A new Sociology of Development Policy Brief is out! Volume 5, Issue 2 (2020): “Stigma and Labour Market Outcomes: Sex Work and Domestic Work in India” by Neha Hui (University of Reading) and Uma Kambhampati (University of Reading).

Also, here is a message from our Policy Brief editor Alaka Basu:

Here  is the second of the 2020 series of Policy Briefs being edited by me, Alaka Basu, for the Sociology of Development section of ASA.

This policy brief is titled: “Stigma and Labour Market Outcomes: Sex Work and Domestic Work in India,” by Neha Hui and Uma Kambhampati (2020, vol 5, iss. 2).

I welcome expressions of interest to contribute. While I am open to any ideas you have, your pitch should ideally include a reference to something you have published on the subject, so that we can assume a base level of peer reviewing of the material.

Thanks again and looking forward to keeping this going.
