MEET THE EDITORS

Since 1972, WSQ has been an interdisciplinary forum for the exchange of emerging perspectives on women, gender, and sexuality. Its peer-reviewed interdisciplinary thematic special issues focus on such topics as Precarious Work, At Sea, Solidarity, Queer Methods, Child, Debt, Activisms, The Global and the Intimate, Trans-, The Sexual Body, and Mother, combining legal, economic, queer, cultural, technological, and historical work to present the most exciting new scholarship, fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, book reviews, and visual arts on ideas that engage popular and academic readers alike. In 2007, WSQ obtained the Phoenix Award for Significant Editorial Achievement from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals. Since then, WSQ has continued to feature groundbreaking research and creative work by emerging scholars alongside new contributions by leaders in the field such as Angela Davis, Donna Haraway, Hortense Spillers, Saidiya Hartman, Farah Jasmine Griffin, Jennifer Morgan, and Judith Butler.

The Feminist Press at CUNY publishes WSQ twice a year, producing two guest-edited issues on themes in feminist studies per year. The general editors are Shereen Inayatulla (York College, CUNY) and Andie Silva (York College and the Graduate Center, CUNY). An editorial board of approximately fifty scholars working in the field of women, gender, and sexuality studies provide guidance, peer review support, and editorial feedback to the general editors. The general editors and editorial board solicit and select guest editor proposals for each issue. The general editors, editorial directors Dána-Ain Davis and Kendra Sullivan, and editorial assistants work with guest editors to produce each issue.

The new general editors may be reached at WSQEditors@gmail.com. Learn more about them below:
