Douglas Kimemia, Ph.D., named VCU Globe Faculty Fellow, Black History in the Making Award Recipient

February 28, 2019

The Department of Political Science would like to congratulate our very own Douglas Kimemia, Ph.D., for being accepted as a VCU Globe Faculty Fellow through the university’s Global Education Office.

VCU Globe Faculty Fellows interact with VCU Globe staff and students as instructors of a VCU Globe seminar. These seminars are intended to develop students’ abilities to navigate cultural and personal borders, with particular reference to professional goals and plans; expose students to a wide range of individuals and groups of people, providing them direct and meaningful contact with worldviews and experiences different from their own; and foster awareness of the skills required of a global citizen within relevant professional fields.

Kimemia’s seminar will cover the Politics and Conflicts in Africa.

In addition to the Globe fellowship, Kimemia was named a recipient of VCU’s Black History in the Making Award for his initiative crafting a once-in-a-lifetime experiential learning study abroad course on African politics.

Other recipients of the Black History in the Making Award from Political Science include the following students: Alicia D. Foster, Dalvida Palmer, Maximillien Sajous, Rahel Tecle, Tori Thompson and Tamia Wallace.
