2. Feminisms of the Global South (working title) Editors: Sanjukta Ghosh and Patricia van der Spuy Theme: The book will provide accessible descriptions and explanations of key feminist movements and theories within the global South, setting them in their historical and geopolitical contexts, demonstrating historical and current connections. The book will focus on three regions: South Asia, Africa and Latin America. It is not an anthology, but rather it will translate difficult theoretical concepts into language that is more accessible to undergraduates. Suggested Topics: The current authors are academics teaching women’s and gender studies at a small undergraduate teaching college. We seek a co-author with expertise in Latin American feminisms, for a companion to general undergraduate textbooks in both Women’s Studies and World History. Guidelines: As currently conceptualized, the book will consist of three sections, each focusing on one core region. Each section will consist of a broad thematic overview of feminist movements within the particular region, followed by two chapters, each one providing an analysis of feminism within one particular country in ways accessible to undergraduate readers. Each chapter would be approximate 5000 words in length.

6. Journal of American Culture Theme Issue: The Greening -- or not -- of America – Editors: Jane Caputi and Suzanne Kelly Theme: At the focus of this special issue is the global environmental crisis now sometimes being faced – and undeniably also sometimes being denied. What are its implications for the culture of the United States ? America , because of its position as the world’s dominant military superpower and consumer of resources, occupies a critical role in the environmental crisis. In this special issue, we seek contributions from a range of interdisciplinary environmental thinkers, dreamers and practitioners. Essays can, for example, address an environmental practitioner or thinker, an idea, issue, philosophy or form of activism, historical or current. They can examine explicitly environmental texts, provide new readings of texts not generally understood as “green,” and/or also take the form of a “manifesto.” They can explore “green” understandings of such basics as birth, food, community, sex, health, sickness, spirituality, and death. We particularly welcome essays based in ecological feminist and transnational perspectives and in awareness of the intersections of environmental devastations with all forms of social injustice. Suggested Topics: Guidelines: Submissions, generally 15-25 pages in length, are to be original scholarly manuscripts formatted according to MLA style guidelines using in-text citations with author's name and page number. Endnotes and works cited should appear at the end of the paper. In light of space limitations, please avoid excessive use of endnotes.

11. Qui Parle Editors: Diana Anders, Nima Bassiri, Michelle Branch, Kelvin Black, Peter Skafis Theme: Qui Parle, an interdisciplinary journal of the humanities, arts and social sciences, is currently accepting general submissions for upcoming issues. Since its inception in 1986, the print journal has explored questions of language and textuality, theories of subjectivity, aesthetics, gender studies, critical theory and postcolonial theory. In recent years, the journal has expanded upon its original affiliation with literary criticism and Continental philosophy in order to feature articles from the human sciences, including the philosophy of science, anthropology, and sociology. This dilation enables even greater possibilities for comparative examinations of critical questions of concern for the humanities and social sciences alike, including: cultural alterity, the politics of visual culture, secularity and religion, nationalisms, political violence, migration and diaspora, questions of psychological development and trauma, the politics of memory, the historical anthropology of science, and modes of non-European or Anglo-American intelligibility. Suggested Topics: The publication history of qui parle is replete with significant figures in recent multi-disciplinary scholarship, including Giorgio Agamben, Benedict Anderson, Judith Butler, Hans Blumenberg, Hélène Cixous, Jacques Derrida, Michael Hardt, Alphonso Lingis, Achille Mbembe, Jean-Luc Nancy, Denise Riley, Loïc Wacquant, and Slavoj Zizek,. Qui Parle is dedicated not only to fostering dialogue and critical thought, but to introducing hitherto under-examined analytic modes, as well as hitherto underrepresented thinkers. Guidelines: Please contact the editors if you are interested in submitting an article for Qui Parle or if you have any further questions about the journal. For more information please visit Qui Parle at the Indiana University Press at http://inscribe.iupress.org/loi/qui or at http://quiparle.berkeley.edu

1. I Do Not Miss What I Do Not Want: Asexual Identities, Asexual Lives (Special theme issue of Psychology and Sexuality) Editors: Mark Carrigan - m.a.carrigan@warwick.ac.uk
Kristina Gupta - kgupta2@emory.edu
Todd G. Morrison - tgm003@mail.usask.ca Theme: Within the past decade, a growing number of individuals, self-identifying as asexual, have come together to form asexual communities. Although self-definitions vary widely, many of these individuals describe themselves as experiencing little or no sexual desire. In addition, they do not regard asexuality as a pathological condition but, rather, as a variant of human sexual expression. For researchers in the field of psychology and related disciplines, the elaboration of asexual identities and the growth of online asexual communities raise a range of empirical and theoretical questions which have heretofore gone largely unaddressed. This special issue of Psychology & Sexuality invites papers which contribute to the academic and social understanding of asexuality.
Suggested Topics: - Asexual identities
Guidelines: Submission Due Date: Feb 2011

2. Women's Studies Editors: Shealeen Meaney Theme: Transformations in technologies of transportation, an expanding economy, and advances in women’s rights legislation collided in the early 20th century, increasing women’s participation in forms of travel ranging from tourism to careerism. The 1920s saw the appearance of “Globe Trotting Working-Girls,” westward bound female “motorgypsies,” and women of the “great migration” headed north in search of opportunity. In the decades after the rise of second wave feminism, women’s participation in travel once again expanded rapidly. Growing numbers of women moved increasingly further from family homes to attend colleges and establish careers. By the end of the century, Newsweek magazine proclaimed that the average adventure traveler of the era was a 47-year-old woman.
