Basic education and gender equality
Catalyst
The Catalyst for Education and Gender Equality is a resource for academics worldwide on issues of education, gender equality and development. Six times yearly, the Catalyst looks to bridge gaps between development education research and experience, theory and practice, by convening scholars from across the world, development practitioners, advocates, activists and – most importantly – children themselves to explore themes relevant to the realization of gender equality in education.
Issue 2, November-December 2007: Education in Emergencies and Post-Crisis Transition Countries
This issue of Catalyst offers a wide-ranging survey of Education in Emergencies and Post-Crisis Transition Countries, featuring an essay outlining the reasoning that underpins this important and emerging strain in human rights and development work. Countries discussed include Iraq, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Uganda and the Philippines. The work of Tufts University Professor Dyan Mazurana is profiled, and a selection of relevant recent resources is reviewed.
