Objectives
  • To build a comprehensive picture of variation in such group-based inequalities sub-nationally and diachronically for selected developing countries.
  • To encourage research by early-career scholars from these countries and regions.

Successful applicants will be asked to attend a workshop where work in progress will be presented to other contracted researchers, providing opportunities for exchange and collaboration.
