WSQ: No estamos a la intemperie: An Open Call

Edited by Ángeles Donoso Macaya and Kendra Sullivan

No estamos a la intemperie: An Open Call is the first open call issue in the 50-year lifespan of the academic journal WSQ.

The issue will feature articles in both English and Spanish, with themes ranging from drag pedagogy to Black Feminisms and humor; from transnational feminisms in Eurasia to testimonies of trans men in Guatemala.

The issue begins with the image of a warren to conceptualize the house of feminisms. The guest coeditors take this concept from Argentine feminist thinker Verónica Gago, who recovers it in her reading of Carolina Meloni’s Feminismos transfronterizos (2022). The warren or house of feminisms seeks to “shelter different problems, theoretical lines, rebellious genealogies and consistent deviations from feminist thought.”
