Shaking the Status Quo
Written by Prerna Aswani, Project Lead at inHive in collaboration with Kavya Mohta, Project Associate at Nirantar Trust This blog reflects on the growing efforts towards challenging traditional gender norms in India, zooming into the example of Nirantar Trust, a feminist organisation that develops cross-sectoral collaborations & networks to challenge the status quo on women’s role in the economy. THE STATUS QUO FOR WOMEN IN INDIA In some ways, the position of women in India has markedly improved; in 2018-19, women represented over 50% of undergraduates, reflecting a narrowing of the gender education gap. Yet whilst the education gap might …

How networks can unlock youth potential globally
A note from inHive’s new chair, Dan Keyworth Throughout my life, I have seen the awesome power of the people around us to shape our lives. Two alumni changed my life in 2000 with a scholarship, in turn made possible by others lobbying government to widen funding. Across my career I have seen transformative networks for engagement, fundraising and outcomes. Despite most young people globally not having access to strong networks today, research shows that inspiring alumni and leaders in their communities want to help and be connected. Whilst COVID-19 put up some new physical boundaries, it has also broken …
A Community Makes All the Difference
By Ján Michalko, PhD This guest blog was written by our Senior Project Ján for Education Sub-Saharan Africa (ESSA) in August 2020 at the launch of its African Scholarship Hub. Ján reflects on his doctoral fieldwork with university students in South Africa. He highlights the benefits of alumni networks for young women and men, who receive scholarships for their higher education. It was late 2016 and the calls for university fees ‘to fall’ in South Africa were entering their new peek. University students were once again organising marches and class disruptions. They were building on the discussions and changes they instigated with the Rhodes Must Fall campaign the previous year. Their goal was to shine light on the challenges that many young South Africans, especially racialized as Black/ African, faced in their quest to getting quality education, especially on tertiary levels. One of them was financial exclusion, which persisted despite the provision of national financial assistance and various bursary and scholarship schemes. …
The Year for Anti-Resolutions
*Team photo pre-COVID Sitting down in early January this year, I’ve tried to resist the urge to write my usual long list of resolutions, or at least not the way I’ve historically done it (“yoga every day!”, “no more caffeine!”) – things eminently sensible, but nonetheless unrealistic. Perhaps this is the year for the anti-resolution, where we don’t seek to be ‘complete’, but ongoing works of practice. I can’t help but feel that we’ll weather this year better if we don’t try and be too absolute. So in the spirit of this, we’re sharing four areas we’d like to continue …
