ABOUT THE JOURNAL

Aims and scope of journal

Feminist Review is a peer reviewed, interdisciplinary journal setting new agendas for the analysis of the social world. Currently based in London with an international scope, FR invites critical reflection on the relationship between materiality and representation, theory and practice, subjectivity and communities, contemporary and historical formations. The FR Collective is committed to exploring gender in its multiple forms and interrelationships. As well as academic articles we publish experimental pieces, visual and textual media and political interventions, including, for example, interviews, short stories, poems and photographic essays.

Feminist Review is also committed to working with editors from around the world and we welcome proposals according to our guidelines.

When Feminist Review first appeared in 1979 it described itself as a socialist and feminist journal, 'a vehicle to unite research and theory with political practice, and contribute to the development of both'. Challenges of race, class and sexuality have been central to the development of the journal. Thirty years later, FR remains committed to these core values.

- Cynthia Enloe, Professor of Government, Clark University, USA

"Feminist Review, at the cutting edge of contemporary debates, is a lively and informative resource for students and academics in higher education across a range of disciplines. I strongly recommend it."
