Feminist Anthropology has a vision of feminism that is heterogeneous, rich, and multi-disciplinary. The journal encompasses a range of praxes within anthropology’s spectrum of humanistic and scientific endeavors. We are particularly committed to highlighting the unique strengths of feminist anthropology and seek submissions that champion and innovate many epistemological and methodological approaches that speak to issues of gender equity, inclusion, and radical possibility. The journal will magnify and center scholarship that has been cast to the margins and features work that engages all fields of anthropology.
