In the recent past we have seen an increase in violence against
communities of color and LGBTQ communities, some televised and others
completely ignored by mainstream media. We have also witnessed a
conservative backlash against models that embrace intersectional
analysis and a critical look at privilege from all sectors. Yet, we
believe feminist models are uniquely capable of addressing increasing
inequities, particularly those models that argue that we must put the
most oppressed women at the center of our analysis (see Smith 2006,
Brenner 1998, Anzaldua 1984, etc.). As such, FemTAP is accepting
submissions that critically engage models, methods, theories, and
practices of feminist social justice that highlight race, gender, class,
and sexuality as co-equal.

All essays should include intersectional analysis including the critical
interrogation of whiteness, heterosexuality, and/or class privilege
where applicable. We are particularly interested in grounded studies
and ethnographic essays but accept essays from a feminist
perspective across disciplines.

Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

1. A feminist response to un/natural disasters: Katrina, mining on
indigenous lands, environmental degradation and environmental racism, etc.

2. Reproductive justice in communities of color, working class and LBT
communities of all colors - we are particularly interested in responses
to sterilization projects that target poor women, incarcerated women,
etc., holistic projects that seek to deal with multiple-intersecting issues,

any feminist organizing around transgendered and same-sex

parenting rights or reproductive justice, and scientific examinations

of the impact of use and/or research on NRTs for women of color,

working class women of all colors, and LBT women of all colors.

3. Rural feminisms: rural vs. urban queer organizing, rural women's
organizing as specific and generalizable, rural feminists' responses to
poverty, etc.

4. Alternative spaces: women of color and LBT women of all colors
resource centers, women of color and/or LBT women of all colors
grassroots organizing, LBT women of all colors and/or women of color
organizations or retreat-conferences as alternative feminist visions,
artist collectives, etc.

5. Historical essays - examination of "unknown" or unwritten histories
of women of color, LBT women of all colors, and/or poor women's organizing.

6. Models and methods: successful cross-cultural and/or cross-class
feminist organization models, successful trans-feminist organizing,
successful rural-urban organizing, etc.

7. Confronting current issues impacting women of color, LBT women of all
colors, and/or poor women of all colors - urban renewal, funding
collectives, food collectives, welfare reform programs, parenting
students organizations, police and/or court watch programs, housing
safety and security programs, programs confronting the rise in hate
crimes, etc.

8. Academia - the impact feminists of color, working class feminists of
all colors, LBT feminists of all colors on policy, curriculum, and
organizing (please note the summer edition is on pedagogy so pedagogy
essays will be given the least importance in review ranking for this
edition but will *still* be considered; if we believe your essay would
be more appropriate for the summer edition we will advise you.)

9. DEFINING FEMINIST SOCIAL JUSTICE - theoretical essays that examine
what is or can be meant by "feminist social justice," praxis essays that
examine the meaning of "feminist social justice" and the means by which
to actualize it in feminist practice.

We accept essays from graduate students, PhDs, and community scholars.
