Description:
Women's Studies International Forum (formerly
Women's Studies International Quarterly, established in 1978) is a bimonthly
journal to aid the distribution and exchange of
feminist research in the multidisciplinary,
international area of
women's
studies and in feminist research in other disciplines. The policy of the journal is to establish a feminist forum for discussion
and debate.
The journal seeks to critique and reconceptualize existing knowledge, to examine and re-evaluate the manner in which
knowledge is produced and distributed, and to assess the implications this has for women's lives.
We seek contributions from people,
individually or collectively, from different countries and different backgrounds, who are engaged in feminist research inside or outside
formal educational institutions. We welcome a variety of approaches and resources through the whole range of disciplines: papers geared
toward action-oriented research as well as those which address theoretical methodological issues; and we encourage historical reassessments
of the lives and works of women. We urge all contributors both to acknowledge the cultural and social specifics of their particular approach,
and to draw out these issues in their articles.
We also invite conference reports and announcements, calls for papers, notices of
new publications and reports, contacts, etc., sent in by individuals or groups in the international feminist community.
