The Paradox of Success and Failure
This study uses Hegelian dialectical analysis to explore why positively perceived, performance-based evaluation systems are viewed favorably by primary and secondary school leaders in the African contexts who have successfully advanced through them and, conversely, why those that are denied advancement critically view them, with both perspectives coloring certain realities from one extreme to another. The analysis shows that endorsed leaders have…
African challenges to western-centric metrics in evaluating international research collaboration
The western-centric metrics on which international evaluations of research collaboration hinge reinforce a culture of academic and epistemic dependence that sidelines African scholars and their knowledge systems. Such metrics, including bibliometric indices and citation counts, favor Global North standards and often ignore those of African epistemologies based on relational ethics and knowledge production in the community. This systemic structure…
Reimagining scholarly evaluation
The research study investigates how bibliometric evaluation systems fail to assess African scholarly productivity and introduces Ubuntu metrics as a decolonial solution for faculty promotion. The study uses African philosophy and decolonial theory as its conceptual framework to demonstrate that bibliometrics function as epistemological violence which purposely excludes African scholarship by favouring Global North citation networks and publicatio…
Reimagining Scholarly Research Evaluation in the Global South through Africana Critical Theory
Busoga states amalgamation and ethnic formation, Uganda Protectorate, 1900 to 1950
Contrary to the common perception of colonialism as an exercise of power within the context of ‘divide and rule’, this study foregrounds Ali Mazrui’s concept of ‘unite and rule’ as another fundamental aspect of British colonial policy in East Africa. Unable to implement indirect rule in the multifarious Busoga states, the British colonialists were compelled to adopt the policy of unprecedented amalgamations, thereby creating a single ethnic ident…
The Concept of Moral Integrity in Politics and its Contestations
For a long time, the concept of moral integrity in politics has been highly controversial. While many look at it from a moralist perspective demanding absolute observance of moral values and principles, some scholars, chiefly Niccolò Machiavelli and his many followers, believe that politics is typically devoid of moral considerations. Others, such as Demetris Tillyris, consider politics to be a distinct way of life with a moral yardstick distinct…
Examination of the roles and capacities of duty bearers responsible for protecting the human rights to adequate food, nutritional health and wellbeing in Ugandan children’s homes
BACKGROUND: The majority of Ugandan children face vulnerability and malnutrition. As a State Party to international human rights treaties, Uganda has legal obligations of guaranteeing the fundamental rights and the best interest of the nation's children. Despite being protected under international and national law, Uganda is not providing adequate child protection, including safeguarding children's food security. Numerous privately owned and unre…
Craft globally, blame locally
For over two decades now, Sub-Saharan Africa has been superimposed in a coercive and contradictory neo-liberal development economism agenda. According to this paradigm, markets and not states are the fundamental determinants of distributive justice and human flourishing through the promotion of economic growth that is believed to trickle down to the poor in due time. Despite the global intellectual criticism of this neo-liberal development econom…
Poverty and human rights in Africa
Although the relationship between poverty and human rights is only recently beginning to be examined it has always been dynamically intertwined. Poverty is a relative concept but its intrusion into human dignity is unmistakable. This article argues that human rights are strong tools for fighting poverty. Traditionally in Africa, poverty and wealth were communal and communality defined their existence. At the same time poverty in Africa is interre…
