My paper for GAGE uses a capability-based theory of change to ask what kinds of livelihood interventions that worked to promote women's economic empowerment at different stages of the life course - and what we can learn from those that failed.....

Visa application is a most dehumanising, desperately tedious and unnecessarily humbling process. It is particularly discriminatory and discouraging towards citizens of countries like India. Gone are the times when people are desperate to settle in your countries. We travel, we…

Anyone who watches a well armed Israeli state massacre over 20,000 unarmed Palestinians, women, men and their children, trapped in their open air prison, with nowhere to go, and then asks us to understand both sides is worse than heartless.

@caitoz Anyone who doesn't understand both sides of the Israeli/Palestinian situation is heartless; Caitlin Johnstone is heartless. @caitoz p.s. Why are there so many extremists who can only see one side? Asking seriously; the answer could save the world. p.s. Stuff the sandwich.

While very pleased that Journal of HD and C published my critique (well-grounded, I hope) of RCTs, I am troubled by experiences of colleagues who are finding excellent articles critical of RCTs difficult to get published in mainstream economic & development studies journals.

At time like this, people in US Economics Departments wanting to make their name by testing out methodologically flawed randomized control trials to work out what makes a ‘good cop’ borders on intellectual voyeurism. Not going to give answers, ethically suspect and WHY?

Economists should be addressing structural injustices, including racism, yes. But addressing racism in the police force by nudging?? And testing it with RCTs?? The Econ profession's gotta get it's shit together. #BlackLivesMatter

So what is it about these male (but perhaps also female?) economists that makes them so obnoxious? Not their intellect since they rarely read or understand anything outside their discipline. For Women in Economics, the Hostility Is Out in the Open
