Calling contributions to a special issue of MAI: Feminism
and Visual Culture on Feminist Pedagogies
The intersectional feminist and LGBTQI journal MAI is
seeking contributions to a special issue on feminist pedagogies. Across the
board, feminist research and teaching in Higher Education is increasingly
vulnerable to ideological attack. The recent “prank” conducted by Pluckrose,
Lindsay and Boghossian to make fun at so-called “grievance studies”
systematically works to undermine scholarly work in feminist, queer, critical
disability and critical race studies and other fields. This context makes
feminist teaching both more vital, and more vulnerable, than ever, as revealed
by open letters such as that published in the second issue of MAI. This special issue aims to explore the place of feminism in the classroom,
revealing pleasure and resistance, complaint and celebration.
We welcome contributions that address the strategies,
obstacles and opportunities of feminist pedagogy in a range of contexts from
classroom discussions and syllabi to faculty committee meetings, screening
rooms and activist spaces. Feminist teaching happens everywhere. Contributions
might range from conventional academic articles (6000-8000 words) to interviews
(1000-3000 words), creative writing (poems, short stories, creative responses,
max 3000 words), video essays (5-10 mins with brief supporting statement of
800-1000 words), and photographs, visual/audiovisual or interactive art.
Abstracts should be 200-250 words, and be accompanied by a
short bio.
Please email abstracts to MAI editorial board member Clara
Bradbury-Rance (clara.bradbury-rance@kcl.ac.uk) by 8th March 2019.
Contributors will be notified of the status of their proposal in early April
and full submissions will be due by 31st August 2019.
