The Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is organizing the fifth International Conference on Family Planning to take place in Kigali, Rwanda, in November 2018. This grant supports the active engagement of youth delegates and attendees from Francophone countries in conference sessions and presentations to promote the meaningful exchange of ideas and best practices across contexts. This funding also contributes to a preconference session on the Demographic Dividend and the Family Planning Voices interactive exhibit, which allows conference attendees to share their stories of championing family planning through photos, video, and social media.

for support of the History and Political Economy Project
The History and Political Economy Project brings together a network of historically minded scholars whose research examines the ways that neoliberalism has been developed, implemented, and contested around the world. With the goal of producing historical scholarship that is strategically useful for addressing the challenges of social-political transformation in the present, the project seeks to use the tools of historical inquiry to counter rising inequality, economic dislocation, and political alienation. The project supports new research, fosters connections among scholars working in different temporal and geographic contexts, and draws lessons for contemporary efforts to challenge the hegemony of neoliberal ideas and modes of governance.
