About

Born and raised in Uganda, Janet, who goes by her middle name Nalubega, is currently a doctoral candidate studying refugees, sex and social media. She is specifically interested in how refugees, living in the United States learn about making, having and taking care of children. She is especially interested in how the issues of race, sexuality and cultural values, shape the learning process.

When not working on her research, Nalubega can be found accumulating more plants and reading for pleasure.
