About the magazine

Feminist Formations is a scholarly journal that has been a vital forum for feminist interdisciplinary inquiry since its founding in 1988 as the NWSA Journal. Published by Johns Hopkins University Press, the journal is committed to publishing work that interrogates power, privilege, and oppression through intersectional and transnational lenses. Its core mission is to advance feminist scholarship that is theoretically rigorous, methodologically innovative, and politically engaged, fostering dialogue across disciplines and between academics and activists.

The journal welcomes submissions that push the boundaries of feminist thought. While there is no single formula for acceptance, successful articles often combine theoretical sophistication with grounded analysis, and they engage meaningfully with existing feminist debates. Prospective authors should consult recent issues to understand the journal's tone and scope. Submissions undergo rigorous peer review, so authors should allow ample time for revision. The journal is particularly interested in work that addresses intersectionality, transnational feminisms, and the politics of knowledge production. For general calls, such as the 2026 General CFP, follow the guidelines on the website and submit via the online portal. Queries about fit can be directed to the editors, but full manuscripts are required for consideration.
