The Australian Gender Economics Workshop (AGEW) 2027 invites submissions from emerging and established scholars conducting research in gender economics. We welcome both applied and theoretical contributions that place gender at the centre of the analysis and demonstrate strong methodological rigour. Papers with clear policy relevance and the potential to inform solutions to contemporary social and economic challenges are particularly encouraged.

Special Session
AGEW includes special sessions on the Economics of Violence Against Women, co-organised with CEVAW (Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence against Women), GLO (Global Labor Organization), and the Journal of Population Economics (JOPE). These sessions are organised in the context of JOPE’s "Sexual and Domestic Violence" article collection.
Please indicate in your submission if you’d like your paper considered for these sessions. Submission to the JOPE collection after the workshop is optional and subject to standard peer review.
For enquiries on the special session, please contact Prof. Astghik Mavisakalyan at astghik.mavisakalyan@curtin.edu.au.
