CALL FOR PAPERS

The International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE) invites members to submit panel proposals, session proposals, and individual paper submissions on any area of feminist inquiry into economic issues, including:

  • Gender and the business cycle
  • Feminist approaches to institutional economics
  • Economic issues involving race, gender, class, and/or sexual identity
  • Intra-household production and exchange
  • Experimental evidence on gender differences
  • Caring labor, uncompensated labor, and gift exchange
  • Gender and economic development

IAFFE also co-sponsors sessions with other organizations. We are planning for several joint sessions with the Union for Radical Political Economics (URPE) and thus particularly welcome proposals on feminist and radical political economic theory and applied analysis. A parallel call for these jointly-sponsored sessions will be issued shortly.

IAFFE also often has joint sessions with the Association for Evolutionary Economics (AFEE), Association for Social Economics (ASE), Association for the Study of Generosity in Economics (ASGE), Labor and Employment Relations Association (LERA), and National Economics Association (NEA).

IAFFE is also a participant in the International Confederation of Associations for Pluralism in Economics (ICAPE) which will be holding a one-day conference at Drexel University, Philadelphia, PA, on the day before the ASSA meetings begin. We may recommend that your paper or session be included in the ICAPE conference if it is not accepted for the ASSA conference. However, you are not obligated to participate in ICAPE if this offer is extended to you.
