Kenya's constitutional commitments to gender equality, the two-thirds gender rule debate and the active civil society sector focused on women's rights create a robust context for doctoral research in this field. The programme addresses the need for evidence-based scholarship to inform policy on gender-based violence, women's economic empowerment, political participation and access to education. Teaching is delivered through seminars, supervised research and independent study. Students present their research at departmental seminars, attend conferences and engage with organisations working on gender issues. The programme is offered full-time at the main campus of the University of Nairobi. Graduates pursue careers as university professors, gender researchers, policy analysts, programme directors in NGOs and advisors to government ministries. They work in academia, development agencies, women's rights organisations and international bodies such as UN Women and the African Union. The programme is ideal for individuals passionate about gender equity and social justice who wish to contribute original research to African feminist scholarship and influence policy on women's empowerment.
