New Issue of Women’s Studies in Communication

I am delighted to announce that a new issue of Women’s Studies in Communication is now available at www.tandfonline.com/UWSC. This issue contains a special Conversation & Commentary forum on “Voting from the Margins 2016” with authors responding to the following questions:

- How have feminist, queer, Latinx, and Black voters been marginalized in the past, and how has or hasn’t this changed in 2016?

-  What images and appeals have been used to draw feminist, queer, Latinx, and Black voters in 2016? What are the possibilities and problems in this discourse?

-  What issues are connected to anger or apathy for feminist, queer, Latinx, and Black voters in 2016?

- What internal divisions or debates have occupied feminist, queer, Latinx, and Black voters in 2016?

ABOUT THE JOURNAL

Women's Studies in Communication (WSIC) provides a feminist forum for diverse scholarship addressing the relationships between communication and gender. WSIC invites contributions in the form of research, reviews, and commentary with the potential to advance our understanding of the intersections of gender and race, ethnicity, nationality, ability, sexuality, and class, as well as the articulations between gendered performances, power, and representation in public culture. Topically and methodologically inclusive, WSIC publishes quantitative, qualitative, and critical perspectives on areas including but not limited to interpersonal and organizational communication, performance studies, rhetorical theory and criticism, and media and cultural studies. The editor is committed to promoting the best work that falls within these parameters and also to encouraging the development of new voices and new projects that may challenge conventional boundaries, styles, theories, and method!
 s of communication scholarship. Feminist studies taking up queer politics, masculinity, critical race theory, transnationalism, postcolonial theory, visual culture, and public memory are especially encouraged at this time.
