Ball State University’s Dr. Winnie Mucherah has once again earned a fellowship through the Institute of International Education (IIE) and its Carnegie African Diaspora Fellowship Program.
Mucherah, a professor of Developmental Psychology for Ball State’s Teachers College, was also selected as a Carnegie African Diaspora Fellow in 2015 and 2018. She is planning on traveling to Kenya from May 20 to August 10 to work alongside Daystar University’s Dr. Leah Komen. Mucherah’s travels will be dependent on the conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic.
While in Kenya, Mucherah will partner with Komen to host workshops to strengthen the capacity-responsive research skills of junior faculty members and students through active joint research opportunities. They’ll also mentor graduate students in writing and successfully completing theses and dissertations and preparing quality papers and proposals for conferences and publication in peer-reviewed journals.
