Publications & Conversations

The International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE) was formed in 1992 to provide a space where new and important economic conversations could flourish. IAFFE seeks to advance feminist inquiry into economic issues through a variety of publishing and networking activities.

The IAFFE Newsletter
IAFFE has published a newsletter three times a year since 1992 to inform members of calls for papers, grant opportunities, and conferences, as well as to share news from members around the world. The newsletter also gives the officers of the Association the opportunity to communicate with IAFFE members.

IAFFE-L
IAFFE-L, the official, moderated list of the Association, was started in 2000, and currently has 334 members. IAFFE-L provides an open forum for dialogue and debate about feminist economic issues and perspectives, and also provides timely information regarding conferences, calls for papers, and job opportunities. It is through this network that we provide quick and low-cost communication among subscribers interested in feminist economics.

IAFFE Conferences
The annual IAFFE Conference and IAFFE sponsored sessions at the ASSA (and other international, national, and regional meetings) provide important forums for advancing feminist economics through presentations of current research and exchanges with likeminded scholars, students, and activists.

The IAFFE Book Series
In 2001, IAFFE launched a book series, with the aim of providing a forum in which scholars have space to develop their ideas at length and in detail. The inaugural book, Living Wages, Equal Wages: Gender and Labour Market Policies in the United States by Deborah Figart, Ellen Mutari, and Marilyn Power, was released by Routledge in 2002. Written for a wide, interdisciplinary audience, this book argues that wage setting is a political and cultural as well as an economic process.

Feminist Economics
Feminist Economics, the IAFFE journal, is a peer-reviewed journal that has provided an open forum for dialogue and debate about feminist economic perspectives since 1993. By opening new areas of economic inquiry, welcoming diverse voices, and encouraging critical exchanges, the journal enlarges and enriches economic discourse. The goal of Feminist Economics is not just to develop more illuminating theories, but to improve the conditions of living for all children, women, and men.
