The Journal of Feminist Scholarship is edited at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth by Anupama Arora (Executive Editor), Anna M. Riley (Executive Editor), and Heather M. It is published through the generous support from the College of Arts and Sciences at UMass Dartmouth and the University of Rhode Island. The editors conceive the mission of the JFS as an exploration of the state of feminis

t scholarship at the turn of the new century, and we see this endeavor as part of a larger question of where feminism itself is heading. We wish to encourage a discussion of feminist thought for the twenty-first century. What are its directions today, and what relationship does it sustain with the foundations laid down by feminist inquiry and action in earlier centuries? We aim to publish work that explores the multiple theoretical paradigms and political agendas of contemporary and historical feminist scholarship and the potential intersections and tensions between these paradigms and agendas. We are especially interested in examining productive controversies and divergences between transnational contexts of feminism. We also welcome submissions that focus on feminist pedagogies and activism. Publishing the journal online means that we are able to offer open access to its contents to feminist scholars anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection. It also has an immediacy that allows us to publish articles on topics that are in the here and now and to significantly shorten the time lag from submission to publication for our contributors.

Our Story

The Journal of Feminist Scholarship is currently published through a collaborative feminist relationship between the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth and the University of Rhode Island. Anupama Arora, Anna M. Klobucka, Erin K. Krafft, Jeannette E. Riley, and Heather M. Turcotte (Executive Editor) are its current editors.

JFS began at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth by Catherine Villanueva Gardner, Anna M. Klobucka, and Jeannette E. Riley through the Department of Women's and Gender Studies and the generous support from the College of Arts and Sciences at UMass Dartmouth. The founding editors conceived the mission of JFS as an exploration of the state of feminist scholarship at the turn of the new century, and we see this endeavor as part of a larger question of where feminism itself is heading.

We continue to encourage a discussion of feminist thought for the twenty-first century. What are its directions today, and what relationship does it sustain with the foundations laid down by feminist inquiry and action in earlier centuries? We aim to publish work that explores the multiple theoretical paradigms and political agendas of contemporary and historical feminist scholarship and the potential intersections and tensions between these paradigms and agendas. We are especially interested in examining productive controversies and divergences between transnational contexts of feminism. We also welcome submissions that focus on feminist pedagogies and activism. We are a “double-anonymous” p*er reviewed journal and publishing online means that we are able to offer open access to its contents to feminist scholars anywhere in the world where there is an internet connection. It also has an immediacy that allows us to publish articles on topics that are in the here and now and to significantly shorten the time lag from submission to publication for our contributors.
