Learning, Legacy and Vision

EXTENDED DUE DATE! Feb 28, 2025

This special double issue of Canadian Woman Studies’ (CWS/cf) will focus on feminist theory and practice locally, nationally and internationally through reflection on movement progress and problems over time and the visionary movement-building and social change needed now and into the future.

Since 1971 CWS/cf has reflected women’s issues and supported feminist struggles and achievements. In the last few decades deepening ecological, political, social and military crises are revealing the patriarchal negation of all of life that underlies these threats and is at the core of gender, class and race oppressions. It is clearer, as well, that autonomus women’s, feminist and maternal Indigenous life-affirming values must be at the heart of all our struggles to resist and transform our world.

With this issue we are recognizing the 44 year legacy of the journal and honouring the memory of late editor-in-chief Luciana Ricciutelli (see journal issues). Contributions from all political generations, perspectives, communities and countries are welcome on:

• autonomous women’s and feminist engagement in local communities as well as national, regional and international contexts;
• current movement practice, debate, challenges and triumphs as well as the historical trajectory of the women’s movement and possibilities for the future in all issue areas.

SUBMISSIONS

Reports of research and analysis, interviews, and personal reflection as well as historical and current documents, alternative forms of narration, poetry, drawings, photographs and other art are welcome.

Articles should be typed, double-spaced, and a maximum of 16 pages long (4000 words). A short (50 word) abstract of the article and a brief biographical note must accompany each submission. We give preference to previously unpublished material. Where possible, submit graphics or photographs to accompany your article. Please note CWS/cf reserves the right to edit manuscripts with respect to length and clarity, and in conformity with our house style.
