We are looking for contributions of between 500 and 1,000 words on issues concerned with the maternal from those working across different knowledge and practice communities including, but not limited to:

Feminism
Psychoanalysis
Gender, Sexuality and Queer Studies
Sociology
Anthropology
Science and Technology Studies
Philosophy
History
Visual and Performance Art
Linguistics
Literature

We welcome a range of writing styles and formats, and are looking for blog entries that will stimulate lively scholarly debate. Visual medias should be preceded by a short introduction. We encourage submissions from graduate students and hope to create a space where people can try out emerging ideas and respond to current issues surrounding the maternal, whether in current affairs, policy, the arts or academia.

Submission process

Submissions should be sent to mamsie@bbk.ac.uk, along with a short biography and contact information. Once received, your submission will be sent to two of the reviewers from the editorial collective. If the piece is selected for entry on the blog, it will undergo some light copy-editing and we will also request a photograph of the author to accompany the piece. You will receive an answer within two weeks.
