WSQ: Women's Studies Quarterly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Since 1972 WSQ: Women's Studies Quarterly has been an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of emerging perspectives on women, gender, and sexuality. The academic journal is published by the The Feminist Press at the CUNY Graduate Center. Following Feminist Studies and founded only two months later, WSQ is the oldest, continuing women's studies journal.
Along with scholarship from multiple disciplines, it showcases fiction and creative nonfiction, poetry, and the visual arts. “Alerts and Provocations” informs readers about immediate political crises affecting women. “Classics Revisited” rereads a major text of women’s studies, with a response by the original author. Book reviews and essays inform readers about recent work in the field. Its interdisciplinary special issues focus on such topics as Activisms, The Sexual Body, Envy, The Global and the Intimate, and in forthcoming issues Witness, Trans, and Technologies, combining psychoanalytic, legal, queer, cultural, technological, and historical work to present the most exciting new scholarship on ideas that engage popular and academic readers alike.[1]
WSQ is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal published in June and December. The new general editors are Victoria Pitts-Taylor, Professor of Sociology, and Talia Schaffer, Professor of English. The previous general editors are Cindi Katz and Nancy K. Miller, under whose leadership WSQ won the CELJ 2007 Phoenix Award for Significant Editorial Achievement.
