Professor Awesome

… wasn’t exactly right, but he made a good try!

#Uganda surprisingly has a very authentic restaurant of #Korea food (with the Spanish name of La Casita), and so after a very difficult drive we took our driver. His first attempt at eating with chopsticks …

@exjon Whoa. Hot take!

Leftists should stop trying to murder Republicans.

The hereditary stewards of the Tomb of Ssunna II were pleased to find that my wife had a Buganda name, but mine was Acholi. After some consideration, they adopted me into the Mmamba (Lungfish) clan, and gave me the name Mubiru to use in the kingdom of Buganda in #uganda . So now I am known as Professor Okot broadly in Uganda, and Professor Mubiru in Buganda. Perhaps by the end of my #fulbright I’ll have many names from the other kingdoms as well. #allwaysreal #alwaystroy

Drinking tonto (fermented banana alcohol) with the folks in Wamala Tomb in #Uganda as part of my #fulbright research. #allwaysreal #alwaystroy

Ambassador Popp, not Pope. Autocorrect!

It was a great honor to work with Ambassador William Pope, Vice Chancellor Barnabas Nawangwe, and all the other distinguished panelists at the Kajubi #fulbright lecture.

Heading out to Wamala Tombs to record some stories today — but an explanation on why ethical concerns might mean you won’t see everything. #allwaysreal #alwaystroy #fulbright #Uganda

My hot take — player death is often bad storytelling. Death of a character resets the player out of consequences. Instead, good DMs create further consequences that the players have to play through — you survive but now you owe a life debt to a former enemy. You’ve lost a limb that can only be healed by going on a difficult (but fun!) quest. You now have an irrational fear that will be triggered by the DM every time it’s inconvenient for the party but good for the story, etc. Instead of rolling up a new character, let players suffer consequences but in the process develop complicated and rich story arcs to play through.

A rollicking discussion ensues after my #fulbright talk on Global Medievalism today. When the full video goes up it will probably get me in trouble. #allwaysreal #alwaystroy Can you guess which popular literary theory I attacked?

@kigongokr7 Thank you! I’d love to hear more on your thoughts on writing.

@rsnokes Good Presentation

It was such an honor to speak at the Kajubi #Fulbright event and represent Troy University. #AllWaysReal #AlwaysTROY

A really excellent contribution to discussions of AI in education. #HigherEd #AI ncregister.com/commentaries/s…

“Education is the most powerful tool for social mobility that humanity has ever created” #AmbPopp at @Makerere for the annual Kajubi-Fulbright Lecture on education reform & student success.  @FulbrightPrgrm Scholar Prof. Richard Scott Nokes, & Dr. Mary Goretti Nakabugo @UwezoUganda also joined in celebrating the first ever Fulbright scholar from Africa, 🇺🇬 Professor William Senteza Kajubi and 🇺🇸 Senator J. William Fulbright's legacies of educational excellence and global exchange live on today!

It was an honor to be invited. Thank you, sir!

One difference about #HigherEd in #Uganda -- here during a Q&A, instead of responding to each question individually, the moderators collect questions in batches and then the speakers respond to them as a group. Anyone know of other differences in academic culture around the world?

Should there always be a giant version of me emphasizing whatever I say? Or next time should I demand an even bigger version? #allwaysreal #alwaystroy #fulbright #unfluencing

After the Kajubi #fulbright lecture, this group of high school students wanted to know how they could study at TROY! #allwaysreal #alwaystroy #uganda

@BJulius38155 It was so well received!

@rsnokes Had a lecture to facilitate, so I missed her presentation!

The Head of my Department gave a presentation at the Kyambogo STEAM conference that led to a vigorous debate. Meanwhile, I just showed up…. #HigherEd #Uganda #allwaysreal #alwaystroy #unfluencing
