Astha Ramaiya Co-author Article in Journal of Adolescence

The article, led by Linnea Zimmerman examines how opportunity structures (parental influence and neighborhood context) affects individual agency among boys and girls in Kinshasa, DRC. We used longitudinal data to identify three distinct groups for boys and girls in each domain. Parental monitoring was associated with the development of both domains for boys, but showed no association for girls. Conversely, parental closeness was more strongly associated with development for girls, than for boys. Neighborhood safety was associated with greater Voice and Freedom of Movement for both boys and girls.

This looks so interesting - can't wait to read about your study when you're finished! 

All the best for it!

Hi, you may be interested in a paper co-written by myself and Alessandra Galie which develops a new concept of power which we call power through. We also talk about the fieldwork in Syria and Tanzania which led to the development of this concept, as we felt something was missing from the four classic definitions of power. We are about to start to start fieldwork in India to evidence this concept more fully.

Keep us posted on your work!

Best regards CAthy
