New JIWS Special Issue: Islam and Gender in Asia and the Diaspora: Call for Papers
This Special Issue of the Journal of International Women’s Studies (JIWS) solicits articles on Islam and Gender with a focus on Asia. Submissions will address women’s lives, gender dynamics and Muslim women’s movements, including both formal movements and subtle, informal, everyday acts of resistance. The special issue will include a broad range of discussions on how Muslim women strategise and negotiate their lives and/or movements to accommodate and/or resist Islamic dominance in terms of the nation state, constitutions and dominant cultural norms. We are seeking articles that tackle the
above stated issues, specifically covering the regions of Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Indonesia, Southeast Asia and any Muslim demographic from the pertinent region as well as the diaspora, including refugee populations.
Scholars and activists are invited to submit unpublished manuscripts that are currently not under review. Please consult the JIWS web site: http://www.bridgew.edu/SoAS/jiws/submit.htm
For submission guidelines including length, format and bibliographical/ referencing styles. Forward all submissions via email
