Outskirts: Feminisms Along the Edge
Call for
Papers
Special Issue: Feminist
Engagements in Other Places
November 2007
Ed. Lyn Parker and Laura Dales
This issue of Outskirts looks to address feminist engagement
in “Other Places” and to engage with ideas of feminism that cross national
or other borders. Our aim is to explore the implications of feminist
analyses for both the societies and the women who feature in the studies,
and for the researchers and feminist theories that drive analyses. We seek
to examine some of the particular methodologies employed by feminists
doing social and cultural research. A self-reflexive examination of
feminist methodologies produces questions of representation, inclusiveness
and agency, and it is these themes we look to advance in this
edition.
Of particular interest are papers dealing with:
- Feminisms and feminists in Asia
- Discussions of the scope and borders of feminist methodologies and
theories
- Ethnographic engagements with feminism, especially among non-native
English speakers researching English-speaking communities
- Feminist movements and social change
Abstracts welcome any time; deadline for submission of papers is end of
June 2007.
