Call for Papers
Feminist Theory
Special Issue:
Feminist Theory and/of Science
Guest Editor: Susan M. Squier
Articles are invited that consider the relations between feminist
theory and science, as well as feminist theories of science. Essays
may vary in subject area and methodology. Literary, historical,
and/or visual and cultural studies approaches, sociological and
anthropological approaches, as well as perspectives from the
scientific disciplines, are encouraged. Possible subjects of
exploration include: feminist theory and the biological body and
brain; the limits of materiality; the limits of social construction;
feminist theories of information and communication technology (ICT);
is there a feminist science? Is there a scientific feminism?
Discourses of science and feminist theory; feminist science studies
or queer science studies: what are the differences? What is the role
of literature in feminist theory / in feminist science studies? How
does feminist theory respond to the risk society? How does feminism
understand the categories of gender, race, class, disability, and/or
species as they are constituted and/ or deployed in scientific
practice? Is a 'non-modern' feminist science studies possible? What
are the essential texts for feminist theory of science? What
practices characterize feminist science studies or the feminist
theory of science?
Feminist Theory is a peer-reviewed journal and all articles will be

Harvard Style and substantive footnotes at the end of the article.
