Saïd Ahmed Mohamed Khamis, Professor of Literatures in African Languages, now enjoys a well-deserved retirement since March 2013. Before his appointment as professor of the then newly established and still unique in Germany Professur für Literaturen in Afrikanischen Sprachen at the University of Bayreuth in November 1997, he had taught at universities and colleges in three continents: Africa (Zanzibar, Tanzania and Eldoret, Kenya), Europe (Leipzig, Germany and Yorkshire, UK) and Asia (Osaka, Japan). On this exceptionally rich academic itinerary, Saïd Khamis must be commended for projecting literatures in African languages to new heights. Besides teaching he established himself as one of the most prolific contemporary Swahili writers. His literary works include short stories, novels, plays, poems and children’s stories. To celebrate his creative life, a symposium on “Utopia and Dystopia in Swahili Narratives” was organised in his honour in May 2012. He rounded up his official time in Bayreuth on 5th February 2013 with a talk on ‘Creative writing and linguistic knowledge’ within the African Studies Research Colloquium that recorded its highest attendance ever that day. Saïd Khamis remains a principal investigator with the Bayreuth International Graduate School of African Studies.
