Regina Minael Fupi, Lecturer of Kiswahili at The Africa Institute, Global Studies University, presented her research at the 17th Mwalimu Nyerere International Symposium, held from May 28–30, 2026 at the University of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.
She presented a paper titled “Decolonizing Knowledge, Reclaiming Futures: Indigenous Knowledge Systems, Youth Agency, and Curriculum Transformation in Tanzania.” Her research examines the role of Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) in shaping educational reform, with a focus on youth agency and curriculum development in Tanzania.
The symposium convened scholars, policymakers, and practitioners from across Africa and beyond under the theme “Geopolitics, Development, and New Visions for Africa.” Through keynote lectures, panel discussions, and collaborative sessions, participants engaged with questions of development, knowledge production, and the continent’s position within evolving global dynamics.
Fupi’s participation reflects ongoing faculty engagement in international scholarly forums and contributes to broader discussions on language, education, and knowledge production in African contexts.
Fupi teaches Kiswahili throughout the semesters as part of the African Languages and Translation Program. The program offers elementary and intermediate courses in Arabic, Hausa, Kiswahili, and Amharic for non-native speakers.
