One of the broad themes being addressed at the two-day event is how intra-household bargaining and female autonomy relate to family structures, economic crises, migration, political reservations and agricultural programmes.
Workshop attendees are mostly early and mid-career researchers chosen through a call for papers issued in 2015.
