It is over 10 years since we started developing a feminist institutionalism in workshops and conferences leading to the creation of FIIN (Feminism and Institutionalism International Network - see www.femfiin.com for details).  A great deal has happened since then, including the publication of Gender, Politics and Institutions: Towards a Feminist Institutionalism edited by Mona Lena Krook and Fiona Mackay, and the establishment of a 5 year ERC Advanced Grant ‘Understanding Institutional Change: A Gender Perspective (UIC)’ (for further details of UIC see www.manchester.ac.uk/uic). 

 

This International Conference to be held 3-4 April 2017 will be the final event for the UIC Project.  The overall aims of the conference are: to take stock of where we are; bring together the latest research – empirical and theoretical - that is both using and developing gendered institutional analyses; and to discuss future research agendas for the gendered analysis of institutions, institutional change and feminist institutionalism.
