Evidence for change

 
My research provides methodological and policy-relevant evidence linking gender and development in resource-poor settings. For example: How are poverty and experience of violence against women linked, and what potential do economic programs have in mitigating risk? How can methodological improvements help capture gendered-measurement of agency, decision-making and empowerment? In seeking to answer these questions, I have collected large-scale data in over a dozen countries and published over 70 journal articles. I believe in simple analysis to shine a light on complex problems, and aim to continually reevaluate how to use evidence for social progress.
