The Sustainable Development Goals were launched in 2015 with grand
ambitions for ending poverty, protecting the planet, and ensuring
prosperity for all, with 'no one left behind'. However, these goals
will be impossible to achieve without addressing inequity,
inequality, marginalisation, and exclusion related to gender, and
to other intersecting social hierarchies linked to deeply
emotional, culturally bound norms and judgements of worth. This
book asks readers to consider issues of knowledge, power, and
effectiveness, emphasising the limits of taking a categorical
approach to gender and other social hierarchies, and the importance
of process in what is known about generating transformative social
change. Engendering Transformative Thinking and Practice in
International Development draws on a range of real world examples
which demonstrate both the limitations of the frameworks currently
in use, and the very real possibilities for change when the
intersecting social hierarchies that sustain and create inequity
and inequality are challenged. This book brings together
theoretical perspectives on social change, gender,
intersectionality, and forms of knowledge, concluding with a set of
proposals for revitalising a change agenda that recognises and
engages with intersectionality and practical wisdom. Perfect for
students and scholars of social change, gender, and development,
this book will also be useful for practitioners looking for new
ideas to help to generate social change.
