Dr. Ajume Wingo
Professor of Political Philosophy, University of Colorado, Boulder.
Associate of the W.E.B. Du Bois Institute at Harvard University.
Working with a collection of over fifty students to design an alternative
system of elections for African and Middle East nations, using education
as a primary component of this new model. A native of Cameroon,
describes his views on education and the need to educate global leaders
with a spirit of civic responsibility, “I consider politics as an alternative
to violence and anyone who chooses violence has chosen a totally
different means that has nothing to do with politics.
No, violence is not politics by another name.”
