Frances Vavrus is McKnight Presidential Fellow and Associate Professor at the University of Minnesota. She conducts research in the anthropology of development, comparative education, and gender studies with a focus on East Africa. 

Her recent scholarship explores the politics of partnership and free education in foreign aid policy, and her earlier work examined the articulation of HIV/AIDS, fertility decline, and girls’ education in international development discourse and in local practice in the Kilimanjaro Region of Tanzania. 

In this talk, Frances will discuss critical discourse analysis as methodology in her recent research projects into the ways that partnership is invoked in the World Bank/IMF’s Poverty Reduction Strategy process.
