Marla L. Jaksch, visiting assistant professor of women's studies, presented a research methods workshop at the "Gender, Democracy, and Development: African Feminist Struggles in the Context of Globalization" conference in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, in September. The conference, co-sponsored by a collective of women's organizations and the University of Dar es Salaam, brought together more than 500 scholars, activists, artists and rural organizers from all over Tanzania, Nigeria, Mozambique, South Africa, Europe and the U.S. to meet, reflect and strategize on the progress made in feminist struggles for gender equity and equality, social transformation and participatory democracy in Tanzania.
Jaksch contributed to the four-day workshop, "Feminist Research Methods," which highlighted the development of participatory research methods that address the specific interests and demands of marginalized groups of girls/women, taking into account the intersections of class, race, ethnicity, rural/urban divides, language and disabilities.
