2013 Annual Report
International Association for Feminist Economics 2013 Annual Report www.iaffe.org 2013 Annual Report 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 Hunger and food security have long been central issues in feminist economic analyses. Despite a decrease in the number of hungry people, nearly one in nine people worldwide do not have enough to eat; in sub-Saharan Africa, the number is one in four. The global boom in farmland and land grabs by richer countries demonstrate the urgency of investigating the multifaceted nature of global food insecurity. IAFFE members Dzodzi Tsikata and John Awetori Yaro are a few of the researchers working to better understand the gendered implications of commercial and land transactions on livelihoods in some highly impoverished communities. Their work on land transactions in rural Ghana and the work of other researchers will appear in a special issues of Feminist Economics supported by the Ford Foundation entitled, “Land, Gender, and Food Security.” Cover photo of women in a market in St. -

International Association for Feminist Economics
International Association for Feminist Economics 2010 Annual Report IAFFE2010 ANNUANNUAALL RREEPOPORRTT 2010 A vision, a promise… providing a space for research-based activism Can feminism find a home in economics? This question, the theme of a session at the 1990 American Eco- nomics Association annual conference, drew so much interest that the eager audience spilled into a nearby hallway. Within months, the enthusiasm generated at this early gathering of researchers in the then-fledgling field of feminist economics led to the creation of the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE). From those vibrant beginnings, IAFFE has evolved into an open, supportive, and truly diverse community of nearly 600 academics, activists, policy theorists, and practitioners from around the world. IAFFE’s purposes include not just advancing feminist inquiry globally but also helping to expand opportunities for women within the field of economics – especially for women from underrepresented groups, the Global South, and transition economies. IAFFE aims high: it seeks to promote interaction among researchers, activists, and policy-makers to the end of creating better analytical frameworks, better policy, better scholarship, and more effective, research-based activism. 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 perspec- tives and advance gender-based research on contemporary economics issues. The working version of IAFFE’s mission statement, below, captures these objectives. IAFFE The International Association for Feminist Economics is an open, diverse community of academics, activists, policy theorists, and practitioners from around the world. -

The working version of IAFFE’s mission statement, above, captures these objectives. A Tradition of Member Research Lynda Pickbourn, an IAFFE member, did field-research in 2011 for her dissertation “Migration, Remittances and Intra-household Allocation in Northern Ghana: Does Gender Matter?” In her dissertation, Pickbourn examined the impact of remittances from rural-urban migrants on intra-household resource allocation in northern Ghana. The scene is a powerful display of the sense of community that holds the village together. On a typical day, these women have much to do – fetching water, gathering firewood, cooking meals, bathing children, gather- ing sheanuts to make sheabutter, parboiling rice or extracting oil from groundnuts, and carrying out a myriad of other labor-intensive economic activities to ensure that they are able to meet their responsibilities for household provisioning. Yet, they willingly contribute their labor to communal activities such as this. -
