A  vision,  a  promise  …  providing  a  space    for  research-­‐based  activism    IAFFE

The  International  Association  for  Feminist  Economics  is  an  open,  diverse  community  of  academics,  activists,  policy  theorists,  and  practitioners  from  around  the  world.  Our  common  cause  is  to  further  gender-­‐aware  and  inclusive  economic  inquiry  and  policy  analysis  with  the  goal  of  enhancing  the  well-­‐being  of  children,  women,  and  men  in  local,  national,  and  transnational  communities.  

By  opening  new  areas  of  economic  inquiry,  welcoming  diverse  voices,  and  encouraging  critical  exchanges,  IAFFE’s  many  activities  and  award-­‐winning  journal  provide  needed  space  for  a  variety  of  theoretical  perspectives  and  advance  gender-­‐based  research  on  contemporary  economic  issues.    

 

A  Tradition  of  Gender  Research

Asset  holding  and  economic  participation  and  well-­‐being  are  central  issues  of  research  in  feminist  economics.  Holding  land  increases  women’s  economic  situation  and  can  raise  their  position  within  society.  The  impact  religious  affiliation  has  on  women  is  also  examined,  with  particular  attention  being  paid  to  Muslim  women.  With  the  generous  support  of  many  sponsors,  Feminist  Economics  was  able  to  publish  research  on  a  wide  range  of  topics  with  case  studies  from  around  the  globe.  This  year  saw  the  publication  of  numerous  special  issues  titled  “Land,  Gender,  and  Food  Security”,  “Gender,  Economics,  and  Muslim  Communities”,  and  “Engendering  Economic  Policy  in  Africa”.

IAFFE  2014  Annual  Report  

 

Dear  Friends,    

The  2014  IAFFE  Annual  Conference,  “Women’s  Economic  Empowerment  and  the  New  Global  Development  Agenda,”  in  Ghana,  created  a  forum  

for  discussion  of  many  pressing  feminist  concerns  among  scholars,  activists,  researchers,  and  representatives  of  NGOs,  including  the  post-­‐2015  agenda.  The  Great  Recession  of  2007-­‐9  caused  setbacks  in  many  

achievements  towards  gender  equality  around  the  globe.  Despite  these  challenges,  the  need  to  ensure  food  security,  country  climate  change,  and  reduce  poverty  contributed  to  the  formation  of  gender-­‐aware  

economics  and  social  policies  in  Africa.  Following  the  economic  crisis,  women's  rights  movements  gained  momentum,  and  there  were  

considerable  gains  in  terms  of  women’s  empowerment  in  Ghana.  The  IAFFE  conference  was  an  opportunity  to  debate  topics  on  gender  equality  and  feminist  economics;  engendering  growth,  fiscal  policy,  and  macroeconomic  policies  through  a  feminist  lens;  and  migration,  microfinance,  

women’s  entrepreneurship,  employment,  and  sustainable  development  as  part  of  the  women’s  agency.  

The  IAFFE  sessions  and  co-­‐sessions  at  the  2015  ASSA  conference  in  Boston  brought  together  

feminists  working  on  the  following  issues:  Gender,  Monetary,  and  Fiscal  Policies,  Women’s  Employment,  Families  and  Austerity  Programs,  Deflation  and  Gender  in  a  Complex  Global  World,  Women’s  Employment  and  Central  Bank  Policies  during  the  Post-­‐Crisis  Period,  Economic  

Empowerment,  Ethics  and  Gender  Development,  Gender,  Microcredit  and  Microfinance.  Excitingly  it  resulted  in  more  than  thirty  submissions  and  the  organization  of  three  IAFFE  sessions  and  six  additional  joint  IAFFE  sessions  –  three  URPE-­‐IAFFE  sessions,  one  ASE-­‐IAFFE  panel,  and  

three  IAFFE  sessions  that  included  fifteen  papers.  

IAFFE  has  never  been  more  relevant  than  today.  Recession  and  the  subsequent  economic  hardship  and  cuts  in  spending  at  research  institutions  have  led  to  a  decline  in  IAFFE  membership  

in  many  countries.  IAFFE  is  in  a  campaign  to  collect  grants  to  involve  more  members  across  the  globe,  including  scholars,  activists,  researchers,  and  representatives  from  non-­‐governmental  organizations.  Feminist  economic  theory  remains  ever  relevant  in  the  face  of  changing  but  

persistent  gender  inequalities.  

The  IAFFE  conference  in  Ghana  was  the  first  IAFFE  conference  to  be  held  in  Africa.  I  would  like  to  thank  the  University  of  Ghana,  Legon,  Ghana,  as  well  as  other  local  institutions  for  providing  us  

with  the  space  and  the  resources  to  make  this  event  happen.  I  also  reserve  a  special  thank  you  to  Friedrich-­‐Ebert-­‐Stiftung  –  Berlin;  Friedrich-­‐Ebert-­‐Stiftung  –  Ghana;  Institute  of  Statistical,  Social  and  Economic  Research  (ISSER);  University  of  Ghana,  Department  of  Economics;  University  of  

Ghana  Centre  for  Gender  Studies  and  Advocacy  (CEGENSA);  University  of  Nebraska–Lincoln,  Department  of  Economics,  Institution  of  Agriculture  and  Natural  Resources,  Department  of  Agricultural  Economics;  Rice  University;  and  Dickinson  College  for  their  generous  support  of  our  

goals  and  activities.  

With  best  wishes  for  another  productive  and  successful  year,  

Alicia  Girón,  IAFFE  President  2014–15

IAFFE  2014  Annual  Report    

 

   Membership  Meeting  &  Book  Celebration  |  23rd  IAFFE  Annual  Conference  |  Accra,  Ghana  |  June  27-­‐30,  2014  –  Joyce  Jacobsen,  Ellie  Perkins,  Alicia  Girón,  conference  participant,  conference  participant,  Günseli  Berik,  Diana  Strassmann,  Cruz  Caridad  Bueno  (2014  Rhonda  Williams  Prize),  Abena  Oduro,  Yana  Van  Der  Meulen  Rodgers.  

 Fostering  a  Culture  of  Impact      

From  the  outset,  in  its  vision  and  membership,  IAFFE  has  sought  to  be  inclusive  and  open,  a  global  community  of  economists  and  non-­‐economists,  of  academics,  practitioners,  and  activists  who  are  interested  in  feminist  viewpoints  on  questions  of  economic  analysis,  policy,  and  practice.  Our  goals  are  wide-­‐ranging  and  include  creating  collaborations  to  develop  feminist  analyses  of  economic  issues;  educating  economists,  policy-­‐makers,  and  the  general  public  on  feminist  points  of  view  on  economic  matters;  providing  aid  in  expanding  opportunities  for  women,  especially  women  from  underrepresented  groups  within  economics;  and  encouraging  inclusion  of  feminist  perspectives  in  the  economics  classroom.    

Land,  Gender,  and  Food  Security  

The  gendered  dimensions  of  large  land  deals  are  examined  in  a  Feminist  Economics  special  issue  on  Land,  Gender,  and  Food  Security,  guest  edited  by  Cheryl  Doss,  Gale  Summerfield,  and  Dzodzi  Tsikata,  and  published  in  January  2014.  Most  of  the  authors  who  contributed  to  the  special  issue  participated  in  a  showcase  panel  at  the  2014  IAFFE  Conference  in  Accra,  Ghana.    

Hunger  and  food  security  have  long  been  central  issues  in  feminist  economic  analyses.  The  global  food  price  crisis  of  2007–8  foreshadowed  the

IAFFE  2014  Annual  Report  

 interconnectedness  of  food  and  energy  policies  and  the  vulnerability  of  vast  numbers  of  poor  and  chronically  malnourished  people  throughout  the  world  to  rising  food  prices.  The  global  boom  in  farmland  and  land  grabs  by  richer  countries  demonstrate  the  urgency  of  investigating  the  multifaceted  nature  of  the  food  security  problem  and  examining  in  particular  how  large  land  acquisitions  affect  women,  who  generally  have  less  control  over  land  than  men  do.    

Articles  published  in  the  special  issue  were  divided  between  theoretical  approaches  and  case  studies,  and  ranged  from  a  meta-­‐analysis  of  transnational  land  deals  that  argues  for  incorporating  utilitarian  and  human-­‐rights  perspectives  into  feminist  responses  to  an  assessment  of  rural  Ugandans’  perspectives  on  land  ownership  and  their  implications  for  large-­‐scale  land  acquisitions  to  an  analysis  of  crop  choice  among  women  small  farmers  in  Kenya.    

The  special  issue  was  generously  supported  by  the  Ford  Foundation,  Rice  University,  and  the  University  of  Utah.  

Gender,  Economics,  and  Muslim  Communities  

This  special  issue,  guest  edited  by  Ebru  Kongar,  Jennifer  Olmsted,  and  Elora  Shehabuddin,  was  published  in  October  2014.  Articles  explored  new  insights  into  women’s  economic  well-­‐being  in  Muslim  communities  while  interrogating  the  prevailing  discourses  about  women’s  participation  in  these  communities.  Generously  supported  by  the  Swedish  International  Development  Cooperation  Agency  (Sida),  Rice  University,  and  the  University  of  Utah,  the  issue  helped  close  the  gaps  in  our  knowledge  of  the  links  between  gender,  economic  well-­‐being,  and  the  varying  influences  of  religion,  gaps  caused  by  gender-­‐blind  analyses  and  unexplored  assumptions  and  generalizations  regarding  Muslim  women’s  experiences.  Articles  included  an  analysis  of  the  influence  of  patriarchal  norms,  institutions,  and  household  composition  on  women’s  employment  in  majority-­‐Muslim  countries  and  an  inquiry  into  whether  son  preference  is  weakening  in  Bangladesh.  An  introduction  by  the  guest  editors  expanded  on  the  issue’s  theme  by  bringing  together  feminist  analyses  of  Orientalist  tropes,  development  discourses  and  policies,  and  macro-­‐  and  microeconomic  trends.  

Engendering  Economic  Policy  in  Africa  

This  special  issue  of  the  journal,  guest  edited  by  Caren  A.  Grown,  Abena  D.  Oduro,  and  Irene  van  Staveren,  brings  together  new  research  aimed  at  challenging  and  improving  economic  policies  in  Africa.  Articles  published  online  in  2014  include  an  analysis  of  the  problems  posed  by  the  practice  of  using  joint-­‐asset  ownership  as  a  means  to  enhance  gender  equality  in  Uganda  and  South  Africa  and  an  examination  of  the  gendered  effects  of  trade  openness  in  South  Africa.  The  print  version  of  the  issue  will  be

IAFFE  2014  Annual  Report    

 

published  in  2015.  

The  special  issue  is  part  of  an  overall  project  supported  by  a  generous  2011  grant  from  the  Swiss  Development  and  Cooperation  Agency  (SDC),  that  has  two  primary  goals:  help  develop  and  disseminate  more  effective  poverty-­‐alleviation  policies  in  Africa,  with  a  particular  emphasis  on  incorporating  the  gender  dimension  into  the  formulation,  implementation,  and  monitoring  of  these  social  and  economic  policies;  and  to  provide  the  mentoring,  capacity  building,  and  detailed  editing  assistance  to  African  scholars  seeking  it  in  the  special  issue  or  in  other  highly  ranked,  peer-­‐reviewed  journals.    

To  that  end,  the  2014  IAFFE  Conference,  held  in  Accra,  Ghana,  included  two  panels  featuring  six  potential  special-­‐issue  authors.  Five  of  the  presenters  were  African  scholars;  the  remaining  presenter  was  a  woman  economist  from  a  developing  country.  These  well-­‐attended  panels  fulfilled  the  dual  aims  of  generating  useful  feedback  on  the  papers  and  of  capacity  building  among  authors  and  discussants  of  gender-­‐aware  economics  and  its  applications  in  African  policy.    

Feminist  Economics  Research  Notes  

The  journal  continues  to  create  and  disseminate  Feminist  Economics  Research  Notes  (FERNs)  -­‐  concise,  nontechnical  summaries  of  all  published  articles.  The  goal  of  the  FERNs,  which  are  released  quarterly,  is  to  communicate  economics  ideas  clearly  and  broadly,  making  new  research  available  to  policymakers,  activists,  students,  and  scholars  from  a  variety  of  disciplines.  FERNs,  including  those  for  the  2014  volume  of  the  journal,  can  be  found  at  feministeconomics.org/fern.

Grants  and  In-­‐Kind  Support  In  January,  Feminist  Economics  published  a  special  issue  on  Gender,  Land,  and  Food  Security,  which  was  made  possible  by  a  $250,000  grant  from  the  Ford  Foundation.  We  greatly  appreciate  the  support  of  the  Ford  Foundation  in  providing  leadership  in  this  important  and  timely  topic.  The  grant  also  enabled  dissemination  of  the  special  issue,  including  author  presentation  of  research  findings  in  showcase  panels  at  the  2014  IAFFE  Conference  in  Accra,  Ghana.    

IAFFE  and  Feminist  Economics  continue  work  on  a  $230,000  grant  from  the  Swiss  Development  and  Cooperation  Agency  (SDC)  for  the  Engendering  Economic  Policy  in  Africa  Project.  This  effort  includes  publication  of  a  special  issue  of  Feminist  Economics  that  incorporates  a  gender  dimension  into  research  on  poverty-­‐alleviation  policies  in  Africa,  and  capacity  building  in  feminist  economics  research  among  emerging  African  scholars.    

In  November  2014,  the  World  Bank  agreed  to  fund  a  special  issue  on  the  topic  of  Voice  and  Agency.  The  bank  funded  a  panel  devoted  to  research  on  this  topic  at  the  2014  IAFFE  conference  in  Ghana  and  will  provide  an  additional  $37,100  of  support  for  the  special  issue,  which  will  be  published  online  by  late  2015  and  in  print  in  January  2016.  

IAFFE  received  a  grant  from  the  Heinrich  Böll  Foundation  of  up  to  €10,000  to  support  travel  grants  for  southern  hemisphere  or  European  non-­‐EU  members  participants  at

the  upcoming  2015  Annual  Conference  in  Berlin.    The  funded  participants  will  organize  a  panel  related  to  the  overall  theme  of  the  conference.  The  theme  of  the  panel  will  be  decided  once  the  paper  submission  process  is  complete.  

Finally,  IAFFE  and  Feminist  Economics  continued  to  benefit  from  generous  in-­‐kind  support  from  Rice  University,  the  University  of  Nebraska-­‐Lincoln,  the  University  of  Utah,  Dickinson  College,  and  the  law  firms  of  Weil,  Gotshal  &  Manges  LLP  and  Winston  &  Strawn  LLP,  which  provided  pro  bono  legal  services  in  a  wide  variety  of  areas.
