Critical Gender Studies Journal (CGSJ) is an interdisciplinary (also antidisciplinary), transnational and bilingual platform in English and Spanish for all who are interested in exploring how gender and sexuality shape and are shaped by various social, cultural, historical, and political contexts. It also examines the relationships between gender and sexuality and other facets of identity, including nationality, race, class, ethnicity, religion, and disability. It aims to challenge the assumptions and norms that underlie gender and sexual relations and to promote social justice and equality for all people.

Theme: Current Issues in Critical Gender Studies

The inaugural issue of the CGSJ invites submissions that explore the emerging issues in gender studies and calls upon authors to engage with the following concerns:

  • How do gender relations and identities shape and are shaped by the multiple transformations that characterize our contemporary societies, such as globalization, migration, digitalization, environmental crisis, social movements, and pandemics?
  • How do critical gender studies interrogate and challenge the dominant discourses and practices that reproduce and reinforce gender inequalities and oppressions?
  • How do critical gender studies envision and enact alternative and emancipatory visions of gender justice and diversity?

We are particularly interested in submissions that address one or more of the following thrust areas:

  • Gender and intersectionality: How do gender and other axes of difference and power, such as race, class, sexuality, disability, religion, and nationality, intersect and interact in various contexts and domains?
  • Gender and violence: How do gender and violence relate to each other in different forms and settings, such as domestic violence, sexual violence, hate crimes, armed conflicts, and state violence?
  • Gender and media: How do gender and media influence each other in terms of representation, production, consumption, and participation, especially in the age of digital and social media?
  • Gender and health: How do gender and health intersect and affect each other in terms of access, quality, outcomes, and policies, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath?
  • Gender and work: How do gender and work interact and impact each other in terms of labor market, employment, entrepreneurship, care work, and work-life balance, especially in the face of the changing nature and demands of work?
  • Gender and education: How do gender and education relate to each other in terms of access, achievement, curriculum, pedagogy, and empowerment, especially in the context of the global education crisis and the shift to online learning?
  • Gender and culture: How do gender and culture shape and are shaped by each other in terms of identity, expression, performance, and resistance, especially in the context of global cultural flows and exchanges?

Languages of Publication: We accept papers written in English & Spanish.
