The Great Gender Divergence - In Conversation with Alice Evans
In this conversation at the Review of Democracy, Alice Evans discusses the great gender divergence and how we might explain that some countries are much more gender equal than others; considers whether the history of gender is essentially about female emancipation in modern times but also whether even the most gender equal countries in the world today remain rather patriarchal; and reflects on the special challenges of writing an interdisciplinary book that analyzes the
history of gender on a truly global scale – and how such a project relates to the idea of a gender binary.
Alice Evans is a Senior Lecturer in the Social Science
of Development at King’s College London. She has published on gender, urbanization,
the drivers of social change, inequality, and global production networks.
Alice Evans is currently preparing a book
under the title The Great Gender Divergence, which is under contract with Princeton University Press.
This conversation was conducted at the Budapest Forum 2024 “Building Sustainable Democracies.”
