Special Issue of Violence Against Women
Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Violence Against Women – ‘Transforming campus cultures: Activism to end gender based violence’
Editors: Ruth Lewis (University of Northumbria, UK) and Susan Marine (Merrimack College, MA, USA)
Our project aims to examine intersectional, local, national and transnational approaches, seeking to broaden understanding of how such violence can be opposed through collective and/or individual acts of resistance.
Please email me at ruth.lewis@northumbria.ac.uk and/or Susan at marines@merrimack.edu with any questions. Abstract submissions are due 7 August.
We invite abstracts of 250 words excluding references for articles to be submitted by 7 August 2017. Authors of selected abstracts will be informed by mid September, with final drafts of each article to be submitted to the editors by mid May 2018. Please submit abstracts to ruth.lewis@northumbria.ac.uk and marines@merrimack.edu. Please clearly mark in the subject line that it is for submission to the VAW Special Issue.
We invite contributions from scholars working across transnational contexts, professional contexts, and across disciplines. In order to enable dialogue between the key players in this topic – scholars, practitioners and activists – we encourage papers addressing any of the following:
- empirical research – contributions from the cross section of disciplines studying GBV in universities, using both qualitative and quantitative methodology; ii) conceptual pieces exploring different philosophical and theoretical perspectives on GBV activism in university contexts, and
- activist/advocate commentaries – contributions from practitioners, community and student activists about the rewards and tensions inherent in collaborations with universities to address GBV.
