Feminist Theory is an international interdisciplinary journal that provides a forum for critical analysis and constructive debate within feminism.
Theoretical Pluralism / Feminist Diversity
Feminist Theory is genuinely interdisciplinary and reflects the diversity of feminism, incorporating perspectives from across the broad spectrum of the humanities and social sciences and the full range of feminist political and theoretical stances.
The journal promotes:
· debate among theorists from diverse perspectives
· critical engagements with shifting disciplinary hierarchies within feminist theory
· challenges to existing theoretical orthodoxies and conventional definitions of theory
· empirically grounded theorizing as well as more conceptual work
· writing which is politically engaged and which explores links between theory and practice
· the crossing of theoretical and disciplinary boundaries
· work by feminists from all parts of the world
