Assuming Gender Special Issue – Science

Continuing the success of our recent issue, Assuming Gender would like to invite submissions to our forthcoming special issue: Science. In this issue we hope to explore the intersections of feminist theories, queer theories, critical and cultural theory, literature, film studies, sociology and other relevant fields with the theories and practice of science. The topic of Science should be interpreted broadly.

Topics may include but should not be limited to:

• Animal Studies and Companion Species
• Bioethics
• Biology and Sociality
• Cosmopolitics
• Feminist Technoscience
• History and Philosophy of Science
• Kinship and New Technologies
• Queer(ing) Science
• Reproductive Technologies
• Science and Health
• Social and Cultural Aspects of Genomics
• Technology and Embodiment

Proposals are welcome from any academic discipline or theoretical framework, and can cover any historical period. We particularly welcome inter- and multi-disciplinary approaches.

We welcome contributions from academics and graduate students. Submissions should follow the guidelines available at assuminggender.com. Deadline: 1st March 2012

Submissions and enquiries should be sent to assuminggenderscience@gmail.com
