Welcome Statement to the 9th Annual International Interdisciplinary Conference, Nairobi, Kenya

By Prof. Maurice N. Amutabi, PhD President, AISA Advisory Board, KESSA Co-convener

I am excited to welcome all participants to the 9th Annual International Interdisciplinary Conference. This year we have more participants in terms of number, nearing 800 and more countries are represented than last year. Our conference is growing in stature and becoming one of the most important annual academic meetings on the African continent. We are delighted to welcome such high concentration of scholars, researchers and academics to this conference. We are proud to promote mentoring of young scholars and creating presentation and publication opportunities.

Multimedia University of Kenya has become our home for the past four conferences. I wish to warmly thank Vice Chancellor Ambassador Professor Festus Kaberia, the Vice Chancellor of Multimedia University of Kenya for his kind hospitality in these remarkable conference facilities and the entire management team. We appreciate the efforts of conference co-convener Prof (Eng) Abel Mayaka, who is Dean of School of Engineering at Multimedia University of Kenya. We are delighted for the friendship and hospitality which Multimedia University of Kenya has continued to provide. As we prepare for the 10th Annual International Interdisciplinary Conference next year, we cannot back look back with pride for the accomplishments of the past 9 years.

As co-convener with Prof (Eng) Abel Mayaka, we recognize that the Joint KESSA-AISA- CEDRED-Multimedia University of Kenya Conference provides a unique opportunity for our participants to share their research findings and receive feedback. Our interdisciplinary approach for all discipline such as education, political science, sociology, history, geography, physics, 7

chemistry, engineering, botany, zoology, medicine, mathematics, computer science, biochem, social work, anthropology, philosophy, theology, allow the conference to have wide reach and appeal. The theme for 2019 conference is “Global Trends in Africa’s Development” while the theme for 2020 is “Sustainable Development” (whose subthemes are covered at the back of this program) and which will seek to address the various influences, internal and external, to Africa’s sustainbale development.

I would like to discuss why mentoring is an important undertaking for our conferences through some reminescnences. I realize that with age, one begins to reminiscence about the past a lot. I saw this in my mentors and I am beginning to do it more frequently myself on realizing that people like to read history. In 1989, I was a masters student at the University of Nairobi when I presented my first paper at an international academic conference at Jacaranda Hotel in Nairobi hosted by the Kenya American Studies Association (KASA) which was convened by one of my mentors Prof. Mwangi wa Githumo. It was a nervous moment and I was thankful when the 15 minutes were over and the next presenter took to the podium. This 9th Annual International Interdisciplinary Conference will present a similar opportunity to many young and junior scholars who will be presenting at an international conference for the first time. I received very encouraging comments from the panel during my presentation and was encouraged to attend the next conference anywhere, because of the positive feedback. We usually encourage that kind of attitude at our conferences where we encourage mentoring. We are aware that our participants are from different academic backgrounds and levels of experience and encourage senor scholars to present and chair sessions where junior scholars can learn and also be encouraged. We discourage academic bullying and negative language on junior scholars who are beginning to find their space in academia and we are happy to see many of our participants returning to our conferences year after year and we shall be recognizing some of them such as Rev. Prof. Clement Majawa, Rev. Dr. Medard Rugyendo, Prof. Tirelo Modie-Moroka, Edwin Otieno, Wilkins Ndege Muhingi, Sr Dr Justina Ndaita, Sr Prof. Momanyi, Sr Dr Lucy Achieng.

In 1992, I presented a paper on the role of the Luhya in Mau Mau at a conference organized by the Historical Association of Kenya (HAK) at Gulf Stream Hotel in Kisumu hosted by Maseno University. My presentation received great comments and questions from veteran scholars Prof. Bethwel Ogot and Prof. William Ochieng, among others except one lady in the audience whom I did not know at the time, but whom I later learnt was a lecturer at Maseno University. I later met this lady in the United States during pursuit of our PhD studies. In an African Studies Association conference in Houston, Texas, she was there at my presentation and I noticed that nothing had changed in her way of asking questions to presenters at conferences. She still had the adversarial confrontational approach to her interventions and which was archaic and meant to intimidate. I was advised by one of the senior scholars on the panel who whispered to me to ignore answering any negative questions and answer positive interventions as I had a right to choose what to respond to and ignore that which did not add value. She was very angry and told the chair that her questions had not been answered but the chair who had advised me to ignore her questions, told her that America was a democracy and one had choice to answer or not answer questions. She was visibly angry with the protection the chair gave me.

In 1994, I attended a seminar at the University of Florida, Gainesville in which a presenter took 5 minutes to present his paper, and yet he had 20 minutes. He had prepared written notes and 8

apparently because of nervousness he rushed the reading and increased his speed to a level that surprised even him as well. In 1995 we were in South Africa at an international conference when one of the respected professors rounded us up at night listen to his rehearsal of his presentation. I was just few years in scholarship at the time as a lecturer at Moi University and was surprised that a veteran professor was nervous about a conference presentation. He detained us for almost two hours as he presented his 20 minutes paper which he read as he walked around his hotel room as three of us listened. On the third attempt, he was able to read it in 20 minutes and we were all relieved because he could not focus on other things and we could not move to our hotel rooms. We realized that no one grows out of nervousness in presenting at a conference nut one can get better by not insisting on reading every word on their paper during presentation. We realized that it was better to present the paper than reading and PowerPoint has assisted in improving paper presentation and time management.

Over the years, we have the numbers to this conference going up, from 14 countries represented at our first conference to the current 35. There are three countries which are sending delegates to this conference this year for the first time, from Mauritius, Lesotho, Cameroon and Djibouti. We would like to applaud the big Kenyan contingent present at this conference followed by delegates from Nigeria, Uganda, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia, Ghana, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Denmark, Australia, Japan, Finland, Sweden, Germany, India, USA, UK, Rwanda, Togo, Turkey, Somalia, and many others. We thank all paper presenters and especially those who submitted full papers which have been published in the journals and edited volumes. Feel free to help yourself to as many copies as possible, knowing that you will be required to carry these publications to many interviews in future, and need at least two copies for each so as not to carry dog-eared publications to interviews like some people are doing now. This is advice from an elder who has been to a few dozen interviews.

The 9th Annual International Interdisciplinary Conference of 2019 is special in many ways. First, we have received abstracts from 37 countries; exceeding 35 of 2018. Second, we have received over 800 abstracts, more than the 600 we received last year. Third, the number of participants from Kenya has increased with 32 universities represented at this year’s conference. Fourth, we have exceeded the total number of full papers ever presented and the total number of people ever registered. That is why six books and several journal issues have come out of this conference.

The Conference Organizing Committee chaired by Professor Engineer Abel Mayaka, and Prof. Maurice Amutabi and our secretariat headed by Dr. Linnet Hamasi, deputized by Dr. Magdalene Ndeto Bore and other members who include Dr. Pamela Akinyi Wadende, Sr. Dr Lucy Achieng, Tony Jonanga, Kelways Chimoto, Abigael Asiko Kutwa, Alex Jackan, Alma Sikanga, Julia Enoi, Eliud Opwoche, Selly Sikanga, Betty Nambala, Noel Okoto, Jane Nambiri Ouma, Samuel Baraka, Mercy Bore and Victor Amiani are committed to providing maximum hospitality.

Tours around Nairobi have been part of our conference. The conference has organized for a tour around Nairobi to exciting and important places for which you will pay additional US50. The places which we shall visit during the excursion include Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, Giraffe Centre, Bomas (homesteads) of Kenya Centre, Stakemark Animal Park and Maasai Market.

We want to make special mention of presenters who are coming back to this conference for more than three times. These regular comers to the conference are the ones who have made this conference to grow and become a regular event in the calendar of academic activities in Africa. There are many advantages that our conference gives. We encourage mentoring and networking. We provide useful feedback in peer reviews. We are very faithful in peer reviewing and publishing papers presented at this conference and that is why the conference has become very popular. There are tens of scholars who are promoted annually because of writing chapters in our books and articles in our journals. We are very excited and humbled to play that mentoring role.

We encourage that registration begins on 26th June 2019 so that the registration does not interfere with the operations of the conference when it starts on June 27 2019. You will be provided with a conference bag and program as well as stationary – writing pad and pen. Participants will wear blue tags with their names and country, while conference organizing committee and members of conference secretariat will wear red tags. If you have any problem, feel free to stop anyone with a red tag for assistance. We have 12 breakout sessions organized in different places. You will be given direction on how to get there.

We hope that you will have exciting time in Nairobi, Kenya and we hope that you return next year with even more colleagues for the Joint Annual International Interdisciplinary Conference 2019! I wish you a delightful and stimulating conference. Have a wonderful stay in Nairobi and take back home our greetings and we look forward to seeing you next year.

Before I turn over the conference to the chairman of the first session, Prof (Eng) Abel Mayaka, I would like to ask Ambassador Prof. Festus Kaberia, Vice Chancellor of Multimedia University of Kenya, to welcome delegates to the conference on behalf of Multimedia University of Kenya, and welcome the Chief Guest, Principal Secretary for Youth Affairs in the Ministry of Public Service, Gender and Youth, Dr. Francis Owino for official opening of the conference.

First Call for Papers for the 10th International Interdisciplinary Conference, to be held in Nairobi, Kenya on June 24 to 26, 2020 at Multimedia University of Kenya

General conference theme: “Sustainable Development”

Conference Venue: Multimedia University of Kenya, Nairobi, Kenya

Sponsors: Multimedia University of Kenya, Kenya Scholars and Studies Association (KESSA), Centre for Democracy, Research and Development (CEDRED) and Multimedia University of Kenya and African Interdisciplinary Studies Association (AISA)

The world needs proper strategies to ensure sustainable development so that future generations find the world a better place to live. Global environmental changes brought about by degradation and effects of climate change, destruction of forests, increasing desertification, war and conflicts, migration and terrorism have combined to lead to clamour for sustainable development. The destruction of carbon sinks and water towers have made sustainable development more urgent given the manner in which uncontrolled exploitation of resources has led to serious effects on the globe. Why has sustainable development become critical in the world today? What are the causes of climate change and how do they affect the quality of life on earth? How have various governments and the international community responded to effects of climate change? What are some of the efforts being deployed in saving the globe against effects of climate change? What are some of the efforts being made by various academic disciplines to address this? These are some of the issues that the conference will be seeking to address.

Organized and hosted by Multimedia University of Kenya, African Interdisciplinary Studies Association (AISA) and the Centre for Democracy, Research and Development (CEDRED), this 10th International Interdisciplinary Conference will be held on June 24 to 26, 2020 at Nairobi, Kenya. The conference will bring together scholars from all over the world to make presentations on matters that touch on Africa.

Submission Guidelines for Journal of African Interdisciplinary Studies (JAIS) The Journal of African Interdisciplinary Studies (JAIS) is an online journal. The JAIS is the principal academic and scholarly journal of the Centre for Democracy, Research and Development (CEDRED) and African Interdisciplinary Studies Association (AISA). The JAIS appears monthly. Manuscripts submitted to the journal should be typed double-spaced, 12 point font (preferably Times New Roman). Submission must be in electronic version, saved as MS Word or RTF attachment (not as PDF). Articles should be between 6,000 and 7,000 words (25 to 30 pages). If copies of maps, charts and graphs are used, they should be provided in camera-ready form. For style manual, use the APA or Harvard Reference System (author - date) for bibliographic referencing, e.g.:

Members of the Abasiekwe clan of Bunyore in Western Kenya are regarded as rain makers largely because of their knowledge of reading weather and climate patterns over the years (Amutabi, 2015: 119).

Cover page: Name and institutional affiliation: Authors should indicate their full name, address (including e-mail contact, fax and telephone), their academic status and their current institutional affiliation. This should appear on a separate cover page since manuscripts will be sent out anonymously to outside readers. Manuscripts should be submitted as Word or RTF documents via e-mail attachment to either the corresponding editor [email protected] or the editor responsible for a particular edition.

Originality Articles submitted to Journal of African Interdisciplinary Studies should be original contributions and should not be under consideration by another publication at the same time. If an article is under consideration by another publication the author should inform the editor at the time of submission. Authors are entitled to 40 complementary (free) electronic off-prints in form of pdf file for either printing or distribution.

Abstract and keywords: Authors should provide an abstract of their paper (not exceeding 150 words). The abstract should state the main research problem, major findings and conclusions. Articles that do not follow this format will have their processing delayed. A maximum of six words should be given below the abstract.

Line spacing: Articles should be double-spaced excluding abstracts, notes and references). Font: Articles, including tables and illustrations, should be submitted in 12pt Times New Roman font. 88

Paragraphs: Authors should indent each new paragraph, except those immediately following a heading, which should be flush left. Do not leave blank lines between paragraphs. Mission: The mission of JAIS is to publish the highest quality articles, as well as book and film reviews in all academic disciplines that are of interest to the interdisciplinary audience of the academic world. The editors welcome manuscript submissions from scholars everywhere, whether or not they are from Africa or abroad. Each submitted article is usually sent out to panels of peer reviewers whose verdict the editors rely upon in deciding whether to accept the script for publication or not. The articles that appear in the JAIS are edited by Maurice Amutabi (Lukenya University), Linnet Hamasi (Kenyatta University), Pamela Akinyi Wadende (Kisii University) and Magdalene Ndeto Bore (Lukenya University). Book reviews are commissioned and edited by Joe Mwinzi (University of Nairobi).

The Review Process: Each manuscript received by JAIS for publication is immediately assigned a review number to facilitate tracking, and an acknowledgment is sent to the author. The editors read the article and decide whether to go forward with a peer review or to decline to consider it because it fails to meet the JAIS mission or format. If the manuscript is to be reviewed, the editors consult the frequently updated reviewer database of JAIS and AISA, to construct a unique panel of reviewers, whose expertise matches the content of the manuscript. Individuals on this panel are then invited to review the manuscript, and to return their reviews within 20 days. Once three blind peer reviews are received, the editors make a decision whether to accept, to decline the manuscript, or to invite the author to correct and resubmit it. The editors notify the author immediately, and in all cases, the reviewers’ observations are sent to the authors, with the reviewers’ personal identities masked. The revised articles are then published after satisfying remaining editorial requirements.

Manuscript Reviews: The JAIS is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The editors, while knowledgeable in African studies, cannot possibly command the entire breadth of scholarship on Africa, and so depend on a vast network of experts to evaluate manuscripts and to write substantive reviews. It is double blind because neither the reviewer nor the author knows each other’s identity. JAIS invites original, scholarly articles that discuss the education and learning of adults from different academic disciplines, perspectives and traditions. It encourages diversity in theoretical and methodological approach and submissions. All published contributions in JAIS are subjected to a rigorous peer review process based on two moments of selection: an initial editorial screening and a double-blind review by at least two anonymous referees. Clarity and conciseness of thought are crucial requirements for publication. The peer review process is the best assurance that JAIS will maintain its scholarly quality into the future.

The title page: The title page of each paper or article should include, in the following order: Title of the article; Author name(s) (preceded by first names, but with no academic titles given); Name of the institution or organization (if there is more than one author or institution, affiliations should be indicated using superscript Arabic numerals); and an address for correspondence (including the name of the corresponding author with e-mail address and fax and phone numbers).

Reference citation: Reference citations in the text and in the reference list proper should follow conventions listed in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association latest 89

edition, referred to hereinafter as the APA Manual. Provide a reference or bibliography that lists every work cited by you in the text.

Tables: Tables should be numbered. They must be cited in the text (e.g., ―As shown in Table 1). Below the table number, a brief descriptive title should be given; this should then be followed by the body of the table.

Figures: Figures should be numbered. Each figure must be cited in the text (e.g., ―As illustrated in Figure 1). As online submission requires papers to be submitted as one file, figures and tables etc should be embedded or appended to the paper and not be sent as separate files. However, upon acceptance of an article, it may be necessary for figures to be supplied separately in a form suitable for better reproduction: preferably high-resolution (300 dpi) or vector graphics files. Where this is necessary, the corresponding author will be notified by the publishers. Figures will normally be reproduced in black and white only. While it is possible to reproduce color illustrations, authors are reminded that they will be invoiced for the extra costs involved.

Scientific classification and style: Authors should follow the guidelines of the APA Manual regarding style and nomenclature. Authors should avoid using masculine generic forms in their manuscripts. Statements about groups of people should be written in gender-neutral form (See APA manual, 66-7).

Language: It is recommended that authors use American English spelling. Standard US American spelling and punctuation as given in Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary should be followed.

Proofs: Proofs of camera-ready articles will be sent to the corresponding author for errors. Changes of content or stylistic changes may only be made in exceptional cases in the proofs.

Copyright Matters: By submitting an article, the author confirms and guarantees on behalf of him-/herself and any co-authors that the manuscript has not been submitted or published elsewhere, and that he or she holds all copyright in and titles to the submitted contribution, including any figures, photographs, line drawings, plans, maps, sketches, and tables, and that the article and its contents do not infringe in any way on the rights of third parties. The author agrees, upon acceptance of the article for publication, to transfer to the publisher the exclusive right to reproduce and distribute the article and its contents, both physically and in nonphysical, electronic, or other form, in the journal to which it has been submitted and in other independent publications, with no limitations on the number of copies or on the form or the extent of distribution. These rights are transferred for the duration of copyright as defined by international law.

Online Rights for Articles appearing in JAIS: Authors of articles published in JAIS may post a copy of the final accepted manuscript for noncommercial purposes, as a word-processor, PDF, or other type of file, on their personal web page or on their employer‘s website after it has been accepted for publication. How to become an African Interdisciplinary Studies Association (AISA) peer reviewer: because JAIS is a professional organization engaged in research, dissemination and mentoring, 90

the editors of the invite individuals, whether members of African Interdisciplinary Studies Association (AISA) or not, to participate in the process of reviewing manuscripts. No remuneration is involved, but you get to participate in shaping scholarship on Africa by providing thoughtful and appropriate comments on research articles and assist editors to make accurate decisions.

Originality Articles submitted to Journal of Popular Education in Africa (JOPEA) should be original contributions and should not be under consideration by another publication at the same time. If an article is under consideration by another publication the author should inform the editor at the time of submission. Authors are entitled to 40 complementary (free) electronic off-prints in form of pdf file for either printing or distribution.

Line spacing: Articles should be double-spaced excluding abstracts, notes and references). Font: Articles, including tables and illustrations, should be submitted in 12pt Times New Roman font.

Paragraphs: Authors should indent each new paragraph, except those immediately following a heading, which should be flush left. Do not leave blank lines between paragraphs. Mission: The mission of JOPEA is to publish the highest quality articles, as well as book and film reviews in all academic disciplines that are of interest to the interdisciplinary audience of the academic world. The editors welcome manuscript submissions from scholars everywhere, whether or not they are from Africa or abroad. Each submitted article is usually sent out to panels of peer reviewers whose verdict the editors rely upon in deciding whether to accept the script for publication or not. The articles that appear in the JOPEA are edited by Maurice Amutabi (Lukenya University), Linnet Hamasi (Kenyatta University), Pamela Akinyi Wadende (Kisii University) and Magdalene Ndeto Bore (Lukenya University). Book reviews are commissioned and edited by Joe Mwinzi (University of Nairobi).

The Review Process: Each manuscript received by JOPEA for publication is immediately assigned a review number to facilitate tracking, and an acknowledgment is sent to the author. The editors read the article and decide whether to go forward with a peer review or to decline to consider it because it fails to meet the JOPEA mission or format. If the manuscript is to be reviewed, the editors consult the frequently updated reviewer database of JOPEA and AISA, to construct a unique panel of reviewers, whose expertise matches the content of the manuscript. Individuals on this panel are then invited to review the manuscript, and to return their reviews within 20 days. Once three blind peer reviews are received, the editors make a decision whether to accept, to decline the manuscript, or to invite the author to correct and resubmit it. The editors notify the author immediately, and in all cases, the reviewers’ observations are sent to the authors, with the reviewers’ personal identities masked. The revised articles are then published after satisfying remaining editorial requirements.

Manuscript Reviews: The JOPEA is a double-blind peer-reviewed journal. The editors, while knowledgeable in African studies, cannot possibly command the entire breadth of scholarship on 96

Africa, and so depend on a vast network of experts to evaluate manuscripts and to write substantive reviews. It is double blind because neither the reviewer nor the author knows each other’s identity. JOPEA invites original, scholarly articles that discuss the education and learning of adults from different academic disciplines, perspectives and traditions. It encourages diversity in theoretical and methodological approach and submissions. All published contributions in JOPEA are subjected to a rigorous peer review process based on two moments of selection: an initial editorial screening and a double-blind review by at least two anonymous referees. Clarity and conciseness of thought are crucial requirements for publication. The peer review process is the best assurance that JOPEA will maintain its scholarly quality into the future.

Reference citation: Reference citations in the text and in the reference list proper should follow conventions listed in the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association latest edition, referred to hereinafter as the APA Manual. Provide a reference or bibliography that lists every work cited by you in the text.

Language: It is recommended that authors use American English spelling. Standard US American spelling and punctuation as given in Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary should be followed.

Proofs: Proofs of camera-ready articles will be sent to the corresponding author for errors. Changes of content or stylistic changes may only be made in exceptional cases in the proofs. 97

Online Rights for Articles appearing in JOPEA: Authors of articles published in JOPEA may post a copy of the final accepted manuscript for non-commercial purposes, as a word-processor, PDF, or other type of file, on their personal web page or on their employer‘s website after it has been accepted for publication.

How to become a member of African Interdisciplinary Studies Association (AISA) peer reviewer: because AISA is a professional organization engaged in research, dissemination and mentoring, the editors of the invite individuals, whether members of African Interdisciplinary Studies Association (AISA) or not, to participate in the process of reviewing manuscripts. No remuneration is involved, but you get to participate in shaping scholarship on Africa by providing thoughtful and appropriate comments on research articles and assist editors to make accurate decisions.
