Call for dissertation précis

Gender, Place and Culture is committed to promoting scholarship in feminist geography. As part of this commitment the journal publishes doctoral dissertation précis. As part of the feminist geography community, we seek to celebrate this academic work written by students who have laboured long and hard to complete their studies. By honoring these accomplishments, the journal can show how students engaging with feminist geography are building the future of the discipline.

Submissions will be considered on a competitive basis. Each précis will undergo a vetting process by the Managing Editor. Successful submissions will join the queue for publication.

We seek original pieces of writing of about 1500 words (including references) that summarize a recently defended dissertation. Rather than publishing the abstracts submitted with the dissertation, we request that authors write a different piece summarizing the dissertation in a way that highlights the contributions to feminist geography. We request that the abstract accompanying the dissertation be submitted alongside the newly written précis. We also request that a set of five to seven key words accompany the submission. Please refer to our guidance notes posted on the publisher’s website under ‘Information for Authors’ for further information on dissertation précis.

The Editors invite authors to submit précis of their dissertations through Routledge’s Submission Portal. Dissertations defended in 2020 to 2022 are now being accepted.

On behalf of the Editors of Gender, Place and Culture Lena Grip, Managing Editor.
