Please see this Call for Proposals for an upcoming special issue of Feral Feminisms: 

 https://feralfeminisms.com/cfps/ 

This special issue, “Scrapwork: Foraging Feminist Fragments” will be guest edited by Dr. Amber Moore (University of British Columbia) and Dr. Kaye Hare (University Canada West). 

As we write in the CFP, “we invite short academic pieces that begin with a “scrap” from your scholarly past that stays with you in the present, because it remains some sort of feminist, critical, decolonial, or otherwise related evidence—an intriguing fragment, moment, or encounter that has lingered but hasn’t found its way into another project.” 

Please note that for this issue, we “welcome submissions that are creative, critical, multimodal, scholarly, speculative, somewhere in between, or intersect across these possibilities. All pieces should engage relevant feminist, queer, critical race, decolonial, Indigenous, crip, or other critical literatures or traditions.” We also especially encourage submissions from scholars, practitioners, artists, and those working across disciplines or from the margins of institutional research.
