The Global Economic Crisis: Turning Point for Economic Theory and Policy?
IAFFE invites members to submit panel proposals and individual paper submissions on any area of feminist inquiry into economic issues, to include:
• Economic issues confronting single mothers;
• Gender and low wage work;
• Social protection in the era of globalization;
• The care “deficit” and policies to alleviate it;
• Comparative analyses of masculinities and the economic status of women in developed and developing countries;
• Comparisons of stratification by gender and race/ethnicity.
IAFFE is planning several sessions with other organizations. We are planning up to three panels jointly with the Union for Radical Political Economics (URPE) and welcome proposals on feminist and radical political economic theory and applied analysis. We are interested in encouraging papers on:
• the gendered, racial and class impacts of the financial crisis (including implications about credit, employment and/or housing);

IAFFE also has a joint session with the Association for Social Economics (ASE) for which we encourage papers exploring the impact of the global crisis of 2008 on the discipline of economics from a feminist perspective, responding to such questions as:
• In what way has the mainstream economics discipline been affected by the crisis of 2008? In what ways have heterodox (including feminist) perspectives provided more accurate analyses and predictions?
• What are the main disagreements and debates in economics today? In what ways should the economics discipline change?
• What are the institutional impediments to an enlarged, more diverse arena for economic inquiry, and how might these be overcome?
