ABOUT ME

I'm Chemutai Glasheen, a teacher and sessional academic at Curtin University in Western Australia. My fiction writing for young people is inspired by my passion for human rights and education. I've written a collection of short stories set in East Africa, which have been published in ACE: Arresting Contemporary Stories by Emerging Writers and on the Museum of Freedom and Tolerance website. I hold a PhD in creative writing from Curtin University.

  • This enticing collection of contemporary fiction is a celebration of our ubuntu: the invisible ties that bind us all together.

    From ancient forest guardians to modern cultural warriors, from grappling with age-old traditions to championing hair identity, these evocative stories explore the duality of Kenyan life and how to find a way between two cultures, both of which are yours.

    Chemutai Glasheen’s unforgettable characters are drawn from her early life in Africa with all its richness, diversity and complexity.
