The Department of Literature invites you to a webinar titled “UoN @50: Conversations on Kenyan Literature and our Being.” Literature has been part and parcel of the struggles for intellectual, political, social, cultural and economic freedoms and progress. It has been crucial to the shaping of our being as Kenyans who are conscious of their colonial and post-independence histories, and who peer into their futures to envision and then narrate what their national identities ought to look like. The Department of Literature at the University of Nairobi has been a key member of the larger family of literary scholarship locally, regionally and internationally.
This webinar, which is part of the UoN@50 celebrations, brings together literary scholars, writers, and enthusiasts to reflect on the past and present of story-making and story-telling in Kenya. It hopes to provoke conversations on the value we place on stories individually, in our homes, in workplaces, in the community and in the country as well as in the world.
Date: 25th November 2020

The Institute of Anthropology, Gender & African Studies (IAGAS) invites you to an international UON@50 webinar on - Anthropology Today: (Re) positioning the Discipline of Anthropology in the Global Discourse
Anthropology, because of its holistic perspective, is at the core of global discourses such as climate change, health/disease, science and technology, governance and development, among others. Unprecedented changes and great innovations (including the ever evolving digital world and spaces) have created significant impacts on human experience and behavior globally.The need to understand and deal with these complexities makes anthropology extremely relevant.
Over the years, anthropology has grown to become the “go to” discipline globally when dealing with all facets of human nature and experience.
This webinar brings together distinguished, seasoned and accomplished anthropologists to give us their perspectives on this great topic.

Sub-Saharan Africa remains so deprived today in which ethnic conflicts, civil wars or factional leadership struggles have completely destroyed the economic and political institutions. Some countries have however maintained progressive economic development albeit sluggishly. The promise of independence has not been realized. What went wrong? What is the way forward in Africa’s Development?
To address this, the Department of Political Science and Public Administration invites you to a public lecture by Kisumu County Governor, Prof. Peter Anyang’ Nyong’o on “The Global Political Economy and Africa’s Development over the Last 60 Years.”
This lecture could not have come at a better time. With the University of Nairobi celebrating its 50 years of existence, such a discussion fits well within the objectives of the University as a global centre of academic discourse.
