==Research==


Shirin M. Rai is an interdisciplinary scholar and has written extensively on issues of gender, governance and development, and politics and performance. She is the co/author of 5 monographs, has co/edited 15 volumes and has written numerous articles in high impact journals.
Shirin Rai's research contribution and leadership in the field of [[gender and development]] has been enormous.{{According to whom|date=July 2015}} She has authored and edited several books in this area of research, together with many articles, encyclopaedia essays and book chapters. Her work has spanned three specific areas: democratisation, globalisation and governance.

Rai has recently been working on issues of gendered care and work and the costs of this care work, which she (together with Catherine Hoskyns and Dania Thomas) theorised as ‘depletion through social reproduction’.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Rai |first1=Shirin M. |last2=Hoskyns |first2=Catherine |last3=Thomas |first3=Dania |date=2014-01-02 |title=Depletion |url=https://doi.org/10.1080/14616742.2013.789641 |journal=International Feminist Journal of Politics |volume=16 |issue=1 |pages=86–105 |doi=10.1080/14616742.2013.789641 |s2cid=214653272 |issn=1461-6742}}</ref>   She is a Co-Investigator for the UKRI-funded [https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/research/projects/internationalpoliticaleconomy/copower/ Consortium on Practices for Wellbeing and Resilience in Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Families and Communities] and is using the depletion framework to study the impact of racism during COVID-19, on Care, Caring and Carers in the Midlands.<ref>{{Cite web |title=CoPower |url=https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/research/projects/internationalpoliticaleconomy/copower/ |access-date=2022-08-07 |website=warwick.ac.uk}}</ref>

Rai has also developed an interdisciplinary framework across the social sciences/humanities boundaries - politics and performance<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Rai |first=Shirin M. |date=December 2015 |title=Political Performance: A Framework for Analysing Democratic Politics |url=http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1111/1467-9248.12154 |journal=Political Studies |language=en |volume=63 |issue=5 |pages=1179–1197 |doi=10.1111/1467-9248.12154 |s2cid=145534658 |issn=0032-3217}}</ref> - to study politics and political institutions. This emerged out of Rai’s [https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/research/completedprojects/gcrp/aboutgcrp Leverhulme Trust programme on Gendered Ceremony and Ritual in Parliament] (2007–2011), of which she was director.<ref>{{Cite web |title=About GCRP |url=https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/research/completedprojects/gcrp/aboutgcrp |access-date=2022-08-07 |website=warwick.ac.uk}}</ref> Building on this work Rai became interested in exploring the nature of performance in/as politics. Her recent books in this field include [https://global.oup.com/academic/product/performing-representation-9780199489053?cc=bd&lang=en& Performing Representation],<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rai |first=Shirin |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1090373358 |title=Performing representation : women members in the Indian parliament |date=2019 |others=Carole Spary |isbn=978-0-19-909386-1 |edition=First |location=New Delhi |oclc=1090373358}}</ref> a commentary on women MPs in the Indian Parliament, as well as co-edited the [https://global.oup.com/academic/product/the-oxford-handbook-of-politics-and-performance-9780190863456?cc=gb&lang=en& OUP Handbook of Politics and Performance].<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1236900207 |title=The Oxford handbook of politics and performance |date=2021 |others=Shirin Rai, Milija Gluhovic, Silvija Jestrovic, Michael Saward |isbn=978-0-19-086347-0 |location=New York, NY |oclc=1236900207}}</ref>

Rai’s work within feminist [[political economy]] examines gendered regimes of work and survival under globalisation, which include privatisation of natural resources, and the changing nature of work. Her books in this field are ''Gender and the Political Economy of Development'' (2002),<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rai |first=Shirin M. |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/850078998 |title=Gender and the Political Economy of Development : From Nationalism to Globalization. |date=2013 |publisher=Wiley |isbn=978-0-7456-6834-5 |location=Hoboken |oclc=850078998}}</ref> ''Gender Politics of Development'' (2008)<ref>{{Cite book |last=Rai |first=Shirin |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/990191348 |title=The gender politics of development : essays in hope and despair |date=2013 |isbn=978-1-84813-680-9 |location=London |oclc=990191348}}</ref> and ''New Frontiers in Feminist Political Economy'' (ed, with Georgina Waylen).<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/863157533 |title=New frontiers in feminist political economy |date=2013 |others=Shirin Rai, Georgina Waylen |isbn=978-1-134-64913-6 |location=New York |oclc=863157533}}</ref> She has also worked on questions of gender relations and their relationships to shifting patterns of economic and political governance – see ''Global Governance: Feminist Perspectives'' (2008).<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/213600531 |title=Global governance : feminist perspectives |date=2008 |publisher=Palgrave Macmillan |others=Shirin Rai, Georgina Waylen |isbn=978-0-230-53704-0 |location=Basingstoke |oclc=213600531}}</ref>


Her earlier work also focused strongly on democratisation. In 2000 she edited ''International Perspectives on Gender and Democratization''.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/42960536 |title=International perspectives on gender and democratisation |date=2000 |publisher=St. Martin's Press |others=Shirin Rai |isbn=0-333-75004-7 |location=New York |oclc=42960536}}</ref> As the acting director of the Centre for the Study of Democratisation at the University of Warwick, she (with Wyn Grant) launched a book series with Manchester University Press on ''Perspectives on Democratisation'', which was re-launched under a new title, ''[https://manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/series/perspectives-on-democratic-practice/ Perspectives on Democratic Practice]'', in 2007.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Perspectives on Democratic Practice |url=https://manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/series/perspectives-on-democratic-practice/ |access-date=2022-08-07 |website=Manchester University Press |language=en-US}}</ref>  Rai has also served on the Editorial Board of the journal ''Democratization''.
Before her work on gender and development, Shirin Rai worked on political participation in post-Mao China. In her doctoral thesis she focused on the implementation of higher education reforms and suggested that informal and everyday participatory practices can undermine authoritarian regimes’ ability to push through policy and can thus delegitimise their power. She did her field work in China in 1987, where she interviewed many students, lecturers and officials in universities, which were already seething with discontent that spilled over into the streets and Tian’anmen Square in 1989. Rai went to Paris to interview dissidents who had had to flee China after the suppression of students and these interviews formed part of her book ''Resistance and Reaction: University Politics in Post-Mao China''.<ref>{{cite book | last = Rai | first = Shirin | title = Resistance and reaction: university politics in post-Mao China | publisher = Harvester Wheatsheaf St. Martin's Press | location = Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire New York, New York | year = 1991 | isbn = 9780312071875 }}</ref> During her research in China Rai became interested in the ways in which gender relations framed debates as well as policies on education and how gender divisions were consolidated through state intervention in policy implementation; this led her to developing a new research agenda.


Rai has also collaborated with the UN Women, [[United Nations Development Programme]], [[United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs]] and the [[World Bank]] for consultancy work, and public speaking engagements.
Rai's work on a gendered analysis of the processes of democratisation, and in particular women's access to political and national and local development institutions, has contributed enormously{{According to whom|date=July 2015}} to the debates in the field. In 2000 she edited ''International Perspectives on Gender and Democratization'',<ref>{{cite book | last = Rai | first = Shirin | title = International perspectives on gender and democratisation | publisher = St. Martin's Press | location = New York | year = 2000 | isbn = 9780312232108 }}</ref> which was one of the first books in this area. In this book Rai raised important questions about the nature of the third wave of democratisation and its complex effect on gender relations in the developing work. A distinctive framing of democratisation in her work concerns not only new but consolidated democracies such as India; Rai suggests that engendering state institutions in these countries forms part of the democratisation process and should not be overlooked. Her work on women MPs in the Indian parliament, funded by the Nuffield Foundation,<ref>{{cite web | last = Rai | first = Shirin | title = Case studies: Class, Caste and Gender: Women in Parliament in India | url = http://archive.idea.int/women/parl/studies4a.htm | publisher = Women in Parliament: Beyond Numbers }}</ref> remains one of the only studies of its kind and has led to Rai working with United Nations organisations such as UNDP, Division for Women's Advancement, Department for Economic and Social Affairs and Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance for consultancy work, and public speaking engagements. She also published a [[United Nations Development Programme|United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)]] Report: ''Achieving Gender Equality in Public Offices in Pakistan''.<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Rai | first1 = Shirin | last2 = Shah | first2 = Nafisa | last3 = Avaz | first3 = Aazar | title = Achieving gender equality in public offices in Pakistan | publisher = [[United Nations Development Programme|United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)]] | location = Pakistan | year = 2007 | oclc = 824134361 }} [http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/pais/people/rai/outreach/undp_report.pdf Pdf.]</ref>

Globalisation of political economy and its effect on gender relations is the second focus of Rai's work. In 2002 she published ''Gender and the Political Economy of Development: From Nationalism to Globalisation'',<ref>{{cite book | last = Rai | first = Shirin | title = Gender and the political economy of development: from nationalism to globalization | publisher = Polity Press | location = Malden, Massachusetts | year = 2002 | isbn = 9780745614915 }}</ref> which was, in the words of the ''International Feminist Journal of Politics'', "a book that is essential reading – not just for feminists, but for anyone interested in global development",<ref>{{Cite journal | title = Book reviews | journal = [[International Feminist Journal of Politics]] | volume = 5 | issue = 3 | pages = 471–487 | doi = 10.1080/1461674032000122786 | date = November 2003 | ref = harv }}</ref> establishing her position as a leading thinker{{According to whom|date=July 2015}} in the field of gender and development.

In 2010 she guest-edited (with Kate Bedford) a special issue of ''[[Signs (journal)|Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society]]'',<ref name=Theorize>{{Cite journal | last1 = Rai | first1 = Shirin M. | last2 = Bedford | first2 = Kate | title = Feminists theorize international political economy | journal = [[Signs (journal)|Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society]] | volume = 36 | issue = 1 | pages = 1–18 | doi = 10.1086/652910 | date = Autumn 2010 | ref = harv }}</ref> published by the [[University of Chicago Press]]. The theme of the special issue was ''Feminists Theorize the International Political Economy''.<ref name="Theorize"/> In her work Rai addressed two fundamental challenges before gender theory and practice:
# Why certain accommodations regarding gender relations are more feasible than others?
# What are the dangers of cooption of feminist struggles for equality in governance regimes on the one hand, and marginalisation and therefore lack of policy influence and shift on the other?
Addressing these questions from a postcolonial perspective in the context of globalisation, Rai’s work continues to insist on keeping in focus the politics of gender equality as well as the dialectic of agency and structure in reproducing as well as challenging dominant social structures.

Rai's work, in a long tradition of feminist scholarship, has been multidisciplinary. Building on her work on states, state institutions, political representation and the spectacularisation of politics, and funded by the Leverhulme Trust, Rai's current{{When|date=July 2015}} work is on ''Gendered Ceremony and Ritual in Parliament''.<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Rai | first = Shirin M. | title = Analysing ceremony and ritual in parliament | journal = The Journal of Legislative Studies | volume = 16 | issue = 3 | pages = 284–297 | doi = 10.1080/13572334.2010.498098 | date = September 2010 | ref = harv }}</ref> The programme examines how struggles over the meanings and performance of ceremony and ritual in parliament secure and reproduce as well as challenge and transform institutional norms. Its insights into the theory and practice or representation are intended to inform democratic practice and invigorate political participation.

Biography

[edit]

Shirin M. Rai was born in New Delhi, India and attended Modern School. After securing her BA at Hindu College, Delhi University and MA in the Department of Political Science, Delhi University, India, she carried out her doctoral research on Chinese liberalisation and educational reforms at Christ’s College and Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, University of Cambridge.

Rai joined the Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Warwick as the first woman to be appointed as a full-time lecturer, in 1989 and served there until 2022. She is now distinguished research professor in SOAS, Department of Politics and International Studies.

Rai is honorary professor in the Department of Politics and International Studies, University of Warwick, visiting professor (2021 -) at the Department of Gender Studies at LSE, and an adjunct professor at Monash University.

Research

[edit]

Shirin M. Rai is an interdisciplinary scholar and has written extensively on issues of gender, governance and development, and politics and performance. She is the co/author of 5 monographs, has co/edited 15 volumes and has written numerous articles in high impact journals.

Rai has recently been working on issues of gendered care and work and the costs of this care work, which she (together with Catherine Hoskyns and Dania Thomas) theorised as ‘depletion through social reproduction’.[4]   She is a Co-Investigator for the UKRI-funded Consortium on Practices for Wellbeing and Resilience in Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic Families and Communities and is using the depletion framework to study the impact of racism during COVID-19, on Care, Caring and Carers in the Midlands.[5]

Rai has also developed an interdisciplinary framework across the social sciences/humanities boundaries - politics and performance[6] - to study politics and political institutions. This emerged out of Rai’s Leverhulme Trust programme on Gendered Ceremony and Ritual in Parliament (2007–2011), of which she was director.[7] Building on this work Rai became interested in exploring the nature of performance in/as politics. Her recent books in this field include Performing Representation,[8] a commentary on women MPs in the Indian Parliament, as well as co-edited the OUP Handbook of Politics and Performance.[9]

Rai’s work within feminist political economy examines gendered regimes of work and survival under globalisation, which include privatisation of natural resources, and the changing nature of work. Her books in this field are Gender and the Political Economy of Development (2002),[10] Gender Politics of Development (2008)[11] and New Frontiers in Feminist Political Economy (ed, with Georgina Waylen).[12] She has also worked on questions of gender relations and their relationships to shifting patterns of economic and political governance – see Global Governance: Feminist Perspectives (2008).[13]

Her earlier work also focused strongly on democratisation. In 2000 she edited International Perspectives on Gender and Democratization.[14] As the acting director of the Centre for the Study of Democratisation at the University of Warwick, she (with Wyn Grant) launched a book series with Manchester University Press on Perspectives on Democratisation, which was re-launched under a new title, Perspectives on Democratic Practice, in 2007.[15]  Rai has also served on the Editorial Board of the journal Democratization.

Rai has also collaborated with the UN Women, United Nations Development Programme, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs and the World Bank for consultancy work, and public speaking engagements.

Shirin M. Rai is a member of various professional societies such as the Political Studies Association, British International Studies Association and International Studies Association and has served on the Governing Council of the International Studies Association (2009–2011). She has served as co-Editor of the journal Social Politics, and is member of the editorial boards of publications such as:  Indian Journal of Gender Studies, International Feminist Journal of Politics, Global Ethics and Review of International Studies.

Honours

[edit]

In July 2022 Rai was awarded the British International Studies Association Distinguished Contribution Award.[16]

In 2021 Rai was elected a fellow of the British Academy[17]

In 2017, the Political Studies Association named its PhD dissertation prize for international relations the Shirin M. Rai prize in recognition of her contributions to the discipline of feminist international relations and international political economy.[18]

Rai was awarded the Feminist Theory and Gender Studies Eminent Scholar Award by the International Studies Association in 2015

In 2010 Rai was elected as a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences.[19]
