Jacqueline A. Coore-Hall is a graduate of the University of the West Indies, Mona, with a PhD (high commendation) in Gender and Development Studies. She received the Most Outstanding Thesis Award for the academic year 2016/2017 and her work was featured as Outstanding Research from New Scholar at the University’s Annual Research Day, 2018. She was one of two recipients of the 2017 Louraine Emmanuel Graduate Cash Award and Book Prize in Gender and Development Studies for academic excellence in written English and oral expression. As an advocate for a more gender-balanced society, Dr. Coore-Hall's interest lies in researching issues relating to gender discrimination, gender justice and democratic representation in the society.
