JWG Special Issue: Request for Proposals

Special Issue Proposal Deadline: August 1, 2021

The Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education is pleased to announce the addition of a fourth issue each year. Beginning with Volume 15 (2022), one of the issues will be a guest-edited special issue. In the inaugural year of quarterly publication, Issue 3 will be the special issue; in subsequent volumes, the special issue will be the first issue of the year.

Each special issue will include 6 empirical articles that run approximately 25 pages in length plus an optional guest editor(s)’ introduction. As with manuscripts submitted through JWG’s regular process, all manuscripts under consideration for a special issue will go out for blind peer review.
