Almost every week, members of Tembusu College are invited to meet and chat with guests – both local and international – through a variety of hosted events. There is a huge diversity of backgrounds amongst our visitors, who range from politicians to diplomats, artists, writers, poets, and academics. Select an event category on the left to find out more.
As a Residential College, residents of Tembusu College live and learn together with their peers under the same roof. Integral to the learning is the University Town College Programme (UTCP) where residents read five Seminar-style Modules over their two year residency.

Rosalind Fredericks is Assistant Professor at New York University, where she conducts research and teaches on topics ranging from the political economy of development, global urbanism, and postcolonial identities in Africa. As an urban geographer, her primary research is an ethnography of the culture politics of garbage collection as a way to understand struggles of urban citizenship in Dakar, Senegal. She shows how attempts to govern through garbage have been met with creative ‘arts of citizenship’ through which women, labourers, and youth mobilize their politics in Dakar, which shows how urban artists and musicians have wielded important influence in national politics in one of Africa’s most important democracies.
Fredericks has co-edited two books on citizenship in Africans cities, Les Arts de la Citoyennete au Senegal, and Infrastructures ans Spaces of Belonging: The Arts of Citizenship in African Cities. Before joining NYU, she was a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University. She holds a BS from Brown University and an MS from the London School of Economics. Her PhD is in Geography from the University of California, Berkeley. She is currently writing a book titled trash Matters: Urban Infrastructures and the Arts of Citizenship in Dakar, Senegal.
