Dialogue is designed to enhance the journal's ability to encourage innovative thought.
Although primarily comments and responses to essays in previous issues of Feminist Economics, all contributions to Dialogue will be written as serious essays and subjected to peer review. By so recognizing the value of brief and less formal essays, the journal hopes to attract contributions from scholars who might not otherwise be able to participate in debates outside the scope of their current research. Many of the full length articles published in Feminist Economics represent the beginnings of feminist explorations of economic issues. Others are written from more established perspectives, perspectives which may themselves inspire critiques or objections from some readers. We anticipate that the debates published in the journal will reveal that some economic ideas, currently viewed by many as well developed, will seem less so once exposed to the scrutiny of broader groups.
