Season 6: A New Frontier: PhD Journeys into the Unknown

 

In this second episode, we delve into the topic of Research Mobility among African women scholars.

According to Momeni et al. (2020), academic progress is significantly influenced by international collaboration among researchers. Research mobility, defined as the ability or opportunity for researchers to move and pursue academic activities in different locations, institutions, or countries, plays a crucial role in fostering these global collaborations.

Join us on this episode of the Mawazo Ideas Podcast as we explore various forms of research mobility, the motivations behind African women pursuing PhD studies abroad, the challenges they encounter, and their strategies for overcoming these obstacles. Our discussions are enriched by application data from the Mawazo Fellowship Programme, as well as insights from our Fellows and Alumni.
