Mugambi earned her bachelor?s degree in literature from Makerere University, Uganda and her master?s and doctorate degrees from Indiana University, Bloomington. Most of her research delves into the construction of gender in African oral and written literatures, focusing on rural women?s songs and performances as well as popular radio songs in Uganda, such as in "Handcrafts, homestead exhibits and the generation of a gendered text in Mityana women's festival songs and performances" in Passages: A Chronicle of the Humanities Number 7(1994) and 'Intersections: Gender, orality, text and female space in contemporary Kiganda radio songs"(1994). Outside of teaching at CSUF, she is also a visiting professor at both UCLA and UCI.
