Since April 2014, I have written more than 20 papers in reputable journals and more than 10 chapters in edited, peer-rebiewed books. I have also co-edited two special issues of journals – Postcolonial Text (2021) and African and Asian Studies (2020); a volume of edited essays – Discourse and Identities: Writing and Contemporary Eastern African Peripheral Subjectivities (2019); and five anthologies of creative writing – Striding to Triumph: Poems from Kasese Secondary School (2023); I Promise This Song Is Not About Politics: A Poetry Anthology (2022); A Word or Two Before We Part: Poetry from Immaculate Heart Girls’ School-Nyakibale (2021); As I Stood Dead Before the World: Creative Writing from Luziira Prison (2018); and Fire on the Mountain: Creative Work on the Obuhikira (2018).

Besides, I have been active in the civil society, where I have served as President, Ugandan Pen (2014-2021) and Board Member, PEN International (2019-2022).

Literary studies is an area Dr Yenjela is very passionate about as evidenced in his prolific research output: articles, book chapters, workshops and conferences. In his pursuit for a PhD degree at Stellenbosch University, Yenjela was mentored by seminal scholars in literary studies to write a thesis on the fusion of novelistic representations and various histories in Kenya. It is in the area of the nexus of history and literature that Yenjela carved a research niche for himself in the scholarly world. The passion to explore new ideas and penetrate new frontiers manifests in his research output.
