The new Journal of Feminist Scholarship is now online
The Journal of Feminist Scholarship is a new online journal. It aims ” to offer an open-access academic forum for the publication of innovative, peer-reviewed feminist scholarship across the disciplines and to encourage productive debates among scholars and activists interested in examining methodological directions and political contexts and ramifications of feminist inquiry.” The enterprising editors are Catherine Villanueva Gardner, Anna M. Klobucka, and Jeannette E. Riley at the University of Massachusetts. Here is a link to my own short piece in the inaugural issue’s round table on “Feminism and Feminist Scholarship Today.”
