A Discourse Analysis of Widow Psychosocial Experiences and their Self Identity: A Study in Social Transformation with a focus on Sustainable Development (the title of Dr John Bosco Kiingati’s PhD research), gives a summary of the competencies that describe him. Discourse analysis is in the area of Linguistics, taking care of identities as well as how persons paint frames to describe themselves and the world around them. Widows represent the epitome of women marginalization, yet honouring the significant and inescapable role of women in taking care of over 40% of households. They represent the marginalised populace of the developing world. Psychosocial experiences encompass Psychology through which individual thought processes, emotional intelligence, and behavioural determinants and interpretations, are factored. In Sociology, family relations as the microcosm of communities and the entire society, as well as ethnic issues leading to nationalism are notable. Within Sociology, Social transformation takes care of policies, provision of basic needs and human rights issues, while lobbying and advocating for individual and social wellness. It recognises the vitality of the synergy created through household economies, health, and education, as core in integral human and societal development. Sustainable development recognises the vital role played by human and non-human environment.
Respect for the eco-system, recognition of the inter-dependency between fauna and flora, the role of the human being in maximally exploiting natural resources permitting for its renewability and guarding towards jeopardizing future generations, are all key factors for survival. The above summary of who Kiingati is therefore, spreads the areas of focus wide enough to permit integral human and societal advancement.
