Book launch “Gender equality in conditional cash transfer designs. A disappearing policy recipe in Latin America and the World Bank?” by Nora Nagels.
ERIGAL is pleased to announce and invite you to the book launch. “Gender equality in conditional cash transfer designs. A disappearing policy recipe in Latin America and the World Bank?” by Nora Nagels. Isabel Pike, Assistant Professor of Sociology at McGill University, will accompany the event as a commentator.
The event will take place on Friday, November 1, from 5pm to 7pm, at the “Café des habitudes”, located at 1104 Rue Saint-Zotique Est.
Nora Nagels is Professor of Development and International Cooperation in the Department of Political Science at the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQÀM). She is co-director of the Interuniversity Research Team on Inclusion and Governance in Latin America (ERIGAL). She obtained her PhD in development studies from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID) in Geneva in 2013. Her doctoral research is entitled « Genre et politiques de lutte contre la pauvreté au Pérou et en Bolivie: quels enjeux de citoyenneté? ». She completed two postdoctoral internships at the Université de Montréal. The first, funded by the Swiss National Fund for Scientific Research at the Canada Research Chair in Citizenship and Governance, focused on gender and the dissemination of conditional transfer programs in Latin America. The second, carried out at the Centre d'Études et de Recherches Internationales de l'Université de Montréal (CÉRIUM), looked at gender relations in the diffusion of a post-neoliberal development paradigm in Latin America.
Isabel Pike is an assistant professor of sociology at McGill University. Her current book project examines the politics of gender and development through the contested narrative in Kenya that “the boy child has been forgotten.” Another stream of her research examines how gender and economic status shape the life course, particularly in the realms of relationships and work.
