]]> Professor Fallon's interests lie within political sociology, international development, and gender studies. Specifically, she focuses on women’s social movements, women’s political rights, women's health, and democracy within sub-Saharan Africa, as well as across developing countries more broadly. Through comparative analyses across developing countries, and using both qualitative and quantitative methods, she has researched how types of democratic transitions influence women's political representation, how women's legislative representation is linked to children's health outcomes, how women's activism contributes to the spread of women's political quotas, how maternity leave policies effect fertility and child health outcomes, as well as how regional diffusion and support for CEDAW contribute to the passage of domestic violence laws across developing countries. She is currently working on research that examines the influence of USAID on gender related projects, as well as exploring topics linked to land, environment, and Indigeneity.
