About the Journal
Social Politics is a high-impact, leading feminist journal that publishes original and cutting-edge scholarship on gendered politics and policies in a global context. The journal’s mission is to stimulate and reflect interdisciplinary conversations, intersectional analyses, and international approaches. Of specific interest are debates on the restructuring of capitalisms and states as well as cultural and normative shifts in feminist debates, and analyses of associated changes for work, families, care, migration, politics, and development. We welcome theoretical and empirical work and diverse methodological approaches pursued rigorously. We encourage analyses from all regions of the world that engage issues of gendered power, differences, and inequalities.
We are looking for original and pathbreaking work that pushes forward key contemporary debates, generates new knowledges and thinking and helps us address some of the most important questions of contemporary politics through feminist writing.
