Journal of Feminist Studies in Religion

Aims & Scope

The JOURNAL OF FEMINIST STUDIES IN RELIGION is a channel for the publication of feminist scholarship in religion and a forum for discussion and dialogue among women and men of differing feminist perspectives.

The JFSR has two communities of accountability: the academy, in which it is situated, and the feminist movement, from which it draws its nourishment and vision.

Its editors are committed to rigorous thinking and analysis in the service of the transformation of religious studies as a discipline and the feminist transformation of religious and cultural institutions.

The JFSR is also the oldest interdisciplinary, interreligious feminist academic journal in religious studies.

Founded in 1985, it is published twice annually, in the spring and fall.

Located at the intersection of feminist theory and studies in religion, it welcomes contributions that explore a diversity of feminist theories, practices, cultures, and religions.
