In 2026, Feminist Studies is inviting submissions for our News and Views section. This dynamic forum showcases concise, incisive feminist reflections that intervene in the urgent debates shaping our current moment.

We seek short pieces (up to 1,500 words) for online and/or print publication that bring distinctly feminist analysis to pressing social, political, cultural, and technological issues, including:

• Surveillance culture and technology
• Artificial intelligence and algorithmic power
• Climate change and environmental justice
• Fake news, misinformation, and disinformation
• Censorship and freedom of speech
• Reproductive justice
• Racial and gender inequalities
• Indigenous rights and sovereignty
• Sexual violence and institutional complicity (e.g., the Epstein files)
• Me Too/#MeToo and its afterlives

News and Views welcomes timely, accessible, and theoretically informed writing that speaks across disciplines and audiences. We especially encourage submissions that illuminate how feminist perspectives unsettle dominant narratives, challenge systems of power, and imagine more just futures.

Topics beyond those listed are welcome, provided they clearly articulate a feminist approach.

Please submit your reflections to submit@feministstudies.org.
Submissions should be in the form of an anonymized Word document that does not exceed 1,500 words and follow The Chicago Manual of Style.
