CFP: Feminist Pedagogies – special issue of MAI: Feminism and Visual Culture

Calling contributions to a special issue of MAI: Feminism and Visual 
Culture on *Feminist Pedagogies*

The intersectional feminist and LGBTQI journal /MAI/ is seeking 
contributions to a special issue on feminist pedagogies. Across the 
board, feminist research and teaching in Higher Education is 
increasingly vulnerable to ideological attack. The recent “prank” 
conducted by Pluckrose, Lindsay and Boghossian to make fun at so-called 
“grievance studies” systematically works to undermine scholarly work in 
feminist, queer, critical disability and critical race studies and other 
fields. This context makes feminist teaching both more vital, and more 
vulnerable, than ever, as revealed by open letters such as that 
published in the second issue of MAI. 
<https://maifeminism.com/collective-letter-in-support-of-feminist-pedagogy/> 
This special issue aims to explore the place of feminism in the 
classroom, revealing pleasure and resistance, complaint and celebration.

We welcome contributions that address the strategies, obstacles and 
opportunities of feminist pedagogy in a range of contexts from classroom 
discussions and syllabi to faculty committee meetings, screening rooms 
and activist spaces. Feminist teaching happens everywhere. Contributions 
might range from conventional academic articles (6000-8000 words) to 
interviews (1000-3000 words), creative writing (poems, short stories, 
creative responses, max 3000 words), video essays (5-10 mins with brief 
supporting statement of 800-1000 words), and photographs, 
visual/audiovisual or interactive art.

Abstracts should be 200-250 words, and be accompanied by a short bio. 
Please email abstracts to /MAI /editorial board member Clara 
Bradbury-Rance ((clara.bradbury-rance /at/ kcl.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(clara.bradbury-rance /at/ kcl.ac.uk)>) by 8th March 2019. Contributors 
will be notified of the status of their proposal in early April and full 
submissions will be due by 31st August 2019 (see here 
<https://maifeminism.com/submissions/> for guidelines).
