The Rough Tor Effect: Early prehistoric monuments focusing on significant tors in Cornwall
A ceremonial monument cannot function without those people who carry knowledge of its metaphysics and practice, and it cannot continue into the future without instruction in its meaning. In this paper, we attempt to recover the meaning of Neolithic tradition as enacted on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall where prominent hills can be viewed at a great distance. It has long been recognised that hundreds of prehistoric monuments in Cornwall in some way 'pay …
Stone circles and the Pole Star on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall
An exploration of the possibility of Neolithic excarnation on Bodmin Moor, Cornwall
Locations of Cornish cairns in relation to the Rough Tor Effect
Hundreds of round cairns and barrows survive on the granite uplands of Bodmin Moor, with hundreds more beyond the Moor, including along the Cornish coast. We posit that their distribution is far from random, or related merely to the territories of Late Neolithic and early Bronze Age people, especially as many Cornish cairns and barrows do not contain burials. Most of those in east Cornwall enjoy a direct sightline to Rough Tor, and Stowe's Hill i…
Methodologies for Researching Feminization of Agriculture: What Do They Tell Us
An increasing body of literature suggests that agriculture is ‘feminizing’ in many low- and middle-income countries. Definitions of the feminization of agriculture vary, as do interpretations of what drives the expansion of women’s roles in agriculture over time. Understanding whether, how, and why the feminization of agriculture is occurring requires effective research methodologies capable of producing nuanced data. This article builds on six r…
Gender roles and masculinities in leveraging milk for household nutrition: Evidence from two districts in Rwanda
Malnutrition in children remains a significant public health and development challenge in Rwanda. Animal Source Foods (ASFs) provide an important mechanism for supplying children with energy, proteins, and micro-nutrients. Using evidence from a study on the Girinka dairy program in Rwanda, this article adds a masculinities lens to nutrition strategies. It suggests potential ways to engage men in nutrition interventions whilst promoting gender-equ…
Gender-transformative agricultural experimentation and decision-making: Piloting Gals tools in Tanzania
Gender transformative change in agrifood systems involves understanding gender dynamics and norms and intentionally strengthening or shifting structures, practices, and relations towards equality. An important research issue is how to spark critical reflection and action that foster transformative change among participants and programme staff alike. Household Methodologies (including the Gender Action Learning System methodology) are a potential …
Caste-gender intersectionalities in wheat-growing communities in Madhya Pradesh, India
This article addresses the patterns of women’s engagement in wheat as decision-makers and laborers in India. Qualitative research conducted twice in one village in Madhya Pradesh explored gender norms and agency changes over time. Quantitative research was carried out in the same village and 17 additional villages. Four questions are asked: (1) Is decision-making in wheat feminized? (2) Is labor in wheat feminized? (3) In what ways do interaction…
Continuity and Change: Performing Gender in Rural Tanzania
Tanzanian legislation for women’s rights is a product of decades of indigenous women’s struggles and considered amongst the most progressive in Africa. However, implementation has been problematic and some elements in the current discourse appear to push back against gender equality with an essentialist framing of women and men as naturally different. This paper draws on the perspectives of 144 women and 144 men, in four rural communities in diff…
Unequal partners: Associations between power, agency and benefits among women and men maize farmers in Nigeria
New agricultural technologies such as improved maize varieties (IMVs) promise important benefits – increased incomes, lower workloads, and better food security – among others. When such technologies are introduced, they can denaturalize and expose gender norms and power relations because the adoption of such technologies inevitably requires women and men to renegotiate the rules of the game. This article asks: How do women negotiate power relatio…
From Working in the Fields to Taking Control. Towards a Typology of Women's Decision-Making in Wheat in India
Women in India perform a range of roles in wheat-based agricultural systems. However, data remain sparse. Cultural norms which construct men as farmers serve to conceal women’s contributions from researchers and rural advisory services. We use data from communities in four Indian states, selected to exemplify high and low gender gaps, to provide insights into how women are challenging norms which privilege male decision-making in order to partici…
Leaving no one behind: How women seize control of wheat–maize technologies in Bangladesh
Bangladesh is strongly committed to the "leave no one behind" principle of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. However, social norms and institutional biases in agricultural organisations can prevent indigenous peoples and women from participating in wheat-maize innovation processes, as they rarely meet the requisite criteria: sufficient land, social capital or formal education. The GENNOVATE (Enabling Gender Equality in Agricultural and Envi…

Gender and agricultural innovation in Oromia region, Ethiopia: From innovator to tempered radical
Tempered radicals are change agents who experience the dominant culture as a violation of the integrity and authenticity of their personal values and beliefs. They seek to move forward whilst challenging the status quo. Does the concept provide a useful analytic lens through which the strategies of women and men farmer innovators, who are 'doing things differently' in agriculture, can be interpreted? What are their strategies for turning ambivale…
From Working in the Wheat Field to Managing Wheat: Women Innovators in Nepal
There is very little research on women in wheat in Nepal, and wheat is still considered a 'man's crop'. Consequently, extension services rarely target women, and women are not considered as innovators. However, research conducted in the Terai plains in 2014/15 shows that women are innovating in wheat to the extent that wheat farming is experiencing a shift from feminisation of agricultural labour towards women taking control over decision-making.…
Incorporating gender into low-emission development: A case study from Vietnam
Reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture is needed to meet global climate policy targets. A number of low-emission development (LED) options exist in agriculture, which globally emits 10–12% of GHG emissions. In paddy rice production, alternative wetting and drying (AWD) can reduce emissions by up to 48%. Co-benefits of AWD include lower water consumption, lower use of fertilizer and seeds, and higher resistance to some pests and …
Gender-based constraints and opportunities to women’s participation in the small ruminant value chain in Ethiopia: A community capitals analysis
Using the Community Capitals Framework, this article explores the factors enhancing or constraining women’s access to, and control over, the resources required to participate in, and benefit from, small ruminant value chain activities. This is associated with the relationship of women and men to stocks of capitals: social, financial, human, natural, political, cultural, and physical, and how the relationship between various capitals is managed. O…
Well-Being is a Process of Becoming: Respondent-Led Research With Organic Farmers in Madagascar
Achieving respondent-led research in Madagascar
The research process itself has the potential to empower women and men, if it addresses their questions, rather than just those of the researcher. In addition, if respondents then go on to participate in devising development strategies based on the findings of a shared research process, this can play an integral role in assisting respondents to work towards achieving improvements in their own quality of life. In this paper I describe my attempts …
