PROFILE
I graduated First Class Honours (B.A. Philosophy) and top of my graduating class at the University of Ghana. My long essay was written under the supervision of the eminent philosopher Prof. Kwame Gyekye. I then proceeded to take my M.A. at the Legon Centre for International Affairs and Diplomacy. I earned my doctorate (Public Administration with a concentration in Policy Analysis) at Wuhan University, China. I did my post doctorate at the International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) at the University of Leiden, the Netherlands. While studying for my doctorate I took courses and was mentored by the noted theorist of the public policy process, the late Prof. Paul Sabatier, at the University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark. I had a stint working at the Ghanaian Presidency. I have worked before as an associate editor of a newspaper (and co-editor of a magazine) and columnist/writer for notable locaI and international magazines(eg. BBC Focus on Africa Magazine, and Africa Report,https://www.theafricareport.com/) and newspapers. I have worked as well as a community organizer for a project in Nima for deprived urban communities. I taught at Ashesi University as an Assistant Professor for almost a decade before moving to the University of Ghana. I am currently Senior Lecturer at the Dept. of Political Science and simultaneously founding Director of the newly established Centre for Asian Studies at the University of Ghana, Legon, as well as Acting Director of the Centre for European Studies. I consider myself a public intellectual.
