Call for Papers:
Feminist Visions for the 21st Century
The editors of a forthcoming volume (Winter 1998-99) on the future of feminist
activism are currently soliciting submissions from young scholars and
activists. Articles shall focus on a particular political, legal, economic or
social concern that is relevant, from the perspective of a young feminist, to
the future efficacy and vibrancy of the feminist movement. Articles shall be
academically-rigorous, policy-oriented and informed by both theory and
practice. In brief, the editors expect that authors will (1) identify public
policies and social practices that contribute to the continued subordination
of women and (2) outline opportunities and avenues for feminist action.
This book will appeal most to young feminists who defy Generation X
stereotypes about the apathy of the twenty-something generation and who
disprove, through their actions and commitments, the common wisdom about the
imminent death of feminism. Published articles will demonstrate the dynamism
of the feminist movement. The editors hope that each author will acknowledge
the successes of second wave feminist organizing and offer, where relevant,
assessments of the areas in which the feminist movement has fallen short of
its feminist goals. The editors also expect that each author will offer,
within the context of the specific issue she has chosen to discuss, some
overarching thoughts on the specific priorities and methods that distinguish
the third wave of feminism from the second.
Issues that might be discussed include, but certainly are not limited to:
Pink-collar organizing
Women and the sex industry
Women in the military
Affirmative action law
Violence against women and girls
Sexual harassment codes
Immigration policy
Women and education
Women and electoral politics
Health care policy
Women and the media
Environmental policy
Family policy
Comparable worth legislation
Women and economic development
Articles on reproductive rights and anti-poverty policy already have been
secured, though additional and exceptional articles on these issues will be
considered. In all cases, articles should attend to the multitude of
intersecting identities that inform young feminists' consciousness, activism
and policy prescriptions. The editors especially invite proactive submissions
that investigate the race and class hierarchies evident in social practices,
public policies and the current priorities and methods of the feminist
movement.
Please send a resume or brief CV and a prospectus of approximately 500 words
to each of the following editors by Jan. 30, 1997:
Nancy Lublin Amy Elaine Wakeland
295 W. 11th Street, 6H 6606 Honeysuckle Lane
New York, NY 10014 Indianapolis, IN 46237
Early submissions are encouraged and undoubtedly will be given greater
consideration. Final manuscripts should be submitted by April 15, 1998.
Manuscripts should be approximately 6,000-9,000 words in length and should
follow the guidelines of The Chicago Manual of Style (14th edition).
Please direct questions to Amy Elaine Wakeland at [log in to unmask]
Submissions via e-mail will not be accepted.
