📢 We are inviting applications for the position of Assistant Professor in Development Studies. We are especially interested in candidates who conduct field-based research on gender and development, China (including China's own experience of development or China's role in international development), and/or food systems and livelihoods within development. The tradition of Development Studies emphasises combined economic, social, and political factors underlying development and can complement or critique mainstream development policies. This work can typically be interdisciplinary, or based in a discipline that can engage with interdisciplinary debates about the ideas, theories, and practices of international development. The closing date for receipt of applications is 3 November 2024 (23.59 UK time). We are unable to accept any late applications. #internationaldevelopment #careers #academia

"How does the field of health and development meaningfully engage men as both victims of a gendered world and often the perpetrators of gender-based violence and obstacles to equality?" Professor Ernestina Coast (she/her) and Dr Joe Strong reflect on the 9th African Population Conference which highlighted the need for comprehensive research and nuanced engagement with men in health and development that considers men as complex, gendered individuals. The conference also suggested exploring new research avenues and interventions to better integrate the experiences and roles of men in the sector. #gender #men #health #development
