Hey there. Welcome to AfricAnnum.com, the too-clever-by-half way to say that we are spending a year in Africa. South Africa, to be exact.

The “we” are three: Jenny Hoobler, Ryan Kilpatrick and Indie, the dingo-looking dog. We’re from Chicago, but we’re here in South Africa as part of Jenny’s Fulbright award to conduct gender and workplace research at the University of Pretoria.

On the blog you’ll find general updates, observations, photos (good and bad, of animals, people, food, etc.) and other dispatches from life in the Rainbow Nation.

Questions, comments and corrections are welcome. Contact us anytime.
