Women and Gender in Development Virtual Conference 2021
Out of the theory & into the field: A dialogue on gendered approaches to inclusive rural development
FEBRUARY 23 - 26, 2021
Given the ongoing impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the 2021 Women and Gender in International Development Conference hosted by Virginia Tech will be an online event. The event will create an environment where students, early career faculty, practitioners, and extension professionals are able to learn from gender experts and international agriculture experts promoting inclusive agriculture and rural development. It includes two days of asynchronous, pre-event material and networking and an optional workshop, and two half days of synchronous programming. It will provide numerous opportunities for attendees to participate and network. We again will focus on research, practice, and methods, this time with a dialogue between people working internationally and domestically.
