Much of her scholarship, for instance, is dedicated to advancing the notion that the cruel practice of female genital mutilation (FGM) is actually a triumph for feminism and that it is hateful to suggest otherwise. According to Njambi "anti-FGM discourse perpetuates a colonialist assumption by universalizing a particular western image of a 'normal' body and sexuality." Not confined to her academic writings, such claims form the basis of her teaching at FAU. In the spring of 2006, for instance, Njambi co-taught, with her husband, William O'Brien, an Assistant Professor of Environmental Studies, a class called "Meanings of Nature."
