Abstract: This study looks at the various dynamic roles women occupy in an armed conflict situation. Many research look at women‟s roles from the perspective of victims or peacemakers in the study of armed conflict. It will go beyond the two notions to look at the various engagements women in conflict areas have undertaken and the agency involved in the process of dynamic roles. The simplistic division of roles during armed conflict, men as perpetrators or the rebel, and women as victims or peacekeepers don‟t tell the ground reality. The overall objective is to situate women in an armed conflict and how they have resisted the state collectively, responded, and participated in the violent conflict. This study will develop a case for women who have participated in the movement and how they have exercised agency and will go beyond the notion of a peacekeeper to include dynamic roles. Based on an empirical study with Boro women of Assam, seeks to highlight the complexities of their roles and agency

Abstract: This article examines the interactions of informal settlement communities with created spaces for citizen participation. The Baraza is a semi-formal public gathering held in communities at the behest of local administrators. The aims of the baraza are to pass critical information, to deal with rising information in a locality and to collect the views of the local community on certain issues. Although it has been touted as a tool for creating access, voice, empowerment, representation and participation in communities, it has also has a chequered history. Its colonial origins and design continue to plague its legitimacy and effectiveness. This is especially true in informal settlements........

Abstract: Thomas Kuhn‟s 1962 "Paradigm Shift" on scientific revolutions is a concept heard of frequently from academics, politicians and the general public about how society could cause major overhaul in itself. The concept admonishes society to change its approaches by reviewing old systems or challenges, and inventing new ways of thinking, doing, and getting things done; for the greatest of outcomes and the greatest number of people. A paradigm shift could modify the observed anomalies that impede social progress, or disrupts innovations and achievements, by applying new modalities to how people work and live together to achieve the goals and aspirations of the society. Kuhn‟s Paradigm Shift requires evaluative know-how; self-awareness and limitations which connect it to the Dunning and Kruger Effect. David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999 posited that it takes competence (abilities......
