Serene Khader is the Jay Newman Chair in the Philosophy of Culture at Brooklyn College, City University of New York. She has emerged as one of the leading scholars of gender and development. Her first book, Adaptive Preferences and Women’s Empowerment (OUP 2011), is by far the best available treatment of the topic of preference formation in circumstances of material and social deprivation. She develops a moral and political theory of adaptive preferences and develops an account of how they should be handled in development practice. Since that book, Khader has published a number of important papers on gender and development. Her next book, tentatively titled Transnational Feminist Ethics, is 80% complete.  Khader proposes to hold a one day workshop at IAS on a draft of the manuscripts.

In this workshop each chapter is subject to a set of critical comments by one internal and one external speaker, and then opens for discussion amongst the full group of participants.
