Feminist Theory

An International Interdisciplinary Journal

eISSN: 17412773 | ISSN: 14647001 | Current volume: 25 | Current issue: 3 Frequency: 3 Times/Year

Feminist Theory champions and shapes feminist debates globally, providing a vital critical forum for publishing and reading cutting-edge discussions of feminist theory and feminist theoretical praxis. The journal is committed to speaking to the broadest spectrum of feminism, and of gender and sexual politics, as understood across the arts, humanities and social sciences.

Feminist Theory is available on SAGE Journals Online and is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The journal promotes:

  • debate among theorists from diverse perspectives
  • critical engagements with shifting disciplinary hierarchies within feminist theory
  • challenges to existing theoretical orthodoxies and conventional definitions of theory
  • empirically grounded theorizing as well as more conceptual work
  • writing which is politically engaged and which explores links between theory and practice
  • the crossing of theoretical and disciplinary boundaries
  • work by feminists from all parts of the world

Interchanges
In addition to longer articles, Feminist Theory publishes short "think pieces", comments on past articles and theoretical reflections on topical issues. Readers are encouraged to respond to these contributions, thus fostering ongoing debate and exchanges of ideas.

Reviews
Feminist Theory publishes solicited review essays which set several recent books within the context of contemporary debates.
