However, research about this phenomenon in Africa is rare. The objective of the study was to explore activities for community transformation by disciplinary fields in Gulu University, in northern Uganda. We sought to understand how community transformation activities manifest in disciplinary fields in Gulu University through a qualitative case study. Twelve senior faculty and three top managers constituted the sample. We collected data using in-depth interviews and documents check; and analysed thematically. Findings reveal inter- and intra disciplinary asymmetry and variation; and functional asymmetry in activities for community transformation by disciplinary fields. We conclude that the overall state of community transformation is fragile. A mutli- and inter disciplinary approach to activities for community transformation is proposed.enCommunity transformationactivitiesdisciplinary fieldsGulu UniversityUgandaArticle
