LANGUAGE: Language makes experience visible through new feminist vocabulary (mansplaining, gas-lighting, white-splaining, cis-splaining). It exposes the power-imbalances, as well as conscious and subconscious practices of devaluing experience. We welcome inclusivity and language equity. The collection will be published in English. Poetry and lyrics in languages other than English will be published with side-by-side English translations for wider accessibility. 

 

BIBLIOGRAPHY: Please include a list of suggested readings (books about social justice and intersectional feminism that inspire you).
 

SUBMISSIONS: Please email your submission as a WORD DOCUMENT to Kat Sark at ksark@uvic.ca with the subject line: Anthology on Social Justice.
 

LAUNCH: Future volumes will be launched annually on International Women's Day on March 8th.
