The Journal of Gender, Race & Justice (University of Iowa College of Law) is dedicated to the living discussion of feminist inquiry and critical race analysis in legal scholarship. We explore how people are classified, stratified, ignored and singled out under the law because of race, sex, gender, economic class, ability, sexual identity and the multitude of labels applied to us. The Journal would like to invite legal authors of all perspectives to submit proposals for articles to fill Volume 16 of our publication.
For more information about the Journal and our submission policy, please see our website. Please send article or proposal submissions, along with your curriculum vitae to Whitney Smith at whitney-e-smith@uiowa.edu. The deadline is Jan. 30, 2012.

The Editorial Board of The Tennessee Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice (”RGSJ”) invites submissions for consideration in its inaugural Volume I publication.
RGSJ is a legal journal designed to utilize legal analysis and interdisciplinary research to discover new conclusions that aim to ameliorate the racial, gender, and social injustices plaguing today’s society. The goal of RGSJ is to provide an interdisciplinary forum that allows individuals to discuss these topics in depth, so people will be thoroughly educated by various works in its publication. As a result, RGSJ will play a key role in framing the debate on race, gender, and social justice issues by raising awareness, offering intelligent analyses, and propositioning solutions.
Written works that will be considered for publication are case studies, case comments, narrative submissions, and articles. In the 2011-2012 academic year, RGSJ will publish one issue. Articles for the issue will be considered throughout the fall and into the early spring on a rolling basis. To be considered for the first issue, required materials MUST be submitted no later than 11:59 PM EST on November 4th, 2011. Jump to full post
