One Year in Africa

As of the day after tomorrow I will have been in Ghana for one year with the exception of one month in July and early August where I went back to Kyrgyzstan. During this year I have taught nearly 300 African students. I have also had two publications, one peer reviewed journal article and one book chapter, dealing with Africa in a comparative manner accepted for publication. I still have to revise the book chapter before submitting the final version in February. I think I have adjusted fairly well for somebody who knew almost nothing about Africa a year ago.
