GEH Network: Reimagining Research: Intersectional Feminist Approaches for Just Evidence

6 May 2025 | GENDRO

At Gendro, we convened an informal, closed online panel with members of the GEH Network to explore a timely and essential question: Do we need a new paradigm to conduct research? 

With a focus on gender responsive /intersectional feminist research, the aim of this session was to create an interactive and safe space for open reflection on how recent social, political, and funding developments are affecting research on the intersection of health, gender, race/ethnicity, and other intersectional dimensions. We brought together a diverse group of voices and experiences, including those working on intersectional feminist and inclusive methodologies, fostering collaborative and participatory approaches.

We were honored to have Olabukunola Williams, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights Lead at Akin Mama wa Afrika, moderating this panel, alongside other insightful contributors Farah Abdi (TGEU — Trans Europe and Central Asia ) and Derek M. Griffith, Ph.D. (University of Pennsylvania).
