About Gender and International Development Initiatives (GaIDI)

Welcome to Gender and International Development Initiatives’ (GaIDI) virtual community! We trust that this blog will allow its participants and readers a visual, collaborative, and interactive space. More than a decade ago the Women’s Studies Research Center (WSRC) was established by Dr. Shulamit Reinharz, to build a self-governing community of feminist scholars-women and men-who would contribute to Brandeis University’s canvas while undertaking research and initiating thoughtful cross-disciplinary projects of the highest quality. Today this has developed into a community of researchers in the areas of humanities, social sciences, and art with particular relevance to gender. For more, do visit: http://www.brandeis.edu/centers/wsrc/center.html Under WSRC’s Scholars Program umbrella, we launched the GaIDI with the idea of exploring various dimensions of Gender and International Development. Our goal is to help shape and implement activities in this International Development and Gender domain, plus networking and boosting visibility. Research, art and activism provide the base for our involvement in the so-called 'developing countries.’ Founding Convener: Brenda Gael McSweeney GaIDI blog Moderator: Rajashree Ghosh For any feedback please write to gaidi.wsrc@gmail.com
