Isabelle Hillenkamp

28Post-doctoral research fellow

29University of Geneva, Institute of socioeconomics

30Isabelle Hillenkamp holds a PhD in development studies from the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (2009). Her research interests first focused on the links between markets, democracy and solidarities within the social economy in Bolivia. Having participated in the research on Gender, rural development and food in preparation for the Graduate Institute’s conference, she started working on the intersections between gender and her research field in Bolivia. In her latest work, she delivers a critical study of social economy as a set of production, exchange and finance practices falling within both the production and the reproduction spheres.

Magdalena León

34Profesora titular

35Universidad Nacional, Bogotá, Colombia

36Magdalena León is professor emeritus at the National University of Colombia, in Bogotá. She is a pioneer of research on gender and rural societies in Latin America, where she has been involved not only as a scholar but also as a teacher and an activist. She studied economics and sociology in the 1950s, at a time when few women dreamed of going to university, and obtained degrees from the National University of Colombia and from Washington University. Her research has contributed to the birth of a “hands-on sociology”, which focused on the realities of the poor and the marginalised; it is often through action-research that she got to work with women from the slums of Bogotá, as well as with peasants and domestic workers. She has published a number of books on women, political participation and economic development in Colombia and in Latin America. Her outstanding work was recognised by the Columbian government in 2000 by the National award for scientific merit. Her book Género, propiedad y empoderamiento: Tierra, estado y mercado en América Latina (Gender, ownership and empowerment: Land, state and market in Latin America), which she co-edited with Carmen Diana Deere, received many international awards. She is also one of the founders and the current director of the Documentation fund on women and gender, and she heads the School of gender studies at the National University, as well as the Women and political participation network.

Marie Monimart

59International Fellow Researcher

60International Institute for Environment and Development

61Marie Monimart has worked for 25 years in Sub Saharan Africa – especially in the West African Sahel countries, in Madagascar and in Central Africa, plus a short experience in Haiti and Cambodia. Her work is focused on gender issues, more specifically related to equitable natural resources management, household livelihood security, and pastoralism.

62Following a four year assignment (2002-2006) in Niger as a coordinator for the CARE Denmark programme, she is now involved in research on gender, land tenure and decentralisation issues in Sub Saharan Africa with IIED (London). She is also adapting facilitation training and basic tools to reinforce field partners and agents’ skills in their day-to-day job within their communities, enabling the marginalised to express their voice. She keeps a special interest on strengthening pastoral civil society – especially in terms of sustainable access to water and pasture and a better understanding of the crucial diversity of their mobile livelihoods in Sub Saharan Africa.

63One main challenge ahead is how to promote – and advocate for – a more effective and sustainable integration of gender issues, integrating local societies’ concepts and visions, into poverty reduction, since little progress has been made so far to answer Ester Boserup’s questions in 1970.

Alix Morales

67Dirigente campesina

68Asociación de mujeres campesinas de Inza, Tierradentro Colombia

69Alix Morales Marin is a rural community leader in the Cauca region, in Colombia. She has been working as a community organiser and social worker for more than 10 years, with a special emphasis on food sovereignty with a gender perspective. She sees processes of production and transformation of local products as means of resistance and of permanency on the land. She was one of the founders of the women’s committee of the Asociacion campesina de Inza Tierradentro, where she initiated trainings and awareness-raising activities, as well as campaigns to prevent and eliminate the multiple forms of violence against women. The committee has existed since 2000, and was born out of women’s preoccupations with regards to the impossibility of accessing paid work, formal and informal work, political positions, and more generally by the systematic non-recognition of their human rights. The committee works towards gender equality and women’s empowerment, through the promotion of their rights, the improvement of their quality of life, the elimination of violence against women, and the recognition of the political, productive and reproductive work.

She coordinates one of the largest ILC projects, a three-year research project in Eastern and Southern Africa on linking research and action on women’s access to land in collaboration with research institutes, NGOs and CBOs in 7 countries in the region. She is currently focusing on developing an ILC approach on legal empowerment, based on previous ILC members’ work and a set of pilot activities promoting the legal empowerment of women at the community-level undertaken in 2009/10, and has a strong interest in participatory and gender-sensitive approaches. Sabine’s background is in political science and Hispanic studies (M.A. University of Glasgow) and development studies (M. Sc. London School of Economics).
