BIOGRAPHY
Rather than anchoring himself in a narrowly defined disciplinary location, Dr. Lulat is by training and
by research inclination a social scientist—in the sense that his entire academic career
(education, research and teaching) has been, and continues to be, fundamentally
multidisciplinary—as attested by the
principal area to which most of his work belongs: Africana Studies (which comprises both African Studies and studies of the African
Diaspora throughout the world). It is not without
reason that in addition to his doctorate, he holds three masters degrees and a
postgraduate certificate across several disciplines. Moreover, his educational career spans universities
in four countries on three continents. His work, therefore,
comes out of a pioneering and now well-established scholarly tradition of
multidisciplinary research that has been the hallmark of Africana Studies. In keeping with one of his mantras that "the present is always historical," Dr Lulat's current research focus is the political economy of world history from an African perspective that seeks to locate Africa's place in that history.
