The African Studies Center (ASC) sponsors conferences, lectures, exhibits, film series, and cultural performances throughout the year. These events are designed to foster understanding of Africa among members of the U-M community and the public and to advance the exchange of resources and knowledge between U-M and its partners in Africa.
In addition to our yearly programming, ASC considers funding requests to cosponsor lectures, events, performances, and activities that coincide with the our mission to promote a broad and deep understanding of the region. Request to cosponsor an event»
ASC Presentation. UMAPS Research Colloquium Series
UMAPS Scholars: Gerald Walulya, Makerere University; Moses Flomo, Cuttington University; Fitsum Andargie, Addis Ababa University
Since 2009, the U-M African Presidential Scholars (UMAPS) Program brings early career faculty from African universities to Ann Arbor for residencies generally lasting six months. While on campus, the scholars, representing a wide range of disciplines, further their research with a U-M faculty mentor.
This colloquium series is where each UMAPS fellow will present their work in a session of an ongoing monthly series which is designed to increase skills in effective communication, promote dialogue on topics, and share the UMAPS scholar’s research with the larger U-M community.
Gerald Walulya, Makerere University, Uganda: “The Press Coverage of Elections in East Africa’s One Party Dominant States: A Comparative Study (ASRI)”
Moses Flomo, Cuttington University, Liberia: “The Impact of Low Density Polyethylene (Water Sachets) on the Mechanical Property of Cement Mortar (STEM)”
Fitsum Andargie, Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia: “Accelerating Computer Vision Using Mobile GP GPUs (STEM)”
