Book Launch: Gender and the Global Land Grab: A Feminist Global Governance Approach
Gender and the Global Land Grab introduces a feminist conceptual framework to analyze land governance policy around the world. Andrea M. Collins shows how gender norms, biases, and expectations shape land politics at different levels of governance and the implications for women in rural communities. Drawing on examples from sub-Saharan Africa and with an in-depth case study of land politics in Tanzania, the book assesses guidelines developed by institutions such as the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Bank to highlight essential considerations for developing and implementing gender-transformative policy.
Panelists include Dr. Derek Hall (WLU), Dr. Helena Shilomboleni (UWaterloo), Rachael Vriezen (PhD Candidate, BSIA/UWaterloo), and Andrea M. Collins (UWaterloo)
