For Young & Early Career Scholars

IAFFE's Young Scholars Committee is a vibrant and inclusive community dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive space for those who self-identify as early-career researchers or are new to the world of feminist economics. We understand that navigating the academic landscape can be challenging, and we're here to help you connect with like-minded individuals who share your interests and aspirations.

Useful Resources for Young Scholars:
Discover a collection of guides, toolkits, journal lists, and curated materials developed by the Young Scholars Committee to support early-career researchers in feminist economics. These resources aim to strengthen learning, visibility, and connection across our international community. 

IAFFE Mentorship Program
IAFFE also offers a Mentorship Program, currently in its pilot phase, designed to connect early-career scholars with experienced mentors in the field of feminist economics. This initiative provides a unique opportunity to receive guidance, exchange ideas, and gain support as you navigate your academic and professional path. To learn more, please visit our Mentorship Program page or write to MaryBeth Bognar, Mentorship Program Manager

Academic Programs Specializing in Feminist Economics
The Young Scholars Committee has curated a list of academic programs around the world that offer training or specialization in feminist economics. This resource is designed to help students and early-career scholars explore academic pathways aligned with their interests in feminist economic research. If you have studied, taught, or collaborated with a program you would like to recommend, you can submit it here. If you are currently teaching or planning to teach feminist economics at different levels (BA, MA, PhD, certificate/extension/non-degree programs, non-academic training, etc., either full fledged or having FE as a part of the program/course(s)) consider joining the IAFFE Network for Graduate Studies in Feminist Economics

Young Scholars Online Events Initiative
This working group collaborates with the IAFFE Online Events Committee to organize virtual activities designed for young and early-career scholars. It coordinates key tracks such as the IAFFE Academy and Fem Econ 101, along with other online sessions that foster dialogue, offer peer support, and help integrate emerging scholars into the wider IAFFE community.
