EARLY CAREER WORKSHOP

Equipping Africa's Next Generation of Scholars: St. Paul's University Hosts Early Career Workshop

SPU Admin Blog 23 October 2026
St. Paul's University, through the Directorate of Research and Innovation in partnership with the Directorate of Postgraduate Studies and the Yale MacMillan Center, hosted a five-day Early Career Workshop from 19 to 23 October 2026. Under the theme "Navigating the African Academy," the programme brought together 45 early career researchers, including postgraduate students and recent PhD graduates, to build the skills needed to thrive in a changing academic landscape. The key workshop facilitators included Prof. Kyama Mugambi from Yale Macmillan Centre, Dr. Telesia Musili from the University of Nairobi, Dr. Kevin M. Ndereba, Dr. John Muhoho, Dr. Julius Kithinji, Dr. Susan Mwangi, and Dr. Ukaiko Ojiambo from St. Paul's University. The workshop was ably supported by Paul Ruto, Ruth Gatonye and Mercy Nalianya from the two Directorates.
 
Raising the African Scholarly Voice
 
At the heart of the workshop was a call to strengthen research impact and to bring African scholarship confidently onto the global stage. Guided by the conviction that "if we do not publish, African thought perishes," the sessions encouraged participants to move beyond the external gaze and set independent, rigorous research agendas of their own.
 
Masterclasses, Writing Sprints and Practical Clinics
 
The interactive programme offered a practical toolkit for every stage of an academic career:
  • Research design and methodological rigour: In discipline-based research clinics spanning Business, Theology, Health and Social Sciences, and Communication, participants presented their conceptual frameworks and received feedback from senior faculty and peers.
  • The critical literature review: Scholars moved from descriptive summary to critical engagement, applying new insights to their own manuscripts in live writing sprints.
  • Inside the editorial process: An editors' panel explained how journals handle submissions, what reviewers look for, and how to avoid desk rejection, with practical guidance on turning a thesis into publishable articles.
  • Using AI responsibly: Participants explored how AI tools can support topic refinement, literature selection and methodology, moving from apprehension to confident, critical use.
  • Securing research funding: A hands-on grant clinic walked scholars through the logic of grant writing as they developed concept notes for real funding opportunities.
 
Building a Sustainable Mentoring Network
 
Beyond technical skills, the workshop connected emerging researchers with experienced academics and journal editors. By opening up the often unseen work behind scholarly success, St. Paul's University and its partners are building a lasting mentoring community, one that prepares African scholars not only to take part in global research conversations, but to lead them.
