Interested in Feminist Institutionalism? Or simply curious to know more about this approach – which combines insights from feminist analysis and institutionalist theory – to understand and explain the dynamics of gendered power inequalities in public and political life? Come join us at the FIIN business lunch – on Friday June 12 from 1-2pm – as part of ECPG 2015 at Uppsala!
FIIN (the Feminism and Institutionalism International Network) invites expressions of interest from FIIN members and from the wider gender and politics community – particularly early career researchers.
AIMS OF THE SESSION:
- To provide opportunity for FIIN members attending ECPG to take stock, brainstorm, and refine ideas for possible future joint projects
- To reach out to the wider gender and politics community to introduce FI, and explore common interests
- To plan the 10th anniversary of FIIN in 2016/17
- To introduce a new Rowman Littlefield International book series Feminist and Institutionalist Perspectives (co-edited by Fiona Mackay, Elin Bjarngard and Meryl Kenny) and identify potential contributors/ projects.
ORGANISERS: Fiona Mackay (Edinburgh); Meryl Kenny (Leicester); Louise Chappell (UNSW); Georgina Waylen (Manchester); Mona Lena Krook (Rutgers); Elin Bjarngard (Uppsala). For more information on FIIN, see www.femfiin.com
