Abstract

The section aims to bring together research on women's movements. Going beyond a narrow interest in feminist movements, we call for papers and panels dealing with all kinds of mobilization based on the identity of women as a group. Papers and panels focused on women’s participation in other social movements, such as anti-globalization or environmental groups, are also welcome. We solicit contributions on movement claims and discourses, strategies of action including coalition making and alliances, patterns of institutionalized or autonomous action, and movement outcomes -- both in terms of policy outputs and in terms of movement consolidation. Of special interest is research on intersectional struggles, such as those by disabled women, migrant women, and ethnic minority women, and on the tensions, challenges, and potential benefits such organizing brings for the advancement of women's rights. Right-wing and conservative women's organizing, in the context of the economic and financial crises in Europe and beyond, is also of particular interest. Contributions presenting comparative research and research on countries whose movements are under-researched will be particularly welcome.
