Anthony Buyinza MUGEERE is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Sociology & Anthropology, School of Social Sciences, Makerere University (Uganda) and specializes in teaching and research in health, disability and climate change studies. I hold a PhD in Sociology and have conducted sociological studies on various health, environmental and climate issues, published a number of academic papers in peer reviewed journals and contributed chapters in books. Besides, I have also been part of research teams that authored several research papers and policy briefs for environment and health advocacy at national and international levels. This is all based on my earlier academic background during which I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Social Sciences (Makerere University) and a Master’s degree in Sociology. I also studied and practiced journalism during which I won local and international awards as a reporter and writer on Education and Health at the New Vision—Uganda’s leading daily newspaper. As part of my academic and policy advocacy work, I have also held various institutional placements at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and the University of Cambridge (UK), the University of Torino (Italy), the University of Gothenburg (Sweden), the University of Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), the University of Accra (Ghana) and the University of Cape Town (South Africa). I have visited over 30 countries in the past decades to participate in conferences and workshops during which I presented research papers. I am also a member of several academic and policy advocacy committees and networks in Uganda.
