Political Science (International Affairs) majorChairperson of the Political Science Department, United Methodist University, Liberia
Josh Kulah ’16, a political science major, is now a chairperson of the United Methodist University’s Political Science Department. Kulah lectures courses in international affairs and contextual politics while serving as the University’s chairperson. He also works as an Associate with The Gbaintor Firm in the civil and transactional law department.
After law school in the States, Kulah transitioned back to Liberia, developing a career in international development and law by educating the younger generation at two of the Country’s top three universities.
“It took me a while to figure out my true passion. My time at Asbury affirmed that I am called to pursue a life of service in dedication to the leadership development and capacity building of young people in sub-Saharan Africa,” said Kulah.
When securing his later position as the United Methodist University’s Chairperson, Kulah discussed how Asbury’s academic impact aided in his hiring.
“My biggest selling point for getting this particular position was that I studied Political Science in undergrad,” the alum expressed. “I still thank Dr. Steve Clements every time we talk for exposing me to the styles of learning and teaching in Political Science.”
Not only has Kulah acknowledged the impact that Asbury had in his vocational achievements, but he recognizes the benefit the Institution had on his spiritual formation.
“Asbury taught me that everything I do in my professional and personal lives are related and not separate identities,” said Kulah. “I feel everyone needs an opportunity to see and live out the notion that a whole life, grounded in faith, is equally necessary as is finding a purpose in this confusing world to fulfill.”
