Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
While this year’s Global Conference on the Status of Women and Gender had to be postponed due to the Covid-19 health crisis, several papers were submitted for publication. The conference theme this year was “Gender, Politics, and Everyday Life: Power, Resistance and Representation.” This interdisciplinary conference brings together participants from all academic fields to engage in wide-ranging conversations on gender and politics around the world. While formal politics has loomed large in 2020, we encouraged an expansive understanding of political action and expression, inspired by Carol Hanisch’s essay, "The Personal is Political," which sees all relationships of power as political and connects women’s experiences, self-expression, and values to their lives as political actors and subjects. The papers in this Special Issue are representative of some of the more than 200 papers that were submitted. The event has been rescheduled for March, 2021.
