Catholic University Education Today
To be a Catholic university today is to be catholic (universal) by engaging in conversations across disciplines and across contexts – national, cultural, social, political, religious or economic. This book represents the ideas of conversational partners from different contexts and institutions across Eastern Africa. The book calls for a process or system of sharing knowledge and resources towards advancing the intellectual progress and developmental agenda of Africa. It proposes specific ways of ensuring creative collaboration and imaginative networking among Catholic universities in the Eastern Africa (also known as the AMECEA) region.

This is a primary reason why rape is devastating to its victims, especially young wome...
