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.

Seeking help

Dear All,

I am final year PhD student at the University of Bath, England. My research topic is: How does the primary school curriculum, both implicit and explicit, influence the gendered capabilities of female pupils? It is an ethnographic case study in two schools in Northern India (Chandigarh).  I will be finishing my PhD by March 2020 and was wondering if there are any opportunities available in India, particularly in gender context.

I tried applying in general context in Indian Universities as my research area can fit into many broad categories, overarching different aspects in Social Sciences, like,  qualitative research methods etc. However, I never heard from any of these Universities. So, I decided to seek help here to find out if any of you is aware of any opportunity or guide me how and where I can apply apart from Indian Universities.

If this is inappropriate and you do not deal in this area, please ignore my message. If you do, I will be very obliged and thankful for your guidance. 

Special thanks to Rituu for suggesting to post here. 

Best Wishes,

Vandana Singh

Hi Vandana,

Hi RItu,

Thank you so much for your reply. I would prefer Development sector but I don't have any experience in it. Whereas, in the university, I'm presently teaching as an associate lecturer in education and international Development (UK University). 

Best,

Vandana
