Hypatia

Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy

Hypatia is a forum for cutting edge work in feminist philosophy. Since its inception in the mid-1980s, Hypatia has been a catalyst for broadening and refining feminist philosophy as well as an invaluable resource for those who teach in this area. Feminist philosophy arises out of diverse traditions and methods within philosophy and is also richly interdisciplinary in orientation.

Hypatia’s commitment to the development of feminist philosophy entails that, in all its policies and practices, Hypatia actively reflect and engage the diversity within feminism itself, the diverse experiences and situations of women, and the diverse forms that gender takes across the globe. Promoting diversity within feminist philosophy and philosophy in general is thus one of Hypatia’s core objectives.

We are committed to publishing articles that are broadly accessible. Hypatia serves as a resource for the wider women's studies community, for philosophers generally, and for all those interested in philosophical issues raised by feminism.

HYPATIA EDITORIAL TEAM TRANSITIONS JULY 2013
The Hypatia Board of Associate Editors are delighted to announce that Sally Scholz and Shelley Wilcox have been appointed the new Editors of Hypatia for a five year term beginning July 2013. The editorial office will move to Villanova University at the end of June where it will be managed by Sally; Shelley will serve as book review editor based at San Francisco State University. We look forward to the next exciting five years for Hypatia under the watch of Sally and Shelley.

THANK YOU, HYPATIA REFEREES!
The editors gratefully thank those who have served as referees for Hypatia between January and December 2012.

HYPATIA STATISTICS
A new page dedicated to Hypatia statistics (bibliometric data, submission and review statistics, journal ratings and rankings) can be found here.

Scholarship in "Animal Studies" has grown considerably over the last few years, yet the feminist insights that much of this work borrows from and builds on remain relatively unrecognized. This special issue of Hypatia helps remedy this by showcasing the best new feminist work on nonhuman animals that helps to rethink and redefine (or undefine) categories such as animal-woman-nature-body. The issue provides the opportunity to re-examine concerns that are central to both feminist theory and animal studies and promote avenues of thought that can move us beyond pernicious forms of othering that undergird much human and non-human suffering.

ANNOUNCING THE WINNER OF THE 2013 HYPATIA DIVERSITY ESSAY PRIZE
Hypatia is delighted to announce the winners in our first ever Diversity Essay Prize. The Diversity Essay Prize Committee, consisting of Ofelia Schutte, Mickaella Perina, and Linda Martín Alcoff, has awarded the prize to Anna Carastathis for her paper “Basements and Intersections.” Carastathis’s paper will appear in issue 28.4 (Fall 2013), and she will receive the essay prize of $500. We have also awarded an Honorable Mention to Jen McWeeny for her paper “Topographies of Flesh: Women, Nonhuman Animals, and the Embodiment of Connection and Difference.” McWeeny’s paper will also appear in a forthcoming issue of Hypatia. Congratulations to both authors for their outstanding work.

The Hypatia Diversity Essay Prize is awarded biennially for the best essay, previously unpublished, written by a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, or non-tenured faculty member that embodies a feminist, intersectional approach in a philosophical analysis combining categories of identity (e.g., gender, class, disability, ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, sexuality). The Prize Committee received fifteen submissions this year, and reviewed the submissions anonymously to select the winner.

NOW OUT! Volume 28, Issue 2: Crossing Boarders
Borders—of politics, identities, disciplines, and ideologies—are invoked to keep people out and to set membership criteria for those kept in. The contributors to this special issue of Hypatia on “Crossing Borders” present a diverse array of philosophical scholarship on the issues, theories, and strategies by which feminists define as well as transcend or transgress borders. They ask what can be learned by thinking about the meaning and import of crossing borders, living in them, or even destroying them. The categories we inhabit comfortably might not seem so comfortable when we realize what or who is left out—or why we are included. This disruptive move can generate powerful insights, and sometimes mobilize strikingly new alliances and solidarities. View the full issue at Wiley-Blackwell.

NOW OUT! Hypatia Virtual Issue: "Embodiment"
Linda Martín Alcoff, Hypatia co-editor, has assembled a new Virtual Issue: an open access, online collection of articles on embodiment. Embodiment has been a central theme in feminist philosophy from its early days. Our recent Special Issue on The Ethics of Embodiment, edited by Debra Bergoffen and Gail Weiss (26:3, Summer 2011), generated such interest that it resulted in two subsequent thematic clusters: “Contesting the Norms of Embodiment” (27.2, Spring 2012), and “Further Essays on Embodiment” (28.1, Winter 2013). The essays selected for this Virtual Issue illuminate how the topic of embodiment has been broached over the years by Hypatia authors, how it has developed, and what topics have received the most focus. Hypatia has been the site of some of the most innovative feminist theorizing on this subject; this Virtual Issue provides a taste of the range of work on embodiment published by Hypatia since the mid-1980s. Read the full introduction and see the list of articles here.

NOW OUT! Hypatia Virtual Issue: “Hypatia Essays on the Place of Women in the Profession of Philosophy”
Ann Cudd, Hypatia co-editor, has assembled a new Virtual Issue: an open access, online collection of articles on women in philosophy published by Hypatia over the years. To access to the this virtual issue, click here. To go straight to the editor's introduction, click here.

We invite submissions for the 2013 Hypatia Diversity Essay Prize. This prize is awarded biennially for the best essay, previously unpublished, written by a graduate student, postdoctoral fellow, or non-tenured faculty member that embodies a feminist, intersectional approach in a philosophical analysis combining categories of identity (e.g., gender, class, disability, ethnicity, nationality, race, religion, sexuality). In addition to receiving $500, the winning author(s)'s essay will be published in Hypatia.

The Diversity Essay Prize committee warmly encourages essay submissions! Please submit essays at the Hypatia Manuscript Central Submission Site. When you submit your essay, make sure to select “Diversity Essay Prize” as your manuscript type, and also note in the cover letter field that the submission is for the Diversity Essay Prize. The deadline for submissions is February 1, 2013.

If you have any questions, you can contact Linda Martín Alcoff at lmartina@hunter.cuny.edu

The essays in this cluster, “Contesting the Norms of Embodiment,” continue the challenges to traditional ethical paradigms begun in our Hypatia Special Issue Ethics of Embodiment (vol. 26.3, Summer 2011). They examine the lived relationship between the body and moral life by paying special attention to the ways that current norms of embodiment and bodily comportment produce normalizing rather than liberating ethical principles.

Read the editors' entire introduction and view the table of contents (and take a look back at our Special Issue from Summer 2011 on the Ethics of Embodiment.)

Our other recent clusters are a FEAST Cluster on Feminist Critiques of Evolutionary Psychology and another cluster on The Myths of Maternity, both of which appear in the previous issue. For a full list of clusters and special issues, click here.
