PLEASE DISTRIBUTE
Hello,
As a new member of the editorial advisory board of Women's Studies International Forum (WSIF) I
would like to invite you to submit articles for publication on various topics, epistemologies, and
methodologies discussing gender and women's issues in Eastern Europe. Please send WSIF your most
recent research articles coming from sociology, anthropology, political science,
psychology/psychoanalysis, literature, literary criticism, history, economics, and other fields in
social sciences, humanities, and arts. Such articles should discuss the problematic of women or
gender--as well as the intersection of any of these with sexuality, ethnicity, race, religion, age,
class, or ableness--in Eastern Europe. Other interdisciplinary perspectives can include issues of
representation (literary and/or political); critical political economy, transition, and
globalization; women/gender and war/refugees; technology; critical cultural studies; women/gender
and arts; women/gender and the European Union expansion; or new theorizations and East-West feminist
dialogues.
I would also like to encourage the submission of articles written by local, Eastern European,
scholars, as well as articles written by young scholars, such as graduate students.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Denise Roman

Women's Studies International Forum (formerly Women's Studies International Quarterly , established
in 1978) is a bimonthly journal to aid the distribution and exchange of feminist research in the
multidisciplinary, international area of women's studies and in feminist research in other
disciplines. The policy of the journal is to establish a feminist forum for discussion and debate.
The journal seeks to critique and reconceptualize existing knowledge, to examine and re-evaluate the
manner in which knowledge is produced and distributed, and to assess the implications this has for
women's lives.
We seek contributions from people, individually or collectively, from different countries and
different backgrounds, who are engaged in feminist research inside or outside formal educational
institutions. We welcome a variety of approaches and resources through the whole range of
disciplines: papers geared toward action-oriented research as well as those which address
theoretical methodological issues; and we encourage historical reassessments of the lives and works
of women. We urge all contributors both to acknowledge the cultural and social specifics of their
particular approach, and to draw out these issues in their articles.
We also invite contributions to FEMINIST FORUM, the news and views supplement which appears in each
issue of the journal. FEMINIST FORUM is aimed at promoting a network among feminists which cuts
across national boundaries; we welcome conference reports and announcements, calls for papers,
notices of new publications and reports, contacts, etc., sent in by individuals or groups in the
international feminist community.
