Climate Change, Gender and Migration

Recently finished the first draft of a book chapter for UNESCO, collaboratively with Emmanuel David, a post-doc researcher with PhD from CU-Boulder. Our chapter explores the intersections of literature on gender/livelihoods/migration and disaster/gender. The intent is to consider the ways climate-change related migration may be differentially experienced by men and women. It was a fascinating project -- a hard one since there's little scholarship combining these factors. Much work remains to be done.

I hope to soon undertake original research making use of a gender lens to consider migration-environment connections.
