Aims & Scope
Gatherings: Studies in Gender & Sexuality is located in upstate New York in the digital journal offerings at St. John Fisher University. Formerly The Seneca Falls Dialogues Journal, which published conference proceedings, Gatherings offers an intersectional, collaborative, open-access forum for students, faculty, and the community to examine gender and sexuality in its historical, theoretical, cultural, creative and artistic dimensions. The editorial board is composed of gender and sexuality studies scholars across New York and is committed to promoting the scholarship of our region, and welcoming to all scholars who are advancing the work of gender and sexuality studies.
The editors invite submission of original scholarship in a variety of formats: article-length manuscripts (of no more than 10,000 words), reflective life writing, multimodal texts and digital/video submissions, and book reviews that might appropriately be published in Gatherings: Studies in Gender & Sexuality. We publish articles from a wide range of disciplines in a variety of styles—articles that engage gender and its intersection with race, culture, class, nation, ability, and/or sexuality. We are welcoming to the broadest range of scholars, from undergraduate and graduate students to community leaders and activists, to seasoned scholars. We welcome submissions for special issues of the journal, especially those featuring themes that meet the needs of the historical moment, the needs of our upstate region, and that prompt dedicated deliberation from multiple perspectives.
Gatherings does not consider manuscripts that are under review elsewhere or that have been previously published.
