Burdens of transformational leadership with Sepiso Mwamelo

Sepiso (Seppy) Mwamelo is a Tanzanian researcher currently working for Opportunity International, where she leads agricultural finance projects across Uganda and East Africa. She completed her MSc in Africa & International Development at the University of Edinburgh, where she studied the nature of transformational leadership and burdens facing African scholarship recipients attending UK universities. In this episode, Seppy discusses the responsibility of leadership; community transformation; making peace with our limitations as researchers; bearing witness to others' pain; and the perils of being an 'insider' or local researcher.

Note: since this episode was recorded, Seppy has left Opportunity International.
