Calls for submissions
Call for Review Essays
Global feminist scholarship is flourishing, with a significant number of new books that explore feminist politics and gender relations in a global frame published each year. The IFJP Book Reviews Section provides a space where new work and new ideas can be made visible, critically discussed, and brought into conversation across established disciplinary, spatial and discursive boundaries. Our book reviewers make significant contributions to our intellectual community through identifying emergent and innovative literature and analytical directions, and through contributing to thoughtful and critical intellectual exchange.
IFJP is now issuing a special call for review essays that cover at least three recent books. Review essays discuss several texts on the same theme and bring them into conversation with each other, aiming to explore a recent debate or emerging research field that has generated a range of new publications. While review essays should be written in English, we also welcome submissions that review feminist scholarship published in other languages, and discuss ongoing debates beyond English-speaking academia. With the aim of fostering a truly global feminist community of scholars, this will allow a broader range of feminist scholarship to be debated in IFJP, and allow IFJP readers to learn about and benefit from feminist scholarship representing diverse positionalities and perspectives.
Review essays should be between 2000-2500 words long. To maximize the availability of these review essays, they will be made free access for six months from the date of online publication.
If you are interested in submitting a review essay, please contact the Book Reviews Editors: Priscyll Anctil Avoine, Elin Berg, Jenny Hedström, Leena Vastapuu, Annick T.R. Wibben, and Julia Zulver.
