Kenyan English: Domains of Use, Forms, and Users' Attitudes focuses
on the unique issues that concern language researchers in Kenya and
elsewhere. Edited by Martha M. Michieka and Evans Gesura Mecha, the
collection examines the English language forms and usages to
describe the reality of Kenyan English use. The contributors
address questions such as: What are the characteristics that
distinguish Kenyan English from other national varieties? How is
English taught, and what impact does that kind of teaching have on
learner proficiency? What is the place of English in mass media, in
politics, in the churches, and in multilingual homes? The
contributors, all experienced language practitioners based in Kenya
or currently conducting language-related research in Kenya, bring
fresh perspectives to the topic at hand and give readers a glance
into contexts that have not yet been addressed in this way. They
highlight the sociolinguistic reality of the English language in
present-day Kenya and raise questions that will prompt further
research.

Gender and Education in Kenya explores the intersections of
curriculum, pedagogy, policy, and gender. The contributors study
depictions of gender in textbooks, the presence and roles of girls
and women within classrooms in Kenya, and female leadership in
education, arguing that, despite recent policies put in place by
the Kenyan government to ensure gender parity in education, there
is still a need to make curriculum more gender responsive. Gender
and Education in Kenya examines the disparity between male and
female representation in education and advocate for more training
for teachers about gender-related educational policies and
implementing gender-responsive objectives in classrooms. The
collection concludes with a study of the intersection of gender and
disability with a chapter that explores the additional challenges
for a blind girl in school and the lack of policies in place to
help disabled students.
