AWARD Fellow Edna Mutua has been awarded a PhD scholarship with the University of Nairobi. Edna will be undertaking anthropological studies, examining gendered community adaptation to Rift Valley Fever and Malaria in Baringo County, Kenya. Edna’s university studies initially took a seemingly different direction, as she earned a BA in Literature and Philosophy. But ultimately, these disciplines brought her back to agriculture, and she decided to pursue an MA in Gender and Development Studies.
