The Journal

Feminist Formations publishes three times a year—spring, fall, and winter. It is available both in hard copy and electronically through Project MUSE. Each issue features essays focusing on transnational feminist thought and practice, the cultural and social politics of gender and sexuality, historical and contemporary studies of gendered experience, agency, and activism, and other established and emerging lines of feminist inquiry of social relations. Our essays, book reviews, poetry and cover art provide readers with critical and cutting-edge scholarship and cultural production. We especially welcome work that disrupts and intervenes in rhetorics of hate, fear, and panic, while foregrounding the mutually constitutive interplay of race, gender, sexuality, nation, class, and (dis)ability.
