Dr. Samwel Shanga Mhajida

Head of Internationalisation and Convocation Unit

I take this precious occasion to welcome all our former graduants and those who are soon completing their degree programmes from our alma mater, Dar es Salaam University College of Education (DUCE). As a unit, we always cherish the existing connections between DUCE and all who made this campus their starting journey in their education career. The unit is taking stock the fact that since 2008 DUCE has produced people in academia, politics, business and many other trades. The Unit’s role is to bring on board all alumni in the making of our unified role of strengthening the place we call home. This page is meant to connect, engage and expand our individual horizons. As a College, we are proud of every effort and determination that every single alumnus is taking towards betterment of material life. Our role is to recognise, celebrate and sometimes cheer up those who aspire to do so. Through our online platforms and connections DUCE will reach out to as many alumni as possible.

She specialises in Swahili literature and culture, with a particular interest in contemporary prose by Tanzanian women writers, women’s writing, gender in literature, and cultural and social change in East Africa.
