Call for Papers:
DCSWEP sessions at 2025 APPAM Fall Research Meeting
Deadline: April 15, 2025

The Washington, DC Chapter of CSWEP (DCSWEP) invites abstract submissions for paper presentations at two CSWEP-sponsored sessions at the 2025 APPAM Fall Research Meeting to be held in Seattle, WA. This year’s conference theme is “Forging Collaborations for Transformative and Resilient Policy Solutions.”

This year’s two sessions will be in health policy and poverty and income policy, broadly interpreted. (If you are not sure if your paper fits, send it!) Please email abstracts (1–2 pages, including names of all authors, as well as their affiliations, addresses, email addresses, and paper titles) to Bee Barnett (bbarnett@brookings.edu) by April 15, 2025. Please indicate which author will present the paper if accepted. In addition to individual paper submissions, complete session proposals may be submitted, but the papers in the session proposal will be considered individually.

DCSWEP’s goal in organizing these sessions is to create opportunities for junior women to present papers at the meetings and to meet with and receive feedback from leading economists in their field. For this reason, we will prioritize submissions where the presenting author is a junior woman. The term junior woman usually refers to anyone identifying as a woman or non-binary who is untenured, or who has received a Ph.D. less than seven years ago; but could also refer to a woman who has not yet presented papers widely. There are no restrictions on the gender or seniority of coauthors.

Duplication of paper presentations at multiple APPAM sessions is not permitted. Therefore, authors will be expected to notify DCSWEP immediately and withdraw their abstract if their paper is accepted for a non-DCSWEP session at the 2025 APPAM Meeting. Similarly, authors whose paper is accepted to a 2025 DCSWEP session will be expected to withdraw it from consideration by any other organization at the same meetings.
