philoSOPHIA: A Journal of transContinental Feminism

philoSOPHIA: A Journal of transContinental Feminism is published by SUNY Press and edited by Kyoo Lee (CUNY), Alyson Cole (CUNY), and Emma Bianchi (NYU).

philoSOPHIA is an international, interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal of feminist philosophy, theory, and creativity. Established in 2008, and “transContinentalized” in 2018, the journal biannually publishes cutting-edge scholarship that extends the rich traditions of transformative feminist interventions and socio-political engagements. Actively connecting and creating divergent feminist approaches, cultures, genres and histories, philoSOPHIA seeks to cultivate discursive alliances with, especially but not exclusively, critical race, disability, literary, media, and queer studies.
