Making feminism count: integrating feminist research principles in large-scale quantitative research on violence against women and girls

Keywords

Overview

Applying a feminist approach to research on ending violence against women and girls (VAWG) is critical because gender inequality is an underlying driver of VAWG, and feminist research aims to empower women and girls, as well as challenge prevailing inequalities through the research process itself. However, feminist research approaches have not historically been applied in […]

Free access through journal website

Keywords

Overview

We suggest that PhD and post-doctoral researchers are a strong, untapped resource with the potential to make a real contribution to global health research (GHR). However, we raise some ethical, institutional, and funding issues that either discourage new researchers from entering the field or diminish their capacity to contribute. We offer a number of recommendations […]

Building synergies in development research: is it time for the Mosaic Approach?

01/11/2008

14 pages long

Free access through journal website

Keywords

Overview

Development research has responded to a number of charges over the past few decades. For example, when traditional research was accused of being ‘top-down’;, the response was participatory research, linking the ‘receptors’; to the generators of research. As participatory processes were recognised as producing limited outcomes, the demand-led agenda was born. In response to the […]

Strategies for out-scaling participatory research approaches for sustaining agricultural research impacts

01/08/2008

11 pages long

Free access through journal website

Keywords

Overview

The popularity of participatory research approaches is largely driven by the expected benefits from bridging the gap between formal agricultural science institutions and local farm communities, making agricultural research more relevant and effective. There is, however, no certainty that this approach, which has been mainly project-based, will succeed in transforming agricultural research in developing countries […]
