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."

Calling Londoners: Gender and Evidence roundtable Thursday October 5th 15:30

Calling all Gender and EBPM people. On Think Tanks and the Overseas Development Institute are hosting a round-table this Thursday at 15:30 in London/UK. If you're in London, message me if you want to attend. 

We're going to be discussing the intersection of Gender & Evidence, and how evidence use is gendered. We'll also be discussing the ideal researcher which can be a gendered process!This is an opportunity to bring together two inter-connected debates that we have been having over the last few years about gendered implications of policy research, on the one hand, and the more practical aspects of the challenges and opportunities that women face in policy research institutions, or think tanks, on the other. 

ODI and On Think Tanks would like to explore these issues over a round table with interventions from researchers and practitioners with the objective of developing a research agenda to take these issues forward establishing a possible international working group on the subject.
 
For more information on the issues that we would be discussion please visit: https://onthinktanks.org/series/women-in-think-tanks/ and “Sex, knowledge and society: Is science gendered?” Hosted by Natasha Mitchell.
