3. 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.
Please send an extended abstract of between 1500 and 2000 words, in which you provide an overview of key feminist movements and theories in Latin America, setting them in their historical and geopolitical contexts, with reference to the particular foci of the second and third chapters. This would ideally form the basis of the broad thematic overview chapter on Latin America. The extended abstract should be submitted via email by January 30th, 2008. We will respond before February 28th. Submissions should be emailed as attachments in Word (2003). Please email us with any questions; we envisage the third author as a full participant in this process.

5. Journal of International Women's Studies Editors: Diana Fox, Executive Editor
Suzanne Baker, Book Review Editor Theme: The Journal of International Women's Studies (JIWS) is currently accepting book reviews for possible publication. JIWS is an on-line, open-access, peer reviewed journal that provides a forum for scholars, activists, and students to explore the relationship between feminist theory and various forms of organizing. The journal seeks both multidisciplinary and cross-cultural perspectives. Through its diverse collection, the journal aims to create an opportunity for building bridges across the conventional divides of scholarship and activism; "western" and "third world" feminisms; professionals and students; men and women. Suggested Topics: JIWS accepts book review submissions that have not been previously published or that are not currently under consideration by other journals or publications. Book review articles may vary and range from 1,000 to 2,500 words. For further information on the style and content required for the books reviews, please see website.

Contact: Suzanne Baker Telephone: Suzanne Baker
6. Negotiating space, confronting contradictions: How human rights activists find a place inside/outside the movement Editors: Karen Morgaine Theme: This book will be a collection of writings by human rights activists exploring issues such as legitimizing human rights, mobilizing grassroots in the shadow of the UN, the public/private split in human rights, pragmatism versus ideology, voices of marginalized groups within the human rights arena, and openings for constructive critique. Both within and beyond the US, human rights activists confront contradictions in the human rights field; faced with these contradictions, how do they negotiate space—physical, emotional, and ethical space that allows them to engage in activism? Suggested Topics: Legitimizing human rights in a state in which human rights are not seen as a relevant issue—particularly in the United States
Guidelines: Papers should range between 10-20 pages (5,000-10,000 words), although there is some flexibility with length. Papers need to be in English, preferably in Word or rich text format. Please include a short bio paragraph also. I will be submitting the full book proposal in early January and have targeted a number of possible publishing venues. I hope to have a number of submissions/submission ideas at that point and will continue to collect submissions throughout the first 3-6 months of 2008. If you have thoughts or ideas you would like to discuss with me, please feel free to email or call. CFP Address: Karen Morgaine

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

1. South to a Queer Place: An Interdisciplinary Collection of Queer Lives and Southern Sensibilities Editors: Theme: Announcing an interdisciplinary collection of narratives, tentatively entitled South to a Queer Place: An Interdisciplinary Collection of Queer Lives and Southern Sensibilities, set in the context of the queer South. Essays will be explorations of queer Southernness and Southern queerness. Creative contributions, including personal accounts, oral histories, feminist theory, queer theory, etc., are welcome. Although no one specific methodology or theoretical approach is preferred, essays should 1) critically and carefully examine possible mutually-constitutive intersections of sexuality and Southern place by exploringone’s own relationship to the South and then self-identify in whatever ways seem meaningful and 2) comment upon Southern queerness within larger social, cultural, political, religious, economic, etc., contexts. This call for proposals resists defining or delimiting queer; however, authors may find discussions of queerness in Warner (1993), Jagose (1996), Howard (1999), Wilchins (2004), and Whitlock (2007), for example, helpful to their own conceptualizations. Suggested Topics: The South is a place with multiple stratifications. It is a contested site, where race, class, gender, religion, and sexuality interact continually and comprehensively, having implications that transcend regional boundaries and play out in a range of public arenas—politics, media, religion, arts. Likewise, identification with Southern place will be varied, ranging from attachment to ambivalence, from fondness to contempt. Voices of lesbian, gay, transgendered, and bisexual people who were raised and perhaps choose to remain on these landscapes add layers of complication, complexity, and meanings. This anthology will be a place of storied lives, where greater understanding may be had of what it means to be Southern and queer. The collection will range across academic disciplines and will be a resource for scholars and students in queer studies, American Studies, women’s studies, multicultural studies, among others; it will also be of interest to the general public. Guidelines: Submissions should include a 3-4 paragraph description of the proposed essay, including information on aims, methodological approach, and the proposed submission’s fit within the scope of the collection. To submit a proposal and/or for more information, please contact Ugena Whitlock, ruwhitlock@yahoo.com. Proposals should be submitted in the body of an email or as a separate Word attachment by September 1, 2008. CFP Address: 683 Presidential Dr.

1. Queering Parenting Editors: Susan Driver and Zoë Newman Theme: A proliferation of experientially based essays, media stories, documentary films, television profiles, photographic essays and do-it-yourself manuals featuring lesbian mothers and gay dads have emerged to mark out cultural discourses in which to understand lesbian and gay families. But while these images and narratives enable positive representations that counter invisibility and marginalization, they often work to delimit transformative mode of thinking and acting beyond normalizing categories. For LGBTTT2Q communities in Canada, the US, and Europe, family has been a site of struggle and invisibility, and has also been constructed as a site of transformation and pride, sometimes with the result that we have sidelined interrogations of how ‘queer families’ are normative and exclusionary. It is those troubling, ambiguous and unintelligible subjects that do not fit neatly into parental discourses that need to enter into public dialogues as part of a comprehensive project of queering parenting. Suggested Topics: We hope to include a range of styles of academic writing, and encourage interdisciplinary modes of analysis. The following topics interest us but they do not exhaust the horizon of our search:
Guidelines: All papers must be MLA format (7000 word limit). Please submit inquiries and complete essays to both: sdriver@yorku.ca and znewman@yorku.ca CFP Address: Association for Research on Mothering (ARM)
