African Studies Faculty
African Studies Program Faculty
Creighton is fortunate to have a wide range of distinguished Africanist scholars and affiliate faculty members who regularly engage Africa and her peoples. Faculty engagement is only broadening through growing relationships with the Global Livingston Institute (Uganda) and Hekima Jesuit University College and Hekima Institute of Peace Studies and International Relations (Kenya). Creighton faculty also teach in the Jesuit Worldwide Learning (JWL) program which offers online higher education courses in refugee camps around the world, including Kakuma Refugee camp in northwestern Kenya.
For more information on the African Studies program, please contact Dr. Ogechukwu Williams, Director of African Studies (ogechukwuwilliams@creighton.edu).
