Hubert H. Humphrey Institute of Public Affairs, presents a
Workshop on Global Policy

12:45 - 2:00 pm
Tuesday, March 11, 2008

Professor Greta Friedemann-Sanchez of the Humphrey Institute will speak on:
Property and *Intra-Household Bargaining*

170 HHH - Stassen Room, West Bank Campus

Property ownership is known to play a major role in providing
individuals with intrahousehold negotiation leverage. Professor
Friedemann-Sanchez's research in Colombia suggests that women are not
able to purchase as much property as men. Is caregiving - that is the
financial, emotional and unpaid work performed on behalf of relatives -
a component of intrahousehold bargaining? If so, does it influence
property acquisition? Building upon her research in Colombia and among
US service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan with polytrauma
and other blast-related injuries, she presents the commonalities between
two ongoing studies on households of floriculture workers in Colombia
and on households of caregivers of polytrauma victims.

All are welcomed! Refreshments will be served.

The next two presentations are:
March 25 -- Jerry Zhao on China's One Child Policy
