Afrasian Interactions: Current Dynamics, Future Perspectives
(2018-06) MAKOKHA, JUSTUS KIZITO SIBOE
This conference was organized under the aegis of AFRASO, an interdisciplinary and transregional research project which comprises scholars from various disciplines at Goethe University in Frankfurt a.M. AFRASO is the acronym of AFRICA’s ASIAN OPTIONS. AFRASO started on 1st February 2013. With the support of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) the two area studies centres: ZIAF (Center for Interdisciplinary African Studies) and IZO (Interdisciplinary Centre for East Asian Studies), both based at the Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main, have organized a six-year research programme. The symposium above was part of this intinerary. It was the final conference that brought the project above to conclusion. It was co-hosted with the CoHaB IDC (The Diasporic Construction of Home and Belonging Centre of the University of Mumbai, India. The conference was hosted at the Kalinas Campus, University of Mumbai, India 26th – 27th June, 2018. A third co-organiser of the conference was the Gandhian Studies Centre at the Dr. BMN College of Home Science, Mumbai. The conference brought together a team of experts from Africa, Asia and Europe whose research work over the years demonstrates national and international scope focusing on the complexity of African-Asian interactions. Their work seen as a corpus generates new knowledge on contents, forms, and implications of interactions between African and Asian protagonists on both continents and contributes to an innovative reconceptualization of Area Studies through its transregional focus on „Afrasian spaces“. The conference was a cogent platform for me to: share my recent interests in psychocriticism as an approach to decoding aesthetic value of historiographical narratives of the Indian diaspora in East Africa. It provided me with a platform to share with a phalanx of researchers working in the same fields of Diaspora Studies and Memory Studies where my current research interests are located. My paper has been selected, among others, for publication as a journal article in a special issue of Matatu: Journal for African Culture and Society. The distinguished academic journal is published by the equally distinguished publisher, Brill, based in The Netherlands since 1683. www.brill.com. The papers from the conference have been peerreviewed through a double-blind peer review process. They are being prepared for publication in summer, 2019. This journal article publication is part of my career growth and professional maturation as a scholar of Humanities, and Literary studies.

Collaborative Curriculum Development Write-Shop
(2018) Otieno, George Ochieng
CLEAR-AA and Twende Mbele organized a consultative session to work towards producing harmonised competencies and curriculum in M&E on the African continent. To address the challenge of coherence and coordination in evaluation education on the African continent, a Collaborative Curriculum Development Project was initiated by CLEAR-Anglophone Africa, together with Twende Mbele in 2017. The First Phase involved institutions of higher learning from Kenya, South Africa, Nigeria, Uganda, Ghana and Ethiopia who came together in Accra, Ghana, to discuss harmonising the frameworks and approaches to M&E training (particularly in academic institutions) across the continent. Three Task Teams emerged from this engagement, who have been drafting the first set of documents for consultation with a broader group of stakeholders. CLEAR-AA is also building an executive short course on “building national evaluation systems”, that will be taught using a collaborative, case study approach. We are trying to build a cycle of learning between our curriculum development, and our work in the region around strengthening national evaluation systems. Part of the write-shop will include a review of content of the course for feedback that will both strengthen our conceptualisation of national evaluation systems, and make our curricularisation of the course more effective in advance for delivering in 2019
