CfP Querelles. Yearbook for Women's and Gender Studies

Querelles. Yearbook for Women's and Gender Studies invites contributions
for Vol. 16(2011)

Submission Deadline: August 31st 2011

Topic: Multi-directional Transfers. Internationalization of Gender Studies

Edited by Doerte Segebart, Berlin, and Doris Wastl-Walter, Bern

Internationality is one of the almost unquestioned qualities of modern
academia, another “excellence criterion" next to innovation, visibility,
interdisciplinarity, and equal opportunity. Internationalization can be
just another criterion that must be met or it might increase the
pressure that so many already feel. However, it is possible that it
offers chances and risks that have yet to be sufficiently discussed.
Gender research and those various institutions working in the field of
gender studies are also involved in internationalization debates or
processes. Although the internationalization of gender studies is an
important step towards the discussion and application of feminist
approaches and practices on local, regional, national, and/or global
levels, its impacts remain under-researched.
Vol. 16(2011) of the Yearbook is addressed to these problems.
Contributions from all disciplines and all areas are welcome.

With this edition the Yearbook also implements another innovation: the
conversion to an open access periodical. This process is financially
supported by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft.
