The Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies and the Southern African Institute for Policy and Research honored the Law School’s Muna Ndulo, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of International and Comparative Law, at an August conference celebrating his influence as a legal scholar, constitutional advisor, academic leader, and expert in international law and development.
The conference, “Democracy, Law and Higher Education in Zambia,” was held in Lusaka on August 4–5 and recognized Ndulo’s contribution to the legal scholarship of Zambia with the book launch of An Intellectual Giant: Essays in Honour of Muna Ndulo.
Attendees included many faculty from the Einaudi Center’s Institute for African Development (IAD) and the University of Zambia (UNZA), a Cornell Global Hubs partner university with long-standing connections to Ndulo, IAD, and the Einaudi Center. As past director of IAD and former law school dean and professor at UNZA, Ndulo led and strengthened faculty research partnerships between the universities, cooperative events, and internships for Cornell students across twenty years.
“The University of Zambia is an incredible partner,” said Riedl. “The Einaudi Center’s internships offered through UNZA and the Southern African Institute for Policy and Research connect Cornell students and faculty to major stakeholders across Zambia—from government policy advisors, to leading NGOs, to regional and continental organizations.”
