Andy Woube

This is a picture of me and three Buddhis monks inside Wat Ouanalom, the headquarters of the Cambodian Buddhist patriarchate, located in the heart of the capital Phnom Penh.

Andy Woube is originally from Ethiopia but was raised in Uppsala, Sweden. He is currently writing a paper about the African American ethos as it pertains to the campaign of Senator and Presidential hopeful, Barack Obama. Andy's research interest on the subject of rhetoric is mainly within the field of intercultural communication. His previous papers, about Emperor Haile Selassie I's address to The League of Nations in 1936, have had to do with this topic.

This project interests Andy for many reasons; the main motive being rhetoric in combination with cross cultural communication. Moreover he identifies himself as a genuine world citizen, having lived in three continents (Europe, Africa and America), in addition to his extensive travel to many other parts of the world.

In his spare time, Andy enjoys listing to music, reading nonfiction literature on the subject of economics, history, and politics - most often containing a reference to Africa and The US. But most importantly, he loves film as well as being an extremely passionate soccer player.
