Gender Equality in Challenging Times

The 2015 International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE) Annual Conference theme, “Gender Equality in Challenging Times” is intended to encourage  interdisciplinary   dialogue  on  how  feminist  economics  contributes   to  the  many challenges  we face throughout  the world. These challenges  include  economic  crises, austerity policies  in  European  countries,  the  transformation   of  the  welfare  state,  care  crisis,  social challenges  in  emerging  economies,  and  employment  and  migration  around  the  world.  Other important  themes  include  comparative  studies  of  social  welfare  policy,  domestic  violence, feminist ecology, the intersectional analysis of race, ethnicity and gender, and sex work. Panel proposals and individual paper submissions are invited on any aspect of feminist inquiry into economic issues. Interdisciplinary approaches are welcome.

The IAFFE will also hold a pre-conference workshop on Wednesday, July 15 from 1:30pm to 5pm.  

The pre-conference workshop is designed for scholars and activists new to feminist economics. It provides presentations by established scholars in the field. While precise topics vary from year to year, in general we include an overview to the subject along with presentations on specific topics such as feminist economics methodologies, caring labor, diversity in economics, and global perspectives on gender and economics. We also generally provide career-building presentations and discussions, such as on publishing feminist economics research and on developing a media presence.
