The Makerere Institute of Social Research launched its Interdisciplinary PhD in Social Studies in January, 2012. The five-year programme entails two years of coursework and three years of dissertation research and writing. Four broad themes define the program’s intellectual focus: Political Studies, Political Economy, Historical Studies, and Literary and Cultural Studies. Students specialize in one field, but take classes across all four.

MISR is pleased to announce that Dr Haydee Bangerezako and Dr Laury Ocen have been awarded the African Humanities Program Postdoctoral Fellowship by  the African Humanities Program (AHP) of the American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS).
