Overview
The proposed program of research and policy engagement would examine when, how, and why gender inequalities are produced, reproduced, or challenged in the lives of 2,000 individuals in Ethiopia, India, Peru, and Vietnam. The research would be built into the Young Lives longitudinal study, housed at Oxford University, which has tracked 12,000 children and families since 2000; the oldest children are now about eighteen years old. The proposed research would trace gender development from early childhood through transitions to adulthood, as these young adults navigate work, marriage, education, and parenthood. Longitudinal data will be mined, recent survey data analyzed, and new, gender-focused qualitative work carried out in Ethiopia and India.

Grants to this Grantee
for the Philosophy, Law, and Politics Colloquium
A grant to Oxford University will support the Philosophy, Law, and Politics Colloquium, a new interdisciplinary colloquium series that will run three times a year for 10 years and bring together theorists from philosophy, politics, law, and beyond to discuss works-in-progress of broad interest by distinguished visiting scholars. It is the first expressly interdisciplinary colloquium series in Oxford’s 800-plus year history that focuses on issues of interest to philosophers, political theorists, and lawyers.
