In this episode Marjorie discusses the gender discrimination she faced at University of Dar es Salem, the early PAR projects with rural women farmers, and the genesis of a transformative feminist coalition that created alternative feminist spaces in the university, the emerging participatory research approach arena, and the development sphere.
