In the past twenty years the entire field of development has come under critical academic and activist scrutiny. In the field, the structural adjustment crisis of the early 1980s forced development theorists to reassess the wisdom of basing development programs solely on economic theory. This special issue of "Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society," is the result of efforts to create new sites from which to think about development issues, actual spaces/places across the globe where new development practices are unfolding: primary, under-graduate, and graduate classrooms, biology laboratories and professional ethics committees.
