The SWGI leverages research, teaching, and praxis around gender at Lahore University of Management Sciences.
About us
Established in Fall 2015, the Saida Waheed Gender Initiative leverages research, teaching, and praxis related to gender at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. Foregrounding gender as a contested category of analysis and action, the Initiative approaches gender as a set of relations and processes that include women, men, and members of the third gender. The Initiative promotes interdisciplinary inquiry that is attentive to the construction and operation of gender across different spatial and temporal contexts. The Initiative facilitates such inquiry across the university’s four schools by encouraging research and resource development, supporting pedagogy in the area of gender studies, and hosting events that bring together scholars, students, and members of the broader community. By engaging LUMS in ongoing local and transnational conversations, the Initiative seeks to critically contribute to research and praxis that deepens understanding of gender as a set of relations and processes within and beyond Pakistan.

She delves into how a lack of gender disaggregated data can keep us from understanding the extent of gendered marginalisation while also making it impossible to design interventions that further any real progress when it comes to gender equality. 📖 Gender Bi-Annual | Issue 7 : July 2024 ➡️ Read article here: https://lnkd.in/d3M5sbAT

We are delighted to bring the seventh issue of the SWGI Gender Bi-annual to you. While our pieces pull the reader’s focus towards a diverse set of topics, a deeper dive reveals a common thread of rigid gendered social norms that shape and exacerbate existing inequalities. Our authors share insights from their research work shedding light on themes like casteism and marginalisation of women sweepers, norms around young women and men’s education, and how lack of gender aggregated data affects designing interventions. We also feature research work by student recipients of the SWGI Research Grant 2023-24. Happy reading! 📖 Read here: https://lnkd.in/d3M5sbAT
