Bio

Junior Brian Musenze is a PhD student at Makerere Institute of Social Research (MISR), Makerere University, Uganda. He holds a Bachelor of Philosophy from the Consolata Institute of Philosophy, Kenya, a Bachelor of Arts in Social Work and Community Development from Kyambogo University, Uganda, and an MPhil in Social Studies from Makerere University, Uganda. His interest in scholarship takes the decolonising approach, which stems from a commitment to addressing and challenging established norms and promoting critical discourses that move beyond a mere global North-South divide in understanding postcolonial Africa. Mr Musenze is currently working on the project titled “State and Society in the modern tradition: Rethinking state formation and political power in the Busoga region of Uganda”. In this project, Junior Brian critically re-examines governance and grassroots political structures, exploring the role of actors from below in state formation and how they exercise and constitute their agency. Mr. Musenze is also a part-time faculty member at Kyambogo University, where he teaches courses in Sociology and Community Development.
