Conversations editorial

This special Conversations section is guest edited by Meghana Nayak, whose exciting vision for this project has materialized in two profound, sensitive, and inspiring exchanges between feminist scholars and students: Sayak Valencia Triana with Natalia Villarreal, and Moon Charania with Sydney Tisch. The resulting Conversations are a breath of fresh air in an often truncated arena where undergraduate students encounter published authors for the first time only through the pages of their work. These interviews provide a glimpse into the possibility of finding different, more productive, and insightful encounters, which can produce lasting impacts in the trajectories of those actively engaged with producing alternative practices of knowledge. We are glad to have had the opportunity to see this special section take shape, and have learned a lot from Meghana's approach to collaborative work, which emphasizes the importance of accessibility to transnational feminist praxis.

The Conversations section is an innovative intervention by IFJP which aims to offer space and opportunity to make strong theoretical and practical contributions to feminist debates that do not necessarily take standard academic forms. It may include interviews with prominent or early-career scholars, practitioners, and activists; narratives and short stories; photo essays, artistic pieces, and poetry; film readings; conference reports; and other “non-traditional” modes of scholarly writing.

Interested authors should submit their articles via ScholarOne: https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/rfjp. Please also upload a biographical note and five keywords. Make sure to edit it thoroughly for language and clarity, format it to correspond to the Taylor & Francis guidelines, and identify it as a submission for the Conversations section.
