The Gendered Perspectives on International Development (GPID) series is a peer-reviewed journal publication of scholarly work on the effects of international development policy and globalization on gender roles, gender relations, and sexuality. Scholars from a broad range of disciplines contribute new understandings of gendered roles and relations amidst economic, social, and political change to GPID. Individual articles and book reviews are categorized into the following themes:
GPID aims to promote research that contributes to gendered analysis of social change; to highlight the effects of international development policy and globalization on gender roles and relations; and to encourage new approaches to international development policy and programming.
Our original series, MSU’s WID Working Papers (1981-2008) was among the first scholarly publications dedicated to promoting research on the links between international development and women’s and gender issues. The transition to GPID Working Papers (2008-2020) recognized diverse processes of international development and globalization, and new directions in scholarship on gender relations. In 2020, we transitioned GPID to a journal, highlighting the esteem associated with the series.
