Professor Ann Stewart awarded £50,000 Leverhulme Research Fellowship
Ann Stewart has been awarded a Leverhulme Research Fellowship for the sum of £50,000.

The everyday practices of caring for older people particularly women, traditionally woven into communal relations, are changing in the socioeconomic and political circumstances of contemporary Kenya.

How are claims for recognition understood now in the ‘formal’ courts and within community dispute resolution practices?
