Jack Jenkins is a Research Fellow in the department of Anthropology at Durham University. Jack’s background is in International Development.
In his previous work Jack has examined transport infrastructure and services in Liberia and Sierra Leone, focusing on how connecting isolated communities to the road network contributes to rural development in the areas of agriculture, education, employment, and health. He has also studied how improved rural-urban connectivity achieved in the post-war period in these countries has allowed rural women, previously tied down by domestic or farm activities, to participate more fully within the scope of market relations of production.
