Gender, politics and development

RC07’s original area of interest was ‘gender and development’ and we are delighted to host a panel on the gender politics of development debates and policies. We understand development debates and policies to include a vast range of topics from urban governance, city planning (including smart cities and safe cities projects) and civic rights to land rights, labour force participation, rural development and livelihoods. Papers on disaster consequences, climate change and relief will also be considered under this rubric.
