Dear Colleagues,


Co-editors L. Ayu Saraswati and Barbara L. Shaw are soliciting submissions
for a forthcoming reader that craft rigorous and cutting edge content for
undergraduate students in advanced courses. We invite proposals (250-500
words) of unpublished academic work and creative work (including, but not
limited to poems and short fiction/nonfiction) that address where and how
critical conversations in women's/gender/feminist/LGBTQPAI+/sexuality
studies come into contact. Although it is not the only consideration,
preference will be given to works that adopt and elucidate transnational
perspectives and intersectional approaches.



Topics of particular interest include and are not limited to:



·       ecofeminism; environmental justice

·       organizing/activism tied to LGBTQAI+ communities

·       im/migration; forced immigration; deportation

·       prison industrial complex and state violence

·       idis/ability studies & dis/ablity movements including mental health

nonconforming (especially in transnational contexts)

·       sex, sexuality, and desire (especially in transnational contexts)

·       sex positivity and consent

·       institutionalized sexual violence (e.g. in prisons, on college
campuses, and in the military)

·       digital culture, gaming culture, virtual realities, and technology

·       feminist and/or queer science studies and scientific inquiry

·       health, healthcare, and gender (esp in a transnational context)

·       reproduction and biopolitics

·       spirituality; religion

·       indigenous and first nation thought

·       shaping the body (e.g. cosmetic surgeries; fitness; fatness; gender
expression)

·       critical knowledge production (historical and contemporary)

·       critical interventions in post-feminism, post-racial,
post-colonial, post-truth, and neoliberalism

·       resilience and resistance

·       affect theories, cultural studies of emotions

·       aging

·       race and racial formation

·       critical approaches to transnational feminism and/or
intersectionality

intersectionality
