Acknowledgments

This volume would not have been possible without the support of many people and institutions. We would like to thank the editors and staff of Feminist Economics for their assistance in the editing process and in organizing the workshop at American University in March 2009 where authors presented their work.

We would like to express our gratitude to the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and to the American University Office of the Provost for their generous financial support of the special issue and for making the workshop possible, as well as to Rice University, the University of Utah, and the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, which provides administrative and staffing support to IAFFE. We would also like to thank American University's Department of Economics, which co-sponsored the workshop; the faculty who contributed as discussants; and the students who contributed to the organization. We would most especially like to recognize Thokozani Kadzamira, without whom the workshop would not have happened. Finally, we are indebted to a large number of colleagues and scholars who served as reviewers of papers.
