CFP: Women and International Development Forum

Michigan State University's Women and International Development (WID)program announces the re-launching of its WID Forum series. The WID Forum publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts that bridge the gap between gender and development research, policy, and practice. Through brief research reports, project analysis, and policy briefs, WID Forum papers contribute to existing gender and development scholarship in order to influence policy and programming. The WID Forum is currently accepting manuscripts for review. With an emphasis on women and gender in the global South, the WID Forum invites theoretically grounded manuscripts with applied orientations. If you are interested in submitting a manuscript to the WID Forum series, please send a 150 word abstract summarizing the paper's essential points and findings to Dr. Anne Ferguson, Editor and Tara Hefferan, Managing Editor at papers@msu.edu. If the abstract suggests your paper is suitable for the WID Forum, the full paper will be invited for peer review and publication consideration. Only invited papers will be considered; unsolicited manuscripts will be rejected without review.
