Social studies as pedagogy for effective citizenship

Abstract

One of the aims of an inaugural lecture is to give an academic an opportunity to share his/her scholarly activities with the academic community. My teaching and research career spans many decades at several institutions of higher education among them; the Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, United States of America (USA); former University of Ife, (now Obafemi Awolowo University) Ile-Ife, Nigeria; and currently, the University of Botswana. This lecture reflects aspects of my scholarly interventions and contributions in these contexts.
