Prof. Ferdinand Chipindi and I are excited to present our research tomorrow at the CIES Conference: Decolonizing the Portrayal of African Schools: A Critical Movie Analysis with Educators. Thank you to the educators in Zambia and Zanzibar for their collaobration! @FMchipindi
@ssishuwa Look forward to your usual insightful analyses, Countryman🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼. One term president is fine with me as long as it does not take us to the tribal BS of the last 6 years.
@ssishuwa I think the weakness of UPND is getting annoying. Some laws criminalise proposing hatred based on ethic, racial or other differences. They should have locked up someone. Kambwili was once locked up for spreading hatred towards an Asian he found driving a mazembe...
@ssishuwa Again, very well articulated. Blasted if the scourge of tribalism is to continue holding sway over our lot. I stuck out my knack and felt a very cold breeze
@NamukondaSarah@ssishuwa Presently, this protection exists as an imprecise and vaguely subjective term "academic freedom". It's enforcement is subject to the mood of the powers that be.
@NamukondaSarah@ssishuwa A very important point, @NamukondaSarah we need to enshrine the protections of academics from possible reprisals or fallout from their pursuits within our regulatory framework.
@HHichilema As we approach inauguration, I wish to implore you to seriously consider taking up the Chancellor of the University of Zambia. The institution has been on the wrong side of governance for 31 years. Please restore the mother of universities in the Repubic.
@HonMushimba Scripting of the public university in the image of capital means that we have lost autonomy over the research agenda. The criminal neglect of research and development is evident when we recollect, with very painful memory, the downward trend of the grant to the universities.
Universities, researchers & scientists; this is your time to stand up strongly, boldly & raise your hand. MoH is putting out fires. Solutions, vaccines, cures will come from u in your labs while studying this pandemic. Be relevant. Be creative. Come up with answers to this thing.
@HonMushimba@mwanawangoyi@ssishuwa @Awesomelastus Well, depends on which varsity in SA. If the varsity in SA is well capitalized & can endear itself to numerous fisal opportunities in Africa's largest economy, then a grossly under-funded institution in a comparatively smaller economy wouldn't have a prayer in the bid
