The Moi University African Cluster Centre (Moi–ACC) is housed in the Moi University School of Arts and Social Sciences (SASS) whose overriding objectives are to offer interdisciplinary teaching and research in the broad field of African studies and to act as the center where all other Africa–focused scholarship in Moi University coalesce. Within the context of these objectives, and building on the very strong tradition of exploring and interrogating diverse ways of knowing Africa that has developed in SASS in the three and a half decades of its existence, the Moi–ACC is envisioned as a hub of outstanding inter–, multi– and transdiciplinary research and conversations that will contribute to the greater understanding of Africa in ways that enable the addressing of significant issues affecting the continent. The centre director is Prof. Peter Simatei (African Diasporas), assisted by the Academic Coordinator Prof. Tom Mboya, an Associate Professor of Literature. Some of the principal investigators are Prof. Eunice Kamaara (Africam Religion and Ethics) Dr. Hassan Nzovu (Islamic studies), Prof. CJ Odhiambo, (Intervention Drama), Prof. Ann Nangulu (African History) Others include Dr. Justin Sikuku (Linguistics), Dan Omanga (Media), Dr. Henry Ligulu (Law) and Prof. Paul Omondi (Geography).
