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."

My article in World Development Symposium

Dear friends,

World Development, the leading academic journal of development studies has published an Inaugural Symposium on RCTs in Development and Poverty Alleviation

under the leadership of its editor Arun Agarwal, to recognize the work and contributions of the joint winners of the 2019 Nobel prize for Economics - Abhijit Banerjee, Esther Duflo, and Michael Kremer.

 

Interestingly, the Symposium wanted to capture diverse voices either in support of or critical of experimental approaches, but based on scholarly reasoning and evidence including reflections on one’s own empirical work.

 

I took the opportunity to submit an article that represents a practitioner-evaluator viewpoint and discusses much of the work we evaluators are passionate about. World Development received 100 abstract submissions and finally accepted 52 submissions. The Symposium is amazing in the variety of perspectives and I am happy that my ‘voice’ was heard. I learned a lot regarding getting the abstract accepted and writing for this journal. I am convinced more than ever that we, evaluators, need to make bridges with other disciplines and sectors and learn to explain our craft better.

 

The World Development Symposium has articles from prominent thinkers so please do check it out. https://www.sciencedirect.com/journal/world-development/special-iss...

Best wishes for the new year,
