24 Apr '13

Hey everyone, Sorry to post this again today but I just wanted to make sure people caught it. We're still looking for a couple more people interested in this area. See the message below! >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> So i'm with a start-up based at Cambridge University in the UK and we're looking to research the tech / media / digital communications scene in Kenya. We're specifically interested in how this relates to the fields of development, political/social risks, and conflict. So if anyone is interested in talking to us about these subjects please get in contact. We're ultimately looking for someone to head up a local team but for now we'd really appreciate speaking with as many people as possible! Thanks, Andrzej >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Lecturer Rating

This is a nice website <https://kenya.notinmycountry.org> though there are very valid concerns that some people - students, public, colleagues, etc may abuse the system That said, and without endorsing the stats from the site, it's sad that the worst performing lecturer is in the IT field, KU https://kenya.notinmycountry.org/individual/njoroge-harrison-department-com…
