The Ufahamu Africa non-resident fellows will be engaged remotely for ten months to produce the equivalent of five single- or dual-language podcast episodes. Fellows will also be asked to join the editorial team to shape season 6 content, dissemination ideas, mashup partnerships, and other podcast production decisions.
Fellows will receive a stipend to support their internet data costs and their time spent on the fellowship of $3,500 USD. Ufahamu Africa non-resident fellows will be considered members of the production team and will be invited to attend relevant conferences (African Studies Association, Working Group on African Political Economy, others) as possible with current travel restrictions. Through these networks, fellows will have access to annual research grant competitions, online and in-person convenings, training workshops, and more.
We will invite the non-resident fellows to present their own work at our respective host universities—Cornell University and the University of California, Riverside—whether in person or virtually. This will further facilitate meeting and collaborating with faculty and students in multiple academic departments and participating in broader research-public engagement-media projects.
