Polity Action Lab has been selected for a paper presentation for Feminist Institutionalism 20 Years On: Resistance and Resilience in Times of Gender Equality Contestation, an international conference at Uppsala University, Sweden. While this is an exciting opportunity, the trip is entirely self-funded and beyond our current means (if not our imagination!). But we have always been a little ambitious. So, we're reaching out to our partners, supporters and everyone who has believed in our work to help us take this research to an international platform.

2.5 lacs

Our research, the conference and why it matters

Our study of women’s narratives in election-bound Bengal documented how women negotiate institutions of safety, infrastructure and the gendered welfare policies of the (former) state government. Taking this research to an international platform allows us to contribute grassroots evidence to wider debates on gender, politics and institutional analysis.
