The Journal of Gender Studies is a global peer-reviewed journal that showcases original research on gender for an interdisciplinary readership. JGS publishes critical, innovative and high-quality scholarly work in gender studies that engages with the wide-ranging thinkers and movements that constitute feminist, queer and transgender theory. Dedicated to the development of original work investigating the intersections of gender with other relevant categories such as sexuality, race, class, ability, age, culture, politics, religion and location, JGS promotes an international dialogue, seeks affinities with social justice struggles, and engages with contemporary debates and developments in the theorising and lived experience of people of all genders.

Research articles that are part of a JGS Special Issue undergo rigorous peer review, based on initial screening by the Editor in Chief and the Guest Editors, and anonymized refereeing by at least two anonymous referees. Editors reserve the right to reject submissions of poor quality, or of limited relevance to our readers, prior to peer review. Authors with English as a second language may need the guidance of a first-language speaker or academic proof-reader before submitting. We do not accept papers in poor English or in draft-form. Authors should be alert to the growing number of high quality papers in this field and the growth in the number of submissions to this journal which have led to increased competition for publication.
