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.

5. 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. CFP Address: The Journal of American Culture, Virginia Wesleyan College , 1584 Wesleyan Drive , Norfolk , VA 23502.

8. 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

4. (In)Scribing Gender: International Female Writers and the Creative Process Editors: Jen Bouchard (Diversion Press) Theme: The purpose of the (In)Scribing Gender anthology is to explore the creative processes of women writing fiction, non-fiction and poetry from multiple cultural contexts, in different styles, and within various disciplines. Through personal anecdotes, interviews, articles, narratives and essays, established and emerging female writers from diverse backgrounds (and those who write about them) will expound on topics such as creative inspiration, locating the muse, the limitations and liberties associated with categorization and labels (academic, institutional, social, artistic, literary, or other), conducting literary or scholarly research as a woman, cultural perceptions of female writers, female/feminine literature, feminist literature, and gendered representations. This anthology will examine how gender shapes an author’s creative process and the ways in which gender tints the lens through which a writer’s work is viewed by literary and/or academic audiences. Suggested Topics: In both academic and literary circles, specific labels (and their attendant expectations) are often foisted upon, or in some cases chosen by, female writers. One of the goals of this anthology is to begin to deconstruct these culturally specific (in terms of literary, academic and global cultures) categories, both imagined and real.
Guidelines: All entries should be between 5,000-10,000 words. Interested contributors should email an abstract of around 300 words, a short bio, and a current CV to Jen Bouchard at jtwestmore@yahoo.com by August 15, 2009. Completed manuscripts will be due by December 15, 2009.
