Open CfP: Transgender Studies (ZS: Transgender Studies Quarterly); DL: 29.01.2019

General Issue: Transgender Studies Quarterly (TSQ), Volume 7, Issue 1; Issue Editor: Francisco J. Galarte (Web)

Proposals by: 29.01.2019

„Although most issues of TSQ are special issues devoted to a particular theme, one issue each year is a general, open-call, non-themed issue. We are pleased to invite submission for TSQ 7.1, our next open call issue, to be published in the first quarter of 2020. We welcome works of varying lengths, on any topic that substantively engages with ‘trans’ as a subject of inquiry, methodology, or field of study. We especially encourage submissions that consider intersections of trans studies with other fields of study rooted in the critical analysis of minoritized populations such as people of color and people with disabilities, that engage with feminism, challenge trans studies’ emphasis on the global north, disrupt or productively complicate the dominance English in trans studies, or which include and esteem the embodied knowledge of trans persons outside of the academy.

The expected range for scholarly articles is 5000 to 7000 words, and 1000 to 2000 words for shorter critical essays and descriptive accounts. Illustrations should be included with both completed submissions and abstracts. Submissions must be received by January 29, 2019. Any questions about the issue should be addressed to our editorial office: tsqjournal@gmail.com.

To submit a manuscript, please visit http://www.editorialmanager.com/tsq. For step-by-step submission instructions, please visit our website. All manuscripts must be double-spaced, including quotations and endnotes, and blinded throughout. Submissions will include an abstract (150 words or less), keywords (3-5 for indexing), and a brief author’s biographical note (50 words or less) at the time of initial submission. Please visit this PDF for a detailed style guide.
