Michigan State University's Women and International Development (WID) Publication Series publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts that examine the relationships between gender and global transformation and that illuminate processes of change, in the broadest sense. Through empirical studies, theoretical analyses, and policy discussions, individual papers in the series address a range of topics, including women's historical and contemporary participation in economic and political spheres, globalization and transnationalism, intra- and inter-family roles and relationships, gender identity, women's health and healthcare, migration, 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 that contribute new understandings of women's ever-changing economic, social, and political positions.

The WID Forum series features brief research reports, project analysis, and policy briefs that add new insights to existing scholarship in order to influence development policy and programming.

If you are interested in submitting a manuscript to the WID Publication 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 Publication Series, the full paper will be invited for peer review and publication consideration. Only invited papers will be considered for publication; no unsolicited manuscripts will be considered.
