Moi University

The Moi University Africa Multiple Research Center (Moi–ARMC) is housed within the Moi University School of Arts and Social Sciences (SASS). The School’s overriding objectives are to offer interdisciplinary teaching and research in the broad field of African studies and to act as the center where all other Africa–focused scholarship in Moi University coalesce. Within the context of these objectives, and building on the very strong tradition of exploring and interrogating diverse ways of knowing Africa that has developed in SASS in the three and a half decades of its existence, the Moi–ARMC is envisioned as a hub of outstanding inter–, multi– and transdisciplinary research and conversations that will contribute to the greater understanding of Africa in ways that enable the addressing of significant issues affecting the continent. Currently, there is an ongoing process of applying for the status of an Institute or a Centre, with Moi–ARMC as important part.
