It demonstrates that the reforms\u2019 impacts are unevenly felt, with those who are already the most marginalized benefiting the least. It explains these uneven effects by drawing on a historical intersectional analysis of gender violence and an an analysis of state-society relations at their local instantiations where reforms do (or do not) affect state officials\u2019 behavior and individuals\u2019 expectations and experiences of the \u201creformed\u201d state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among other theoretical insights, this analysis reveals the importance of including place in an intersectional analysis alongside more commonly studied categories of difference such as gender, ethnicity, and class.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PLC 348 Join the International Studies Community for a discussion at the INTL Lunch Talk Next Friday, May 10 @
