Fostering Gender-Transformative Change in Sustainable Forest Management : A Case Study of DGM Indonesia
The DGM Indonesia (DGM-I) country project focuses on improving clarity and security of land rights for Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs), as well as improving livelihood opportunities from sustainable forests and land. In implementation since March 2017, with 63 subprojects either in implementation or completed, there are ample opportunities for detailed examination of a particular DGM-I subproject. This can offer insight into whether and how DGM projects are influencing women’s participation and leadership on the ground, and can also provide an indication of the extent to which the project may be influencing broader social and gender norms in Indonesia. In turn, this case s...
Fostering Gender-Transformative Change in Sustainable Forest Management : A Case Study of DGM Saweto Peru (English)
The DGM Saweto Peru country project focuses on supporting Indigenous peoples in selected communities in the Peruvian Amazon to improve their sustainable forest management practices. The project started its implementation in November 2015 and closed in June 2021, it has had 133 subprojects which were all completed. This case study focuses on one of those subprojects to offer insight into whether and in what way it influenced women’s participation and leadership on the ground. It could also indicate the extent to which the subproject may be influencing broader social and gender norms in Peru. It also informs the wider line of inquiry of the DGM Gender Study, which seeks to analyze the contri...
Fostering Gender-Transformative Change in Sustainable Forest Management : A Case Study of the DGM National Steering Committees
Across the DGM country projects, the National Steering Committees (NSC) play a critical role in determining priorities, guiding project implementation and making funding decisions on eligible sub grant proposals. The DGM’s ability to elevate and legitimize women’s voices and agency at a national level, and at international exchange events, has been an important contribution to the overall achievement of project results. This case study seeks to understand how NSCs serve as an important platform for supporting and advancing women’s leadership and effective participation, with possible second-level impacts on broader societal perceptions and beliefs about indigenous and local women in prominent leadership positions.

Feminist Conservation
How access to and control over marine resources in Madagascar are negotiated, and the inextricable link between equity and sustainability As marine conservation becomes an increasingly urgent issue around the world, there is an equally critical need to understand the ways different conservation interventions attend to or exacerbate social inequality. This book explores the origins of a conservation agenda in Madagascar and the consequences of its neglect of gender. Drawing on interviews, ecological and social surveys, archival research, and several years of living with fishers in Madagascar, Merrill Baker-Médard examines how access to and control over marine resources are negotiated from fishing villages to the conference rooms of international meetings. Her intersectional approach bridges conservation science, gender studies, and human geography to advance the idea that equity and sustainability are inextricably linked and that practices of reciprocity, accountability, and care are foundational to their achievement.

Leids-Haags Allegorieënlexicon
Het Leids-Haags Allegorieënlexicon toont nieuwe perspectieven op de maatschappelijke werkelijkheid met een actuele duiding van vijftig kernthema’s uit de wetenschap. De auteurs zijn de duale promovendi en hun promotores van Leiden University Dual PhD Centre The Hague. Ze worden daarbij geïnspireerd door de metafoor van de grot van Plato: Waar ben ik? Waar sta ik? Welk beeld zie ik? Hoe kan ik dat begrijpen? Er ontstaan beeldende voorstellingen van begrippen waarin op zoek wordt gegaan naar de centrale gedachten die ten grondslag liggen aan die begrippen. Zo wordt de veranderende wereld waargenomen met het besef dat we nooit kunnen weten of we de gehele werkelijkheid kunnen zien of begrij...
Being Ethical among Vezo People
Being Ethical among Vezo People analyzes environmental change in reef ecosystems of southwest Madagascar and the impacts of global fishery markets on Vezo people’s well-being. The ethnography describes fishers’ changing perceptions of the physical environment in the context of livelihood and ritual practices and discusses their shared understandings of how Vezo persons should live. Under new marine protected area regulations, each village is responsible for managing its octopus fishery with a temporal closure. Frank Muttenzer argues that locals’ willingness to improve well-being does not commit them to a conservationist ethos. To cope with resource depletion Vezo people migrate to dist...
