Hello everyone,
I'm currently working on the spring issue of On Campus With Women
(OCWW) and am asking for your recommendations and/or submissions. I hope that you will also recommend your colleagues and pass this announcement on
to others. For those who are unfamiliar with OCWW, it is an online
quarterly newsletter published by the Association of American Colleges
and Universities that is devoted to exploring topics, issues, and
perspectives related to gender and higher education. It can be found
at
http://www.aacu.org/ocww.
The theme for the upcoming issue is Sexual and Gender Identity, Student
Learning, and Inclusive Campuses (working title). Within this theme,
we are particularly interested in a few different strands (though we
welcome your input and suggestions about topics of interest and
importance), which are outlined below. The topic of sexual and gender
identity on college and university campuses is admittedly quite broad,
but we want to be sure to include a wide cross-section of voices,
perspectives, and resources.
College and university campuses, classrooms, and residential areas, as
with many (if not most) other spaces, are often unsafe and unwelcoming
for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning)
students, staff, and faculty. Particularly as many young people are
coming out and/or questioning earlier and earlier, and becoming
politically active in secondary school, colleges are often seen as
failing to keep up. There is frequently a sense of, "those students/staff/faculty aren't my responsibility" or "heterosexism and homophobia aren't my problem." OCWW would like to address the need to shift this thinking to the acknowledgment that supporting LGBTQ students, staff, and faculty is everyone's responsibility and that heterosexism and homophobia are everyone's problem. The question then becomes not whether to do it, but how to do it.
Here are a few sub-strands we're interested in exploring:
* How do you respectfully and substantively negotiate LGBTQ
issues, concerns, and identities on campuses with strong religious
affiliations (when the aim is to create a safe and inclusive campus)?
* Explicating connections between homophobia and heterosexism and
sexism (and other forms of oppression). How are they mutually
reinforcing?
* LGBTQ within ethnic and area studies
* How to, or whether to, include LGBTQ readings/topics/etc. on
syllabi, in the classroom
* Retention and LGBTQ students (and staff and faculty)
* LGBTQ centers, non-discrimination clauses addressing sexual and
gender identity, mission statements, and other policy initiatives that
colleges may undertake
* Review of the scholarship
OCWW invites articles that address the concerns laid out in the third
paragraph, as well any of the bulleted points.
>From Where I Sit
This section of OCWW publishes short essays (1000-1200 words) based on
each writer's experience with the topic at hand. Authors for this section need not necessarily have a background in research or scholarship related to the topic. For this issue, we would like to include essays from people (students, faculty, staff) who are willing to share their experiences with sexual and gender identity and higher education, either as those who identify as LGBTQ or as allies, and any strategies and resources they have. We invite contributors writing from a range of perspectives.
Feature
The feature essay(s) (2000-3000 words) for this issue should offer a broader perspective on sexual and gender identity on college campuses, drawing on empirical and/or theoretical studies and analysis. Further, it/they should offer strategies for negotiating these issues and concerns on both individual and institutional levels. Ideally, the author(s) of this/these essay(s) should have a background in research or scholarship related to this topic.
If you would like to submit an article, recommend writers, or have resources you'd like to share, please contact me at
addams@aacu.org
<mailto:addams@aacu.org> . I would appreciate it if you would let me
know that you're interested in contributing by Friday, April 8.
Thank you!
