Narratives, theories and their impact
Watch this video of Dr Maree Pardy and Dr Francesca Bussey introducing the imperative for change in approaches to Gender and Development.
Welcome to Week 2 of Gender and Development.
Building on our learning from last week, this week we’ll focus on:
- different ways in which a single story focus may arise
- how the narrative of development has been driven by theories of economic growth
- identifying significant development initiatives and the effects of mainstreaming on change.
