Kenya: Research Ethics Bibliography
|
The IU – Moi AREP has developed an international research ethics bibliography specific to work being conducted in Kenya. The list includes publications considered particularly valuable to our partnership and we are hoping they may also be helpful for other students and researchers working in Kenya. The bibliography is maintained by our program manager, Kalli D. McBride, JD.
