i hope you find Bradford University to be understanding and helpful.
Unfortunately i don't have any contacts in the university any longer, or I'd see what i could do!
My father-in-law did a PHD there - I think it was in Peace Studies.
Thanks for your quick reply..
Danke schoen
i just noticed Sarah's comment to you, below, so i followed the thread and found that you are interested in Bradford University.
I lived in Bradford for a while and had a great many friends at the university, including my father-in-law. This was a while ago now, about 15 years ago, but I know that it always had a fantastic reputation for Peace Studies and an excellent library.
Also, in one poll about the same time, Bradford was voted the 'happiest' university!! Certainly i very much enjoyed the multicultural environment there, and the fact that there were so many radical students! Also there is beautiful countryside all around, just outside Bradford itself.
If you want to know anything else about Bradford and/or the university, do ask as I might possibly be able to find out - though I don't have so many contacts in Bradford nowadays.
Blessings
Chris
thank you for your kind words and I very much share your vision.
You are certainly doing excellent work yourself!
We are a women-only organisation - only because we are about empowering women, in the belief that women have so much more they can contribute to world peace and eradication of poverty, once they are empowered to do so.
We have many women in our community from the African continent, especially Uganda, and we have just been joined by a woman from Kenya, and I have read that women's groups have made tremendous progress in Kenya over the last 40 years, and contributed much to society there, and seem well-respected for the impact they have made and continue to make. I hope this does seem to be the case. I would love to hear from any women's groups that you might know of in Kenya. A major part of our objectives is to promote regional women's groups and raise their profile, worldwide. We are also building a worldwide database of women's groups and are keen to hear from any who might wish to be included, so that women will know better where to turn for help and also to help us to identify areas of need, and exactly what help is needed and so on.
I wish you all the very best with your studies and plans.
Warmest wishes
Chris
it is a very goog choice to go to bradford university/peace studies department for graduate studies. i did a ma, and it was a great experience. people who did a phd had the same experience. but for the phd it is even more important that you have a adequate supervisor, so you have to check the teaching staff lists and their field of expertise and decide whether the departmen t is suitable for you or not.i do not know your focus but the african centre they have is great and the teaching staff exeptional. over all the programme is very international, people from all over the world do their studies there. the town itself, let it put it like that is kind of special...if you have further question, please let me know.
all the best! sarah
thanks for bein my friend wish you all the best
