To mark this significant anniversary—to celebrate the accomplishments of Hypatia, its founders, editors, and contributors, and to consider where feminist philosophy is headed in the next 25 years—the final issue in Volume 25 (Fall 2010) will be a Special 25th Anniversary Issue. Papers are welcome on any topic in feminist philosophy addressed by contributors to Hypatia in its publication history. We particularly encourage a forward-looking focus that draws on retrospective assessment to envision future directions: what issues are emerging, what lines of inquiry are taking shape, what questions urgently need attention, given the trajectory of feminist philosophy evident in the articles, reviews, symposia, and special issues published by Hypatia since the mid-1980s? You might, for example: identify a paper or debate published by Hypatia that especially influenced you (positively or negatively) and assess the implications of its insights, its lacunae, its impact for future directions in feminist philosophy; if you are a Hypatia author, return to a paper you published in the journal and assess how thinking in this area has changed, what new directions are taking shape; consider how, and why, some topics that were prominent in early issues of Hypatia have continued to structure feminist philosophy while others have been reframed or set aside: how has work on these topics evolved and where it can be expected to go in the future? Deadline for submissions: November 16, 2009 Papers should be no more than 8000 words, inclusive of notes and bibliography, prepared for anonymous review, and accompanied by an abstract of no more than 200 words (see the submission guidelines for details).

Submissions bearing on these themes are welcome. The special issue will appear in Fall 2011 and will be edited by Diana Tietjens Meyers. The 2009 FEAST program, which features two keynotes and two panels, will set the themes of the special issue. Ofelia Schutte will be giving a keynote entitled "Engaging Latin American Feminisms Today: Methods, Theory, Practice"; keywords for her papers are ‘ethnicity’ and ‘globalization’. Joan Tronto’s keynote title is “Care Ethics from the Bottom Up: Caring as a Global Issue”; keywords for her paper are ‘care’ (with emphasis on post-colonial care ethics) and ‘global justice’. Chris Cuomo, Trish Glazebrook, and Chaone Mallory will speak on environmental feminism. Carla Fehr, Letitia Meynell, and Anya Plutynski will speak on evolutionary psychology. Expanded versions of FEAST conference papers are welcome, but submitted papers need not have been presented at the 2009 FEAST conference. Completed manuscripts are due March 1, 2010. Please submit your work prepared for anonymous review and including an abstract to https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/hypa.

Submitted papers should follow Hypatia guidelines: http://depts.washington.edu/hypatia/submission_guidelines.shtml. ******* Ethics of Embodiment Volume 26, Number 3, Summer 2011 Guest Editors: Debra Bergoffen and Gail Weiss This Hypatia Special Issue will showcase the diversity of ethical approaches to embodiment. Despite the centrality of the body in discussions of gender, race, class, religion, ethnicity, and ability and their respective intersections, the implications of feminist analyses of the body as a ground for ethical theorizing, as the subject of ethical demands, and as the very means by which these demands are articulated, are yet to be the subject of a volume or journal issue. We seek to remedy this important gap by calling for original essays by feminists who draw from different philosophical traditions and practices to develop the ethical implications of human and/or nonhuman embodied experience. Contributors may wish to consider such questions as: How does bodily vulnerability inform ethical demands? What ethical traditions offer the most (or least) productive resources for considering the ethical implications of embodiment? How might a focus on embodiment re-align existing ethical theories and practices (e.g. medical practices and public policy)? What challenges does an emphasis upon the primacy of embodied experience pose to traditional, cognitive-based, ethical theorizing? How might considerations of nonhuman forms of embodiment affect ethical understandings of human embodiment (and vice versa)? What current bodily norms are challenged by an ethics of embodiment? How can the suffering of people who have been socially, politically, medically, and/or legally disenfranchised be alleviated by considering the ethical dimensions of the body? How would an embodied ethics contribute to new ways of thinking about space, time, and/or intersubjectivity? How might an ethics, grounded in the body, affect and transform both individual and collective lives? Deadline for submissions: March 15, 2010.

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 remains relatively unrecognized. This special issue of Hypatia will remedy this by showcasing the best new feminist work on nonhuman animals that will help to rethink and redefine (or undefine) categories such as animal-woman-nature-body. The issue will provide 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. We are interested in submissions from a wide range of feminist perspectives. Possible topics might include, but are not limited to: • non-human animals and intimacy/affection/love/domestication • gendered ethics and the politics of animal rights discourse and activism • racial, gendered, and cultural conflicts about eating animal bodies/using animals • animals and “nature”/ animals in “culture” • the significance of gender differences in the study and/or care of non-human animals • violence against women and violence against animals • material feminism and companion species • pet love and the boundaries of kin, kind, and sex • technologies of seeing or the gaze of/on sex and species • otherness, empathy, and animal care ethics • the woman and the animal—pitfalls and strategies of essentialism.

Ethics of Embodiment

Volume 26, Number 3, Summer 2011
Guest Editors: Debra Bergoffen and Gail Weiss

This Hypatia Special Issue will showcase the diversity of ethical approaches to embodiment. Despite the centrality of the body in discussions of gender, race, class, religion, ethnicity, and ability and their respective intersections, the implications of feminist analyses of the body as a ground for ethical theorizing, as the subject of ethical demands, and as the very means by which these demands are articulated, are yet to be the subject of a volume or journal issue. We seek to remedy this important gap by calling for original essays by feminists who draw from different philosophical traditions and practices to develop the ethical implications of human and/or nonhuman embodied experience.

Contributors may wish to consider such questions as:

How does bodily vulnerability inform ethical demands?
What ethical traditions offer the most (or least) productive resources for considering the ethical implications of embodiment?
How might a focus on embodiment re-align existing ethical theories and practices (e.g. medical practices and public policy)?
What challenges does an emphasis upon the primacy of embodied experience pose to traditional, cognitive-based, ethical theorizing?
How might considerations of nonhuman forms of embodiment affect ethical understandings of human embodiment (and vice versa)?
What current bodily norms are challenged by an ethics of embodiment?
How can the suffering of people who have been socially, politically, medically, and/or legally disenfranchised be alleviated by considering the ethical dimensions of the body?
How would an embodied ethics contribute to new ways of thinking about space, time, and/or intersubjectivity?
How might an ethics, grounded in the body, affect and transform both individual and collective lives?
