The editors of the premier journal for emerging feminist scholars, /thirdspace/, invite you to contribute your work for our March 2004 special issue on representation and transgressive sexualities.

We encourage submissions that focus on (but are not restricted to) the following themes: monstrous women; the femme fatale; deviant, transgressive, and subversive sexualities; and future landscapes of sexualities. Explorations are especially welcomed on how these themes can be understood in the larger context of representation. Papers examining additional themes linked to representation and transgressive sexualities are also appreciated.

/thirdspace/ is an on-line journal committed to the promotion of new feminist work in all areas of study. Our mandate is to produce a top-quality, refereed journal that demonstrates the broad range of applications for feminist theory and methodology, as well as gives emerging feminist scholars a venue for their work. This journal is a collaborative effort that brings together a wide range of students and scholars from a variety of disciplines to foster a strong, innovative presence for feminist studies in the emerging-scholar community and beyond. /thirdspace/ is published electronically twice a year, in March and November.

Submissions should be original work done while an 'emerging scholar': graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, new independent scholar, junior professional (up to five years), or a similar status. We welcome submissions in English, French, German, Spanish, and Arabic; we will also consider submissions in other languages. All articles are peer-reviewed by established, senior feminist scholars. We require one electronic copy of your submission. (A paper copy should be sent upon request only.) Submissions should be between 4000-6500 words (about 15 to 25 pages), prepared in MLA format, and include an abstract and a brief biographical note which will be posted on the members section of the site. Please see our submissions guide (www.thirdspace.ca/submit.htm) for full details.

Submissions should be sent to the email address below.

Deadline for submission (extended): October 15, 2003.
