Call for Applications:
2025 Feminist Formations and NWSA Paper Award (NWSA Membership is required)
Feminist Formations is proud to announce a new award, in collaboration with the National Women's Studies Association (NWSA). The Feminist Formations - NWSA Scholarly and Creative Work Competition is now open.
The Feminist Formations - National Women’s Studies Association annual competition will select one winner whose work will be published in Feminist Formations and receive an award of $500. The competition is open to scholars at all ranks, including independent scholars and artists. Multiple modes of knowledge production will be considered, including, but not limited to traditional scholarly articles, essays, poetry, and visual imagery. We are particularly interested in work that contributes to Black, Indigenous, and women of color feminisms; trans feminist studies; critical disability studies; and transnational feminisms. We also seek work that contributes to the journal’s mission to support “robust interdisciplinary, intersectional, and transnational feminist scholarship that can inspire incisive and politically meaningful analyses and action.”
Submissions are due by June 1, 2025 at Feminist Formations and NWSA Paper Award. Applicants must be current NWSA members. We cannot consider submissions that have been previously published or are currently being reviewed by other journals.
Manuscripts must adhere to the publishing guidelines of Feminist Formations, found at: https://feministformations.submittable.com/submit. Please contact the Feminist Formations Editorial Assistant (email: feministformations@oregonstate.edu) with questions or concerns about the submission process.
