Researching AIDS, Sexuality and Gender: Case Studies of Women in Kenyan Universities

Title Page, Copyright, Dedication

RESEARCHING AIDS, SEXUALITY AND GENDER Zapf Chancery Policy on Peer-Reviewing All scholarly and academic works published by Zapf Chancery are peer-reviewed by at least two scholars in the field to which the work belongs. The purpose of peer reviewing is to get a second opinion from the community of scholarship to which the author belongs and thus add value to the work. All peer-reviewing is “blind-reviewing,” that is, the reviewer does not get to know the author, nor does the author get to know the reviewer. Peer-reviewing is done with the help of a specially designed instrument awarding numerical score on originality (40%), quality and currency of the sources cited (20%), presentation (30%), and language & Style (10%). For a work to be published a minimum cumulative score of 60 per cent on the British grading scale is required. Works falling below this score are referred back to authors for improvement and further reviewing until the desired score can be obtained. ************ Zapf Chancery Peer Reviewers (among others subject specific) Prof. Joseph Galgalo, PhD (Cantab.), Vice Chancellor and Associate Professor of Theology, St. Paul’s University, Limuru, Kenya; Prof. Esther Mombo, PhD, DD (HC), Deputy Vice Chancellor (Academics) and Associate Professor of Church History and Gender Theology, St. Paul’s University, Limuru, Kenya; Rev.
