financial management
and budgeting, through over ten years working as Academic Director with World Learning’s SIT
Study Abroad Programs in Africa. At Cornell University I have been a teaching assistant for
introduction to sociology.
