From Capital to Capabilities – Webinar by Dr Aliya Khalid

ReDe presents the Webinar: From Capital to Capabilities: ‘Capable’ mothers and their daughters’ access to education – Treading the pathway of silences

With Dr Aliya Khalid

Aliya has a PhD in gender, education, and development from the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge. Her research focuses on how mothers in the South navigate their agency in highly constrained circumstances. She has drawn extensively on the Human Development and Capability Approach in her work. Her special areas of interest are 'negative capability' and epistemic paradoxicality. Her research interests lie in issues of epistemic justice and the promotion of knowledges (plural) and Southern epistemologies. She also co-convenes the MPhil Education, Globalisation and International Development seminar series entitled: 'The politics of knowledge building in education and international development' at the Faculty of Education. The seminar aims to generate conversations around the politics and hegemonies of global knowledge production systems.

The suggested reading for the seminar is: Khalid, A. (2019) How do Mothers Perceive their Ability to Influence their Daughters’ Education? A qualitative study of mothers’ capabilities in three rural communities of Punjab, Pakistan. Dissertation Doctor of Philosophy. Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge. Cap. 6 y 7, 191-237
