Call for Papers on Feminism

�The recent obsession with Post/modernity and globalization has left many caught up in a discourse of glocality and social change on the one hand and global policing and multi-national corporate financing on the other. Though recently some have turned their attention toward women and gender mainstreaming in these discourses, it is unclear whether or not this new focus on women can cross disciplinary and policy divides. Nor is it clear that focusing on women is in fact unpacking gender negotiations or employing feminist ethics.

This collection hopes to critically re/examine women, feminism, and discourses of masculinity in light of the global era. Essays can be from either the social sciences or the humanities and are strongly encouraged to be interdisciplinary in approach. There are no regional exclusions but emphasis will be placed on the global South (particularly the
Caribbean, Latin America, and Africa), Eastern Europe, and Indigenous groups throughout the world. Successful essays will be feminist (including black feminist, mujerista, third and fourth world feminist, etc.) and have innovative approaches and strong evidence.

Essays specifically addressing methods and theories for doing feminist work on globalization (both existing and positing new ones), and highlighting regions often left out of discourses of globalization are strongly encouraged�
