Three more Yale affiliates named Gates Cambridge Fellows | YaleNews
Mashuli will pursue a Ph.D. in politics and international studies. Born in Rwanda, his earliest memories are of life as a young refugee. He earned his undergraduate degree in political science at North Central College, whose board of trustees offered him a generous scholarship. While working on his master's degree at Yale, he focused his study on the events that he left behind in Rwanda: mass atrocities and their consequences. For his doctoral work, he plans to look into the experiences of a marginalized group in the African Great Lakes known as the Batwa. He will explore how colonial and neo-colonial notions of eugenics have turned the Batwa into a de-politicized group with no say in its political, economic, or social reality. He also intends to continue to be involved in providing education for marginalized communities. He is the co-founder of the Tujenge Scholars Program, a leadership institute that has sent Burundi students to prestigious institutions of higher education with the goal of having them return home to be leaders in Africa's transformation.
Since the first cohort of Gates Cambridge Scholars in 2001, more than 1,600 scholars have been selected from over 100 countries.
