Welcome to the March edition of the IGI Gender Equality group's informal monthly research discussions. This month's topic is:
Reflecting on Gender, Peace, and Security in the Conflict in Northern Mozambique
It is our pleasure to welcome Dr Carmeliza Rosario, from the Chr. Michelson Institute, Norway,
Carmeliza Rosário is a Social and Development Anthropologist, who has also conducted research on social commentary and governance. Her main country of research is Mozambique. She has additional experience in Southern, Central, Western and Eastern Africa. Rosario has participated in a number of longitudinal research projects and consultancies on poverty, gender, rights and health. Currently she is part of a project entitled "Political determinants of sexual and reproductive health: Criminalisation, health impacts and game changers", located at the Centre for Law and Social Transformation. She has also participated in assessing the impact of development and poverty reduction policies ‘from below’, through the Reality Checks in Mozambique, for SIDA (2011-2016); evaluation of Norway's Support to Women's Rights and Gender Equality in Development Cooperation (2014); the monitoring and evaluation of local impact of Mozambiques’s poverty reduction policy PARPA for DfID (2006-2011); and evaluation of Mozambique’s policies for gender equality and women empowerment for Norad (2008-2010).
Carmeliza will speak on her work in Mozambique and her extensive experience of international gender equality research. There will be opportunity for questions and discussion after the talk.
This is an informal, 'show & tell' event for University of Birmingham researchers, students, collaborators and colleagues, and those in organisations that work with academic research on gender equality. Our aim is to encourage discussions, networking, research ideation and collaboration and sharing ideas. The meetings are held in the Institute of Global Innovations building at 54 Pritchatts Road on the University of Birmingham campus, in the main seminar room, G05. The room has hybrid capabilities and participation via Zoom is possible. Please sign up and confirm your attendance type (online or in person) by 20th March so we can order suitable refreshments.
Please note, these events are not open to the general public, but the University does run a large programme of public events throughout the year, including on gender. See UoB Events
