University of Chicago doctoral candidate Erin Moore, supervised by Dr. Jennifer Cole, will investigate the circulation, uptake, and transformation of global "girls' empowerment" discourses, resources, and practices. She will do so in order to shed light on how the personnel of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) carry ideas related to gender and development back and forth between international human rights arenas, on the one hand, and Ugandan families, on the other. This project asks: How do the participants of girls' empowerment programs take up and renegotiate their messages? What are some of the effects and unintended consequences for social reproduction in the families and communities in which these programs intervene? To answer these questions, Moore will conduct twelve months of ethnographic study with girls' empowerment NGO personnel, participants, and their families in Kampala, Uganda. The research will utilize social science methods, including domestic participant observations, interviews, focus groups, and analyses of mass-mediated girls' empowerment campaigns. Findings from this research will contribute to a social scientific understanding of gender, adolescence, and economic development. This project will also inform policymakers, assist international development workers, and contribute to the training of a graduate student.

芝加哥大学博士生艾琳·摩尔（Erin Moore）在詹妮弗·科尔博士的指导下，将研究全球“女孩赋权”话语、资源和实践的传播、吸收和转变。 她这样做的目的是为了阐明非政府组织（NGO）的工作人员如何在国际人权舞台和乌干达家庭之间来回传播与性别和发展相关的思想。该项目提出的问题是：女孩赋权计划的参与者如何接受并重新协商她们的信息？ 这些计划干预的家庭和社区的社会再生产有哪些影响和意外后果？为了回答这些问题，摩尔将与乌干达坎帕拉的女童赋权非政府组织人员、参与者及其家人进行为期十二个月的民族志研究。 该研究将利用社会科学方法，包括国内参与者观察、访谈、焦点小组以及对大众媒介的女孩赋权运动的分析。这项研究的结果将有助于社会科学地理解性别、青春期和经济发展。 该项目还将为政策制定者提供信息，协助国际发展工作者，并为研究生的培训做出贡献。
