[PEN-L:4850] women in development programs

[Susan Fleck <SFLECK@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On the request for women in development programs.  There is v. little
semblence of one at American University now that the one professor in
the 'Women in the Economy' Program who was involved in women in development
issues has been denied tenure as of last week.
 I would not suggest AU Economics department
as one of the places to attend for WID (speaking as a PhD student in the
dept.)  However, the international development program in the School for
International Service has people who do work on WID.  Also, some space
for WID work in Johns Hopkins School for Advanced International Studies
in the Social Change and Development program, but they only take people
with development work experience already.  Another place that has an MA{
in Gender Studies is the Institute for Development STudies at the Univ.
of Sussex, in Brighton, England.  it's a 2 yr program, i think.
If I think of any others, I can let you know.  I don't know any other
economics programs at grad level that have a field or focus on gender
and development issues, whereas there may be some interdisciplinary programs
in 'development' that do have a focus on WID.
