Women’s land rights and access to land in ZambiaPhD grant awarded by the Danish Social Science Research Council Rachel Spichiger has received a grant from the Danish Social Science Research Council (Forskningsrådet for Samfund og Erhverv) to undertake a Ph.D. research project on Women’s land rights, access to land and perceptions on land tenure in Southern Africa: the case of Zambia. The project will investigate women’s strategies of access with regard to land in rural Zambia and assess the extent to which current gender imbalance in land rights can be redressed through the promotion of statutory land tenure. During her Ph.D. project, Rachel will be based within the Natural Resources and Poverty Research Unit at DIIS and will be enrolled as a Ph.D. Candidate at the Graduate School of International Development Studies (Department of Society and Globalisation) at the University of Roskilde. She will also be affiliated to the Department of Gender Studies at the University of Zambia. |
