I was recently interviewed for the World Policy Journal regarding my new book, Unequal Partners: American Foundations & Higher Education Development in Africa. and the role of American philanthropic foundations in shaping university education in sub-Saharan Africa.

Jaumont is currently the education attaché for the Embassy of France to the U.S. and a program officer at the French-American Cultural Exchange Foundation.”
