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."

How is (evaluative) knowledge around Gender constructed and used/utilized ...

Dear all I’m finalizing an article about the use of evaluative meta-theory to improve gender programming. I’m particularly interested in knowing:

  • How in our field (evaluative) knowledge around gender is constructed (dominating stances, methodologies etc..)
  • How constructed knowledge is then used/utilized to improve gender programming. Here I’m particularly interested in listing all major platforms (virtual or physical) globally / but also regionally ( Africa being the focus here) where Gender/Feminist Evaluation (Trainings, Evaluative Results, Fora) is discussed.

I know about virtual platforms such as https://gendereval.ning.com/ , www.feministevaluation.org or the UNWOMEN website, are there more platforms of practitioners /gender policy makers? Physical platforms /events?

The deadline for the article is this Friday, hence any hint/information would be greatly appreciated, Huge  thanks in advance

Sorry Anne for my late response I have been travelling. But I have some papers on my blog: www.khoelife.com 

In particular the one headed"the Epistemology of intersectionality" would be of use to you. Best, Yvette
