Research and program work is in rights in education in a number of countries. Human rights in development aid and Education and Globalization. The twinning of rights in education with development to unmask Africa from the shackles of imperialism. My work critically relates culture and right-capability as an anti-development genocide approach. The current niche in research is on rights in education for Africanization ofn development.
