CALL FOR PAPERS

The editorial board is seeking submissions for Vol. 6.2 of the Journal
of The Association for Research on Mothering (ARM) to be published in
Fall/Winter 2004.

The journal will explore the subject:
Mothering and Work/ Mothering as Work

The journal will explore the topic of mothering and work/mothering as
work from a variety of perspectives and disciplines. We welcome
submissions from scholars, students, activists, policy makers, artists
and others who work or research in this area. We also welcome creative
reflections such as poetry, short stories, and artwork on the subject.

Toni Morrison and the Bible:

Proposals are requested for a contracted collection of essays on Toni
Morrison and the Bible. Papers may deal with any of Morrison's texts
and approach her use of the Bible from the standpoints of Judaism or
Christianity as well as from other religions/practices that may
intersect with or challenge what might be considered the dominant
theological discourse. I am particularly looking for a broad range in
topics, both in the approach taken and inthe texts the essays treat.
Ideally, I would like the collection to include some solidly theoretical
essays as well as some more traditional pieces of literary criticism.

EXTREME MAINSTREAM

Guest Editor, David Wittenberg

The editors of the premier feminist journal for emerging scholars,
_thirdspace_, invite you to contribute your work.

_thirdspace_ is committed to the promotion of new feminist work in all
areas of study. Our mandate is to produce a top-quality, refereed journal
that demonstrates the broad range of applications for feminist theory and
methodology, as well as gives emerging feminist scholars a venue for their
work. We also seek to make _thirdspace_ a portal for connection with the
wider feminist academic community.

Having received preliminary interest from an established publisher,
this is a call for chapter ideas for a collection of academic essays on
Star Trek in non-American (i.e. non-United States) and non-Anglophone
cultural contexts.

Deadline for proposals is Tuesday June 2, 2003, as a preliminary book
proposal must be delivered shortly after that.

This volume will be a broadly interdisciplinary volume on the presence
and perceptions of the Star Trek series, movies, and books (possibly
even other ST products) in the areas of (not inclusive) anthropology,
sociology, communications, lingustics, translation studies, history,
philosophy, cultural studies, and related disciplines.
