This conference will bring leading experts from different fields, countries, and perspectives together at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study to explore the complex roles of gender in the developing world. Academic scholarship will be interwoven with practical experience as scholars, practitioners, organizers, and political leaders engage with one another in panel sessions on health, education, shifting populations, politics, and technology and media. Discussions will investigate intersections among these topics, crossing boundaries both conceptual and geographic.

The conference will be held Thursday, March 3, 2011–Friday, March 4, 2011 at Radcliffe Gymnasium, 10 Garden Street, Radcliffe Yard, at Harvard University. Registration is required and opens in the spring.
