Ulajeeddada buuggani ma aha keliya in aan wax laga qoro taariikhda Soomaaliyeed, maadaama ay jiraan aqoonyahanno badan oo tixgelin mudan ay buuggan hortiis isku taxallujiyeen taariikhda Soomaaliyeed, laakiin ulajeeddooyinka ugu weyni waa labo: in wax laga ifiyo taariikhdii hore ee Soomaaliyeed oo laga eegayo dhanka cilmi-afeedka iyo dhaqanka, iyo in si cilmiyeysan loo falanqeeyo habka ay u dhisanyihiin qabaa’ilka Soomaaliyeed iyo abtirsigooda, si loo muujiyo in ayna sax wada ahayn sida dhaqan ahaan loo arko nidaamka uu tolku u samaysanyahay.
Sida aad u arki doontid, qabiil kasta oo ka tiirsan qabaa’ilka Soomaaliyeed wuxuu ka koobanyahay dad u dhashay iyo dad aan u dhalan oo isku milmay, kuwaasoo, si looga gudbo noloshii adkayd ee miyiga, dantu ku khasabtay inay isbahaystaan, gaar ahaan Soomaalida geela dhaqata haba ugu badnaatee. Waxaan ognahay in geelu uu yahay duunyada sida aadka ah looga jecelyahay Soomaalida dhexdeeda, maxaayeeley isagaa ugu nacfi iyo adkaysiba badan xoolaha, degaanka oomanaha ah. Taasina waxay keentay in layska dhaco, laguna dagaallamo.
Sidaa darteed lagama maarmaan ayay ahayd, inta aan dawlad la helin, in qofku ku tiirsanaado tol, ha u dhasho tolkaas ama ha sheegto, si naftiisa iyo xoolihiisu ay u badbaadaan. Oraahdan caanka ah ayaan ka dheehan karnaa arrintaas “Ama buur ahaw ama buur ku tiirsanow” (yacnii, haddaadan cudud lahayn qabiil xoog leh ku tiirsanow).
Qoraaga oo soo bandhigayaa cilmibaaris uu waqti badan u huray, oo ka jawaabeysa su’aalo Soomaali badan maankooda ku wareegaaya, wuxuu qoraalkiisa si cilmiyaysan ku salalaynayaa qaybaha dhaqanka Soomaalida: afka iyo lahjadihiisa, maansada, sheekooyinka hiddaha, maahmaahda, abtirsiga, iwm.

The Boy in Crisis: Restoring the Missing Pillar of Society
A Think Tank Solutions Oriented White Paper and Transformation Toolkit
Across the world and more visibly across Africa the modern boy is standing at a dangerous crossroads. Once seen as the protector, provider, and pillar of leadership, today’s boy is increasingly lost in a society that no longer defines or develops healthy masculinity. From rising school dropouts and addiction, to absent fatherhood and moral confusion, the boy crisis has silently become one of the most urgent threats to societal stability.
Think Tank Solutions Oriented presents this powerful white paper, “The Boy in Crisis: Restoring the Missing Pillar of Society,” as both a thought leadership report and a practical intervention guide.
It exposes the root causes of the crisis - broken family systems, weak mentorship structures, reactive education, and distorted societal values and proposes a transformative framework rooted in mindset renewal, preventive action, and collective responsibility. At its core, this publication demonstrates that when the boy loses direction, the man loses purpose and when the man loses purpose, society loses balance.

Themes in Language, Education & D...
Language plays a major role in the development of societies and nations. Themes in Language, Education & Development in Kenya is a collection of fourteen scholarly articles on aspects of language and its relationship with, society, education and development in Kenya. The authors follow Morgan Dalphinis remarks that:
"... to speak a language means more than an exercise in the use of a given syntax and morphology, it implies the support of a whole culture and civilization. Moreover, it is in language that people learn, relate to each other as social animals in a material world of production, reproduction, distribution and exchange".
It is not only important to understand specific languages but to also appreciate associated structural linguistics as a means of appreciating the underlying, rich cultural aspects of those languages. In this book, authors capture the richness of language and linguistics aspects of some of Kenyan languages, namely Kiswahili, EkeGusii, Dholuo and Ateso as well as appropriated languages used in Kenya such as English and French.
Themes in Language, Education & Development in Kenya discusses aspects of language and its relationship with society, education and development in Kenya. As much as possible, the authors have anchored their arguments on relevant theoretical and conceptual frameworks with chapters written either in English or Kiswahili while the abstracts are written in a different language from that of the body of the chapter.
The book is divided into three major themes: Theoretical Linguistics and Language in Society, Language and Education, and Language and Development.
Educators, students and general readers interested in issues of language, linguistics, pedagogy and development will find great benefit from this book. In particular, students and lecturers of African linguistics, English, Kiswahili, Education and Sociology would be great beneficiaries.

Experiences of Women Students with Di...
This work is a systematic analysis of the subject of disability and society as encountered in institutions of higher learning in Kenya. Experiences of women students with disabilities in Kenyan universities demonstrates that marginalization of people with disabilities is an insidious reality in virtually all societies. Across Africa, dialogue on discrimination against individuals with disability has for a long time been silenced resulting into minimal participation and representation of this population in the political, social, cultural, and economic and development initiatives in the continent. Only a few texts have examined the question of disability and the status of people with disabilities in Africa and more so, with reference to gender and higher education. Filing this gap, this book discusses the experiences of women students with disabilities in university education in Kenya. It analyzes the challenges these women face and how they deal with those challenges. There is evidence of ableim in Kenyan higher education institutions and in the society as a whole. Individuals, government and societal institutions should work together to address ableism and promote an inclusive society.
What others say
Disability is not inability. This cutting edge text reveals that although women students with disabilities in Kenyan universities face numerous challenges, they are determined to succeed. The desire to lead a better life is the glue that gives these women the determination to challenge their subjugated positions in society. This book provides important recommendations for policy, practice and research which Kenya and other African nations can learn from to change things for the better. It is an important and timely read to be enjoyed by everyone. - Chris Atuti, Toronto, Canada.
This book brings us in touch with the lives of women, and their struggles, so as to inspire the collective need to address disability in more thought-provoking ways. Skillfully, Bathseba depicts the complexity of living with disability through her ethnographic account of twenty women students in Kenyan universities. Through this unique research and analysis, the reader comes to know that every experience of disability needs to be understood as a fully social, political, and historical, not to mention valid, way of being-in-the-world. Bathseba has produced a book that is a must read for anyone interested in exploring education as it is interwoven with the meanings of race, gender, class and disability in and through the Kenyan context - Dr. Tanya Titchkosky Associate Professor, Associate Chair, and Graduate Coordinator, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto.
This book is an outstanding sociological exploration of gender, disability and higher education in the African context. The women's stories come alive in this brilliant and sensitive interpretation of challenges and accomplishments of women students with disabilities in Kenyan universities. By giving voice to those who are rarely heard, Bathseba contributes to a comprehensive understanding of the student experience. - . Sandra Acker, Professor Emeritus, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto.
A Global Perspective on Social Class ...
A Global Perspective on Social Class and Inequality: A Public Policy Document is an extensive study of global poverty and inequality with practical examples drawn from the State of Oklahoma, USA. Herein are theories, diverse perspectives on poverty, insights into poverty’s root causes and measures for tackling the global scourge.
Poverty is multidimensional, global and national. In the USA, it is shaped by national and state politics. Globally, culprits include poor governance and an entrenched extractive global system. The latter is mediated (in part) by multilateral entities like the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and multinational business malfeasance.

Philosophy of Teachers’ Epistem...
Philosophy of Teachers’ Epistemic Beliefs for Changing Pedagogy: A Paradigm Shift to Competency-Based Education offers pedagogical insights into the paradigm shift intended by the 21st Century competency-based education. The authors, informed by both policy and research on education, argue that implementation of competency-based education requires anchoring pedagogical explorations on the epistemology of a competency-based curriculum. Research in personal epistemology reveals that teachers enact espoused epistemic beliefs in classroom pedagogical practice. Teachers must be empowered to change their pedagogical competencies by drawing their attention to their default epistemic beliefs which must be replaced by what is aligned with the epistemology of a competency-based curriculum.
The book makes the case that curriculum reforms necessarily imply pedagogical reforms. That is, pedagogy is parasitical on the epistemology of curriculum. The book exposes the underpinning epistemology of competency-based curriculum in Kenya and has gone further to derive epistemic beliefs that teachers should acquire to facilitate their efforts at reforming their pedagogy aligned to Competency-based education.
We live in a time of radical revolution where knowledge is a critical factor in all sectors of society. The education sector is charged with the responsibility of empowering learners as creators of knowledge. Learning how to learn is a key competency in adapting, utilizing and experimenting with novel conceptions of knowledge which includes changing teachers’ epistemic beliefs and attitudes.
This book is resourceful for policy-makers in teacher education, teacher educators at university and teacher training colleges, educationists, practicing classroom teachers, education researchers, school managers and readers interested in facilitating effective pedagogical change for the implementation of competency-based education.
What Others Say
“The authors of this book have competently simplified the technical aspects of CBE in such a way that the reader would readily understand the extent to which CBE is the way forward for nurturing 21st Century skills and competencies through formal education.” - Samson Okuro Gunga, Professor of Philosophy of Education, Faculty of Education, The University of Nairobi.

Scholarly Research: Writing and Publi...
Scholarly Research: Writing and Publishing into Journals and Books captures the value, process and publication of research findings. The core thesis is that conducting research is uniquely significant as it is one of the age-old means of responding to the diverse questions that face humanity. Indeed, systematic, objective, and rigorous research form the basis of most cutting-edge discoveries in the history of mankind.
Conducting research is one step in the knowledge construction enterprise; dissemination is the other. Unless research results are disseminated, their significance is considerably undermined. Dissemination ensures that claims made by a researcher are interrogated, shaped, and re-interpreted by peers which forms the basis of additional scholarly discourse and calls for further research, ad infinitum. Dissemination also ensures that research findings reach policy makers and inform policy formulation.
While findings from research can be disseminated through a number of outlets, this book focuses on academic publishing in books and journals. It describes the core principles in academic research and its reporting, guided by time-tested conventions that have evolved in the field over time.
We discuss, as a foundation, what scholarly research is and explore writing for scholarly publication in the form of journals and books. It is hoped that this work will generate intellectual conversations, amongst our research peers and beyond, especially with regard to the broad concept of epistemology in practice.
