CFP: Medusa: An Undergraduate Journal of Feminist Philosophy

We are seeking undergraduate feminist philosophy/ feminist theory papers to be published in Medusa: An Undergraduate Journal of Feminist Philosophy. Students need not be philosophy majors/minors or WGS majors/minors, and we are accepting submissions between 2000-8000 words that allows students to submit shorter pieces they have worked on in class.

Last year, Medusa published 8 articles from students across 4 institutions, and we hope to garner a more diverse body of voices this year! Check out the first issue here:https://www.muw.edu/medusa/wp-content/uploads/sites/53/2024/06/Medusa_vol1.pdf

Medusa is an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal seeking feminist scholarship across a variety of disciplines and approaches. We welcome submissions from all philosophical traditions (whether analytic or continental) and encourage papers that bridge feminist thought with other critical, cultural, gender, literary, queer, race, disability, social, political theories. Mississippi University for Women is the first state-supported college for women. In keeping with the university’s historic mission to promote inclusive learning, we encourage submissions that foster this pursuit. Here’s the submission guidelines (Deadline April 30, 2025):https://www.muw.edu/medusa/submission-guidelines/

Our reviewers are graduate students who specialize or have extensive knowledge in the field of feminist philosophy. If you know graduate students that would like to review for Medusa, please contact me [email protected].

Also, both the Mississippi Philosophical Association and philoSOPHIA have held undergraduate panels in feminist philosophy where selected student papers became eligible for publication in Medusa. If you are hosting a conference and would like to set up a similar panel, let me know!

We are also exploring other creative ways to give voice to undergraduate feminist voices in Medusa, so if you have ideas for the journal, we’d love to hear from you!
