Pamela Abbott, FAcSS (born 27 June 1947)[1] is an academic in sociology, gender and development studies. She is an Honorary Professor at the University of Aberdeen,[2] and Director of the Centre for Global Development.[3]

Abbott leads the Scottish Government-funded research project Fostering a Social Practice Approach to Adult Literacies for Improving People’s Quality of Life in Western Rwanda.[4]

In her writings on feminist perspectives in sociology, Abbott challenges a limited consideration of gender issues within mainstream sociology,[5] and advocates a reconceputialisation and interdisciplinary approach in order to question fundamental assumptions in the discipline.[6]

Abbott's recent research interests focus on quality of life and socioeconomic transitions[7] in societies experiencing transformations following the Arab Spring.[8]
