- **Event Description**: For her inaugural lecture, Professor Punam Yadav explores women’s agency in conflict and post-conflict societies.About this EventThis inaugural lecture brings together feminist peace research and gender and disaster studies to rethink how we understand conflict, crisis, and social change. Challenging dominant narratives that portray women primarily as victims, the lecture asks a provocative question: Can women benefit from war? Drawing on long-term field research in Nepal, it examines how conflict and disruption can sometimes open new spaces for participation, leadership, and social change. At the same time, it highlights the limits and inequalities that persist long after violence ends. By focusing on lived experiences, this lecture offers a different perspective on how gender, conflict, and crisis are connected, and what this means for building more inclusive and just societies.This is an in-person event.Professor Punam YadavProfessor Punam Yadav is an internationally recognised scholar in Feminist Peace Research and Gender and Disaster Studies. Her work examines the complex intersections between gender, conflict, and disaster, with a particular emphasis on processes of social transformation in post-conflict societies.She is especially noted for conceptualising gender, conflict, and disaster as a continuum, a framing that bridges disciplinary boundaries and opens new critical pathways in disaster studies. Professor Yadav also serves as Director of the UCL Humanitarian Institute and Co-Director of the Centre for Gender and Disaster.Before entering academia, Professor Yadav spent more than a decade working with national and international NGOs in Nepal. This extensive practitioner experience continues to shape her scholarly approach, grounding her research and teaching in lived realities and community-based perspectives. She has held several leadership roles including Chair of the ISA–UNAI Coordination Committee and General Secretary of the Britain Nepal Academic Council (BNAC).Her publications include Social Transformation in Post-Conflict Nepal: A Gender Perspective (Routledge, 2016), which has also been translated in Chinese and the influential article “Can women benefit from war? Women’s agency in conflict and post-conflict contexts” (Journal of Peace Research, 2020). In 2017, she was invited by the President of the UN General Assembly to participate in a High-Level Dialogue on Building Sustainable Peace for All. Her work continues to influence scholars, practitioners, and policymakers globally, shaping the ways gendered experiences of conflict and disaster are understood and addressed.

                "description": "Understanding global risks, reducing disasters and humanitarian crises presents a major challenge that requires coordinated and collaborative action. The Institute aims to achieve leadership in risk, disaster reduction and emergency response both in the UK and internationally.Natural hazards such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami, floods and storms destroy lives and damage economies across the globe; pandemics have the potential to bring death and suffering on an unprecedented scale; while climate change may increase the severity of disasters.How society sees risk, how to link understanding of the causative mechanics to statistical approaches, and how to increase resilience and reduce the risk of disasters are common themes cutting across research in natural, environmental, health and technological hazards.  The IRDR, with its new academic staff, many jointly appointed with key UCL departments, its rapidly growing trans-disciplinary PhD research centre, integrative masters teaching, programme of public events and partnerships with humanitarian, financial, research and civil protection organisations, seeks to bring together this diverse expertise at UCL.  We aim to maximise the impact and value of UCL activities and to increase and enhance cross-disciplinary collaboration and cooperation globally."
