The special issue seeks a mixture of conceptual/theoretical and/or empirical papers. Papers which engage with methodological debates and challenges will be welcomed, as will uses of creative research strategies. We invite authors from across the globe to submit abstracts, and especially welcome proposals for contributions from underrepresented and marginalised groups.

All submission proposals should: demonstrate a focus on conferences; clearly address at least one of the three key themes; use theories/conceptual tools relating to gender, feminism and/or queer studies; appeal to an international audience; take an inclusive perspective in terms of intersectionality.

Proposals should be for original works not previously published (including in conference proceedings) that are not currently under consideration for another journal or edited collection. Formats for proposals include full-length papers (5000-8000 words) or ‘Viewpoint’ pieces (3000-5000 words). See the journal’s full Instructions for Authors here for further information.
