RESEARCH, TEACHING AND MANAGEMENT EXPERIENCES  

My interest in the Political Science field aims at bridging the research, teaching and management experiences that I have so far gained through my education and work experiences. Both my Master Degrees of Education and that of Social Science have given me a theoretical and practical orientation in the social/educational and political science fields. My teaching and work experiences have further augmented my interest  in political socialisation and political participation, and this in turn have made me become more interested in the democratic processes going on in Africa and the problems that are arising from the processes.
