Joyce Trebilcot, 1933-2009

It is with regret that we report the sad news of Joyce Trebilcot's death on May 27, 2009. Joyce was a founding member of the Hypatia Editorial Board when the first issue of the journal went to press in 1986, and she joined the Associate Editors the following year. She served as an AE until 2003.  Her contributions to feminist philosophy and to Hypatia are enormous; we'll have a chance to recognize them at the 25th anniversary conference next fall. For now, here is a link to Joyce's obituary.

New Publisher, New Technologies

We’re happy to announce that Hypatia is now published by Wiley-Blackwell. This new partnership is opening up a number of new possibilities for Hypatia. Here are the highlights.

Online electronic contents: All past issues of Hypatia are available, in one place and in searchable format, through Wiley-Blackwell’s online offering of electronic contents.

Electronic submission and review system Manuscript Central: Hypatia has now implemented this online system for handling the editorial process. Authors may now submit their manuscripts electronically and monitor the status of their submissions as they go through the review process. Referees now have online access to manuscripts they agree to review and can submit their reports and recommendations electronically. To set up your Manuscript Central account, please follow this link:

EarlyView: Articles accepted for publication in Hypatia will be available through Wiley-Blackwell’s EarlyView system as soon as they’ve been copy-edited and typeset – well before publication of the print issue.

Supplementary content: Authors of accepted manuscripts may now supplement their articles with graphics, text, links, or other background material that will appear online. For details and submission guidelines, please follow this link:

New Hypatia Website: Wiley-Blackwell is in the process of developing a new web platform that they plan to launch next summer. This will make possible a number of other web-based initiatives that we have in view for Hypatia. We’ll be able to post news of upcoming articles and issues, assemble key contents in “virtual issues,” and host interactive discussion boards. Here is the link to our interim website; we’ll keep you posted as the new site takes shape.

Circulation: Make Sure Your Library Subscribes to Hypatia

In addition to giving Hypatia a strong profile in both philosophy and feminist studies, Wiley-Blackwell has an impressive international distribution network and is committed to making Hypatia inexpensively available to scholars in the developing world. But we also need to build our circulation at home. Please check to make sure that your library has a current subscription to Hypatia through Wiley-Blackwell. If not, we’d be grateful if you’d follow either of these two library recommendation links, and also contact your serials acquisition librarian directly.

Hypatia Turns Twenty-Five

Announcing a 25th Anniversary Conference and Special Issue:
Feminist Legacies / Feminist Futures

Hypatia has been published as an independent journal of feminist philosophy since 1986; Volume 25 will appear in 2010. 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 twenty-five years—the current editors will host a Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Conference at the University of Washington in the fall of 2009 (October 22-24), and the final issue of Volume 25 (Fall 2010) will be designated a Special Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Issue. 

Submissions are welcome, for both the conference and the Special Issue, on any topic in feminist philosophy addressed by contributors to Hypatia in its publication history. We 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 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 implications 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 set the agenda for 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?

25th Anniversary Conference: October 22–24, 2009
Simpson Center for the Humanities, University of Washington
Deadline for conference abstracts: June 1, 2009
Please submit a 1–2 page (250–500 word) abstract for your proposed paper to conf25@u.washington.edu, clearly identified as a Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Conference submission.

25th Anniversary Special Issue: To appear as the final issue of Volume 25 (Fall 2010)
Deadline for special issue submissions: November 16, 2009
Please submit a manuscript clearly identified as a Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Special Issue submission to the Hypatia editorial office; see the submission guidelines for instructions. Special Issue submissions need not originate in the conference.
