This week I am pleased to be joined by the co-editors of a new anthropology journal, Feminist Anthropology, which seeks to bring heterogeneous conceptions of feminism into critical scholarly conversation across a variety of disciplines and genealogies. They discuss the creation of the journal as well as the behind the scenes efforts that make a journal possible. They also give us a sneak preview of issue two coming out soon.
