Hi All – It was wonderful to see many of you and to hear your latest work in Florida last weekend.  Thanks so very much to Lisa Schwartzman and the Program Committee for putting together such stimulating and illuminating sessions.  Now we need to look to the future and the 2nd FEAST special issue of Hypatia.  As I’ve announced before, I am taking advantage of the Program Committee’s excellent work to present several clusters of thematically inter-related papers in our next issue, and so I especially welcome contributions bearing on the themes mentioned in the CFP that I’m pasting below.  Especially if you presented a paper that bears on one of these themes, please consider submitting your paper for this special issue.  Also please remember that you need not have presented at the conference nor need you be a FEAST member to submit.  

Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.  And please make sure your Hypatia subscription is up to date because the 1st FEAST Special Issue will appear in January 2010!  All best, Diana

Second FEAST Special Issue

The 2nd FEAST special issue of Hypatia will be structured around the topics of the keynotes and panels from the 2009 FEAST conference. Submissions bearing on these themes are welcome.   The special issue will appear in Fall 2011 and will be edited by Diana Tietjens Meyers. 

The 2009 FEAST program, which features two keynotes and two panels, will set the themes of the special issue.  Ofelia Schutte will be giving a keynote entitled "Engaging Latin American Feminisms Today: Methods, Theory, Practice"; keywords for her papers are ‘ethnicity’ and ‘globalization’.  Joan Tronto’s keynote title is “Care Ethics from the Bottom Up: Caring as a Global Issue”; keywords for her paper are ‘care’ (with emphasis on post-colonial care ethics) and ‘global justice’. Chris Cuomo, Trish Glazebrook, and Chaone Mallory will speak on environmental feminism.  Carla Fehr, Letitia Meynell, and Anya Plutynski will speak on evolutionary psychology. 

Expanded versions of FEAST conference papers are welcome, but submitted papers need not have been presented at the 2009 FEAST conference.  Completed manuscripts are due March 1, 2010.  Please submit your work prepared for anonymous review and including an abstract to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/hypa. When you submit, make sure to select "Second FEAST Special Issue" as your manuscript type. When you submit, please also send an email to Diana Tietjens Meyers notifying her of the title of the paper you’ve submitted:  [log in to unmask].  Submitted papers should follow Hypatia guidelines: http://depts.washington.edu/hypatia/submission_guidelines.shtml.
