CFP: Third Wave Feminism [13 June 2003]

I am seeking empirically-focused papers for an edited volume on third wave feminism. Although many of the contributors are already signed up, I am looking for already in progress papers relating any of the below topics to contemporary feminism: Transgender, Drag kings, Girl culture/power, ‘Zines, Internet, Lesbianism/Bisexuality/Queer, and Asian-American women.

In particular, I am seeking papers from a social science perspective that contain data on collectivities related to contemporary and/or third wave feminism. Please send detailed abstract (500 to 1,000 words) to reger@oakland.edu. In the abstract, clearly identify your theoretical framework, methods, data and findings and relation to feminism. Deadline is June 13th.
