The Gender and Development journal (www.genderanddevelopment.org), currently co-published by Oxfam GB and Routledge/Taylor & Francis, has been a steadfast source of essential readings in the field of development for the past 25 years. It foregrounds the experience of development practitioners, many from the global South, who have valuable experiences to share but who may face barriers to publishing in conventional journals. Since its founding in 1993, the journal has critically explored a range of cross-cutting issues in the areas of gender and development.
As of 1st January 2022, hosting of the journal will transfer from Oxfam GB to a consortium of Oxfam affiliates in the global South. Together, Oxfams Brazil, Colombia, India, KEDV, Mexico and South Africa will be the new home of Gender and Development. The consortium is committed to maintaining the journal's editorial independence, and giving voice to the work of practitioners, policy makers, researchers, and feminist and grassroots activists and their organizations, particularly in the global South. We envision that Gender and Development will become a trailblazer in establishing inclusive and decolonialist approaches to knowledge creation and management in the wider international humanitarian and development sectors.
The first issue of Gender and Development under our hosting will be a double issue published in July 2022, on ensuring women’s decent work and transforming care provision for a gender-responsive recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. We believe that this theme is of critical importance as the trajectory of the pandemic remains uncertain, and the impacts, particularly on women’s work, continue to multiply.
Article ideas are welcome from practitioners, academics and policymakers working on these themes. Ideas should be sent toGender.Development@oxfamindia.org by 30 September 2021.
