UGA Press Announces New Critical Geography Series, Feminisms, Gender, and Space

Submitted by Camie on

The University of Georgia is pleased to announce Feminisms, Gender, and Space, a new critical geography series that will publish cutting-edge and engaged social science on the topics of intersectional feminisms, sexuality, and gender as they relate to geographical spaces and places.

Driven by the frameworks of geography, the series is designed to nurture and publish books that engage feminism and gender studies across a wide range of disciplines, such as anthropology, sociology, political ecology, women’s and gender studies, Indigenous studies, ethnic studies, Latin American Studies, Asian Studies, and African and African American studies. Books will be of interest to feminist scholars and interdisciplinary students across the social sciences. Furthermore, the series team also seeks a wider readership with books that explore timely topics of general interest to the public. They will cultivate narrative and creative nonfiction in books about global politics, climate change, and reproductive rights. The editors are especially interested in supporting historically excluded and junior scholars in the academy that engage with social justice and activisms through the series.

“This new series, led by three pioneering scholars of interdisciplinary feminist geographies, will cement the University of Georgia Press’s place as leaders in innovative, care-full scholarship and social justice,” says UGA Press Executive Editor Mick Gusinde-Duffy.

To inquire about publishing in the series, please contact Mick Gusinde-Duffy, Executive Editor at the University of Georgia Press, at mickgd@uga.edu or contact the series editors to discuss new work.
