Olusegun Ojewuyi, an associate professor in the department of theater at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, was named a Fellow of Theater Arts by the National Association of Nigerian Theater Practitioners. The honor is the highest professional recognition for theater arts in Nigeria.
“I have been a tireless critic and advocate for the efficacy of theater as a defining cultural expression,” Professor Ojewuyi said. “Theater not only educates, but also provides society with the compass to navigate the most compelling issues of our social and personal human dilemmas.”
