Happy Friday! I recently joined the editorial collective of "Frontiers: A Journal of Women’s Studies," which has been a bit strange for someone so solidly in technical communication. Yet, I’ve found a delightful home here and wanted to share it with others! In fact, there are several overlaps including STS, new materialisms, Disability Studies, Eco-criticism and environmental justice, etc.
If you have work that fits within intersectional feminist theory, please consider submitting! I’ve put the formal call below, but I’m also happy to answer questions! Articles are subject to double anonymous review.
The Editorial Collective for Frontiers is currently inviting submissions in all areas of women’s, feminist, and gender studies. In particular, we seek to publish work that contributes to scholarly conversations on:
- Intersectionality
- Feminist Activism in Times of War and Peace
- Indigeneity
- Feminist Ecology/Eco-Criticism/Eco-Poetics
- Critical Animal Studies
- New Materialisms
- Science & Technology Studies (STS)
- Critical Geography
- Disability Studies & Crip Theory
- (Im)mobilities
…and other topics of longstanding concern to feminist scholars that are complexly intersectional, interdisciplinary, and deeply theoretical. We are also encouraging new, challenging formats and styles of production that provoke, interrupt, question, and shift theorization and practice.
We assert that feminist theorizing is integral to analyses of transglobal productions of empire, colonialism, and coloniality and thus equally key to decolonial theorizing and imagining other ways of being. Bodies, power, representation, knowledge, voice, and pleasures are central in feminist thinking and raises questions about how we want to be in relation to each other. The editors of Frontiers welcome submissions of essays, poetry, short fiction, activist statements and manifestos, notes from the field, and artwork for journal covers that represent a significant cultural contribution to the field of Feminist, Women’s, and Gender Studies.
Sincerely,
Avery
