"A Gendered Analysis of Fisherfolk's Livelihood Adaptation and Coping Responses in the Face of a Seasonal Fishing Ban in Tamil Nadu & Puducherry, India" (with ). World Development (2017).
Examines how fisheries policy impacts people differently, depending on different configurations of gender, occupation, wealth, and power. Finds that women are more likely to adapt reactively (e.g., insufficient nutrition) when they also face low levels of wealth and/or social networks.
