Call for Papers - Women Who Refuse to Marry: Intersections Journal (Asia Pacific)
Deadline: 30 June 2012

Placed at the junction of historical and contemporary concerns, Intersections emphasise the paramount importance of research into the multiple historical and cultural, gender and sexuality patterns in Asian and the Pacific—patterns that are crucial for the understanding of contemporary globalised societies, where identities and social relations are constantly being negotiated against the background of dominant narratives. Intersections is a peer reviewed journal. We use a double blind referee process where neither the author nor the referee are aware of the other's identity.
