Is there a scientific feminism? Discourses of science and feminist theory; feminist science studies or queer science studies: what are the differences? What is the role of literature in feminist theory / in feminist science studies? How does feminist theory respond to the risk society? How does feminism understand the categories of gender, race, class, disability, and/or species as they are constituted and/ or deployed in scientific practice? Is a 'non-modern' feminist science studies possible? What are the essential texts for feminist theory of science? What practices characterize feminist science studies or the feminist theory of science?

Author's names and biographical notes should appear only on a cover sheet, and all identifiers in the text should be masked so that manuscripts can be reviewed anonymously. Each article should be accompanied by an abstract and keywords and a brief biographical note. Articles should be typed double spaced, with references in the Harvard Style and substantive footnotes at the end of the article. Manuscript length should be between 6,000 and 8,000 words.
