The journal provides a voice for the articulation of feminist and social justice concerns from a Latina perspective, broadly construed to include Latinas in the U.S., Latin America, and other countries. The journal is an online, open access, peer-reviewed academic journal that considers narrative and poetic entries as legitimate forms of scholarly feminist analyses. We particularly welcome proposals for creating social orders in which both women and men can equally and autonomously promote a planetary ethic that expresses moral concern for all inhabitants of the earth community. Perhaps most of all, the journal strives to exemplify the highest standards of intellectual and moral integrity and fairness. We believe that the true potential of feminism will never be realized unless these ideals are embraced and implemented.

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS FOR FIFTH ISSUE 

We are making a call for submissions for the fifth issue of the journal in the categories of poetry, scholarly articles, fiction, creative nonfiction, and experimental. We especially encourage submissions dealing with Latina spirituality and related themes. Examples of related themes include Latina spiritual indigeneity, Afro-Latina spirituality, familismo and spirituality, Latinx post-colonial spirituality, spirituality as a form of resistance, earth-based--rather than otherworldly--forms of spirituality, Catholicism and Latina spirituality, and spirituality and healing. Submissions outside of the thematic area of Latina spirituality will also be considered. 

The deadline for submissions is August 1st, 2021. Those interested in submission guidelines and learning more about the journal should refer to the journal’s website, www.journallcf.org
