*CALL FOR PAPERS*

*Gendered Perspectives on International Development (GPID)* publishes scholarly work on global social, political, and economic change and its gendered effects in the Global South. *GPID* cross-cuts disciplines, bringing together research, critical analyses, and proposals for change.

*Gendered Perspectives on International Development* recognizes diverse processes of international development and globalization, and new directions in scholarship on gender relations. The goals of *GPID** *are: (1) to promote research that contributes to gendered analysis of social change; (2) to highlight the effects of international development policy and globalization on gender roles and gender relations; and (3) to encourage new approaches to international development policy and programming.

*Gendered Perspectives on International Development* *Working Papers *are article-length manuscripts by scholars from a broad range of disciplines. They disseminate materials that are at a late stage of formulation and that contribute new understandings of women and men’s roles and gender relations amidst economic, social, and political change.

Individual papers in the series address a range of topics including gender, violence, and human rights; gender and agriculture; reproductive health and healthcare; gender and social movements; masculinities and development; and the gendered division of labor. We particularly encourage manuscripts that bridge the gap between research, policy, and practice. Published GPID and *WID Working Papers *(1981-2008) papers can be viewed at:

If the abstract suggests your paper is suitable for the Working Papers, the full paper will be invited for peer review and publication consideration.
