Call for Papers:

Michigan State University's Women and International Development (MSU-WID) Publication Series invites you to submit your manuscript for review.

The series focuses on the relationships between gender and global transformation and publishes reports of empirical studies and projects, theoretical analyses, and policy discussions that illuminate the processes of change in the broadest sense. Individual papers in the series address a range of topics including women's historical and changing participation in economic and political spheres, intra- and inter-family role relationships, gender identity, women's health and health care, and the gender division of labor. We particularly encourage manuscripts that bridge the gap between research, policy, and practice.

The Working Papers on Women and International Development series features article-length manuscripts by scholars from a broad range of disciplines. It disseminates materials that are at a late stage of formulation and that contribute new understandings of women's economic, social, and political position amidst change.

The WID Forum series features short research and project reports and policy analyses of importance in the field. It disseminates papers that are brief or at an early stage of development and that contain insights that can inform scholarship and influence development policy and programs.

If you are interested in submitting a manuscript to the series, please send a 150 word abstract summarizing the paper’s essential points and findings to Dr. Anne Ferguson, Editor, or Anna Jefferson, Managing Editor, at papers@msu.edu.
