Recherche	Jakobsen worked for some years for international humanitarian organizations on gender and violence issues in refugee settings in various conflict zones in Africa before embarking on her current research project, which has grown out of her experiences in those settings. She is looking at the socially shared norms surrounding male-on-female partner violence and clientilistic leadership styles in two districts in Tanzania. She is also a standby technical advisor to the UN-IASC on gender-based violence in emergencies. Research project: Distinguishing between the use and abuse of power: Attitudes to 'wife-beating' and 'corruption' in peri-urban Tanzania
