CALL FOR PAPERS
Gender & Development: The
Economic Crisis
In July 2010, the international
journal Gender & Development, (published for Oxfam GB by
Routledge/Taylor and Francis) will publish a Special Issue on Gender and the
Economic Crisis. It will be co-edited by Caroline Sweetman of Oxfam GB, and
Professor Ruth Pearson of the Centre for Development Studies, University of
Leeds.
We hope the Special Issue on the
Economic Crisis will result in:
Mapping, learning and networking of
what we know to date about the impact of the economic crisis on women and
gender relations, and future implications for national growth, poverty
alleviation and feminist empowerment.
Clearer knowledge of good research,
activism and support at grassroots level, and who is doing each of these.
Increased knowledge on the part of
development researchers, policymakers and activists about how to support
women's rights, and gender equality, as we weather this crisis.
Contributions are invited from
development researchers and workers who have experience to share with their
peers, and with policymakers and decision-makers in development agencies and
governments.
We would anticipate the issue
including articles focusing on:
This Special Issue forms a part of a
wider project run by Oxfam GB aiming to support learning on Gender and the
Economic Crisis. For more information about this, and the journal more
generally, including full guidelines for contributors, please visit www.genderanddevelopment.org

the above, or have other ideas about articles we should commission, please
send a paragraph outlining your proposed idea to gadeditor@oxfam.org.uk, as soon as possible, and before 31 July 2009. Commissioned
