Ngugi wa Thion\u2019go had recently published his book <em>Weep Not Child<\/em> as part of the African Writers Series from Heinemann and <em>Things Fall Apart <\/em>was being widely read. I took 6 months traveling home from Kenya \u2013 going south through Africa including South Africa where I met Alan Paton (my mother insisted, as he had been given an honorary degree at Kenyon College where my Dad taught) and across the Pacific. Reaching East Lansing, my home, with a letter of admission to a masters program in African literature at Wisconsin, I dumped my MSU program (MAT) and left for Madison. My MA thesis was on Ngugi.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What I hope for my time at UM-Flint: <\/strong> As the world shrinks, I hope to bring the African writers and their works closer to Michigan readers. My students find the stories they read in class quite memorable. Linking similarities and differences in situations, plot, characterization, and themes helps to bring a &#8220;glocal&#8221; perspective to my courses which in the long run is the only way to break stereotypes and myths and eventually [bring] trust and harmony between people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What I hope for students in my field: <\/strong>That they gain in self-confidence and self- esteem as they read about others who are more similar than different from them. That they become life-long learners\/readers who retain their curiosity and willingness to be vulnerable by stepping outside their comfort zones at least through literature. That they can be culturally competent so that conversations are genuine and allow for good listening as well as personal sharing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Three things you should know about me:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I love to travel especially with family and friends.<\/p>\n<p>I like spending time with my 3 granddaughters.<\/p>\n<p>I like to read and go to the FIA films.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Pat Emenyonu was the Thompson Center For Learning &amp; Teaching\u2019s February 2015 Faculty Focus.
