Judith’s passion for the transformation power of gaining and applying knowledge has its roots in her childhood. Growing up in the west of Uganda as part of a farming family, her parents had no formal education. Yet, their passion for education planted a seed in Judith and motivated her to stop the cycle of illiteracy. Judith specialises in food security, climate change, indigenous knowledge, research translation and natural resource management, all through the application of a gender lens. She is currently researching the value-adding role of women in fish and milk value chains – a topic in which she is highly knowledgeable. Judith’s focus at the Africa Centre is to translate the vast amount of research generated by centre staff and students into practice, with an emphasis on supporting community outreach efforts.
