FEMINIST ECONOMICS
CALL FOR PAPERS
A SPECIAL ISSUE:
CRITICAL AND FEMINIST PERSPECTIVES ON FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC CRISES
Guest Editors:
Sakiko Fukuda-Parr, James Heintz, and Stephanie Seguino
The 2008 financial crisis and the subsequent global economic recession have prompted
significant reflections on the workings (and failures) of the global economic system and
inspired consideration of fundamentally different policy options. In the wake of growing evidence of gendered effects of the crisis, feminist scholars have the potential to provide important insights into appropriate policy responses and systemic reforms.
This special issue, planned for publication in 2013, will illuminate the multiple and gendered dimensions of the global financial crisis of 2008 and ensuing economic recession in economies of both North and South countries. Of particular interest are contributions that will explore the causes of the crisis, its human costs, and needed policy responses.
Contributions may cover diverse topics, including but not limited to:
• Gendered and racialized effects of the crisis on human development and gender equality.
• Feminist critiques of the political processes shaping global institutional change and systemic reform in governance.
• Feminist critiques of policy responses to the crisis.
• Lessons from earlier financial crises, including the East Asian crisis of the late 1990s.
• Macroeconomic policy alternatives to prevent recurrent crises and promote equitable growth.
• Social protection policies to mitigate social costs and aid rapid recovery.
Deadline for abstracts: 1 May 2010. Please direct queries and abstracts (500 words maximum) to the Guest Editors: Sakiko Fukuda-Parr (fukudaps@newschool.edu), James Heintz (jheintz@peri.umass.edu), and Stephanie Seguino (sseguino@uvm.edu).
