F Njahîra Wangarî - Book Chapter

Abstract
"This chapter blends African oral and written narratives, lived experiences with a genetic chronic disability and a Roman Catholic upbringing. These will be interrogated to illustrate the role of alternative explanations in influencing advocacy and activism for the lives, wellbeing, dignity and inclusion of persons with disabilities. Particularly, this chapter is an exploration of self-identity and how persons with disabilities are conditioned to view ourselves in specific ways while highlighting alternative perceptions available is presented by the author. It engages the works of several African and African-descendent authors who feature persons with disabilities as characters in their books and relies on narrative prosthesis as the basis for this engagement."

Call for papers on evidence based policy and think tanks(gender focus)

Dear all:

I am currently working at On Think Tanks ( platform that provides advice and services to think tanks and research centres) and we have partnered with the University of Bath and Universidad del Pacífico to produce a Working Papers Series. The Series is focused on the study of think tanks and evidence informed policy (see our research agenda for a more specific description). And I would like to invite all members to submit, maybe you a have a report or study that you would like to publish. Out themes are varied, but all relate to on think tanks and on evidence informed policy world-wide. I am very interested in including gender more in the publications, so if anyone has a paper or even an idea that you would like to turn into a paper please let me know.

 

 

Papers will be peer review by our panel with representatives from Bath and  Universidad del Pacífico (Perú), and there is no deadline for submissions as we will be reviewing them on an ongoing basis. We have just published the first paper of the series (links below):
