Feminist political science emerged in the 1970s from feminist movements in the academia and the society as a critique towards the gender bias evident in male mainstream science and its embedded assumptions concerning the nature of politics, the public-private divide and a neglect of considering women as political actors. During the last forty years, feminist political science has proved not only its worth in revigorating the field theoretically and empirically, but also in its institutional growth e.g. in establishing professional fora, conferences and publications, not to mention influence on academic curricula around the world. This roundtable gathers scholars to reflect and discuss the past, present and future state of the art. How have come to the current stage; what are the benefits, problems, challenges and gaps in today’s research? To what extent are there regional variations in the development of the subfield? Where are we going to and how do we vision the development of the field further? Participants: Joni Lovenduski (Birkbeck College, UK) Marian Sawer (Australia) Laurel S. Weldon (Purdue College, USA)
