A new Sociology of Development Policy Brief is out! Volume 6, Issue 5 (2021) is “Missing Widows” by Siwan Anderson (University of British Columbia) and Debraj Ray (New York University).

Below is a message from our policy brief editor, Alaka M. Basu:

As usual, 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. There should also be some clear policy implications arising from the piece.

Thanks again,
