[Urbanstudy] CFP: Women In and Beyond the Global

[Cheryl Deutsch]

Hey all,

Please find CFP below (and attached) for this new and innovative online
journal.  This is a feminist activist-scholar network that I was involved in
creating.  For more about what we do, check out our blog here:
http://www.womeninandbeyond.org/

Would be great to have some submissions and/or blog posts about women in
Indian cities, if any of you are interested.  Feel free to contact me with
queries.

Best,
Cheryl


CALL FOR PAPERS



Women In and Beyond the Global Open Access Feminist Journal (WIBG)

www.wibgjournal.org



WIBG, an open access, peer reviewed, online feminist journal publishes and
supports work from around the globe that analyzes and works to change the
status and conditions of women in global households, prisons, and cities. We
publish interdisciplinary analyses, creative expressions (including film and
music), reports from the field, interviews, and artworks that are committed
to feminist praxis, understood as analysis and action focusing on the
empowerment of women. Our aim to break down barriers between academic and
activist knowledge by fueling activist scholarship; encouraging collective
reflection on feminist movement-building; and documenting and preserving
these activities through digital media—a critical tool in the global
struggles for women's equality and the promotion of democracy.



Submissions may address, but are not limited to, the following kinds of
topics/questions:



   - Women in the global prison
   - Domestic work
   - Urbanization and women
   - Popular education and women
   - Feminization of poverty
   - Feminist movement building
   - Women and the global food crisis
   - Survival economies and women
   - Feminist analysis of global cities, prisons, and households
   - How globalization changes lives, including sexual lives, of women
   - Globalization's affective economies

st for our inaugural issue.
