Jacqueline Gallo is a doctoral candidate at the Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge.  She performs ethnographic research in faith-based girls' schools for marginalized and pastoralist communities in East Africa.  In examining what constitutes a ‘good’ education for these young women, using the Capability Approach hopefully will pre-empt the assumption that discourse about them must always focus on marginalization and vulnerability.
