Women's Studies Journal
The New Zealand Women's Studies Journal is a biannual peer reviewed academic journal established by the Women's Studies Association. The Journal has a primary, but not exclusive focus on women's studies in New Zealand and the Pacific. It contains articles from a wide range of feminist positions and disciplinary backgrounds. The Editorial Collective encourages papers which address women’s experience, explore gender as a category of analysis, and further feminist theory and debate.
The Women's Studies Journal was established in 1984. From 1996 to 2008 it was published in association with the Otago University Press. From 2008 we plan to publish on this website and full text articles will also be available on the ESCO literature database.
The Women's Studies Journal is essential reading for academics with an interest in gender issues, focusing on research and debate concerning women's studies in New Zealand and the Pacific. Some issues focus on a particular theme, while other issues are broad in scope. The Journal contains a wealth of resource material, and some issues have been used as texts in several tertiary institutions. The Women's Studies Journal features:
- a New Zealand/Pacific emphasis
- Maori and indigenous women's issues
- the latest in feminist theory and philosophy
- exciting recent research
- contemplative, analytical and provocative articles
- reviews of books, films and performances
The Journal is currently calling for submissions for two special issues:
