#CFP on Connected Learning in Contexts of #ForcedDisplacement that I am editing with colleagues from #OpenUniversity and #Makerere. Connected learning for #refugees and #IDP is essentially an approximation of #blendedlearning. All are welcome, practitioners and academics. Abstracts due 1 September so plenty of time.
In episode 3 of our #WomenInSTEM campaign, we talk to Dr. Julianne Sansa Otim, Senior Lecturer at #Makerere University and also member of the Board of the Research and Education Network of Uganda - #RENU - and of the regional network for Eastern and Southern Africa - the #UbuntuNetAlliance.
She shares her experience as a woman in STEM in #academia.
Watch the video find out how her research work has funded unique activities in #Uganda 🇺🇬
