1] Mother of Invention: How Our Mothers Influenced us as Feminist Academics and Activists [Full CFP]
Co-editors: Vanessa Reimer and Sarah Sahagian
Publication Date: 2014
This anthology will bring together essays from feminist activists and
academics alike. The goal of this anthology is to act as an antidote to
matrophobia and mother-blaming by bringing together a variety of
feminist narratives about how our mothers, intentionally or not, have
influenced and inspired our feminist work and identities. The purpose of
this book is to show mothers as a productive force in their children’s
development. While not exclusively a celebration, this anthology will
affirm mother work's importance.

2] Other Mothers/Other Mothering [Full CFP]
Editor: Angelita Reyes Publication Date: 2013
Other mothers and other mothering roles may be found throughout history
and across diverse cultures. Other mothers may be the paradigmatic
first responders, the first-teachers of informal and formal learnings,
or first care-givers for the formative triage years of children and
youth. Other mothering denotes the continuity and contemporary
practices of shared, communal, or assumed mothering responsibilities
that are empowering and inclusive of social transformation. Despite the
prevalence of this practice and increasing scholarship about other
mothering, an edited collection on this important and central cultural
paradigm does not yet exist. The aim of the present collection is to
investigate the history, possibilities, differences, continuities,
transformations, or advancements of other mothering, paying particular
attention to liberating potentials of destabilizing patriarchal
representations of motherhood and family structures. As interconnected
and transnational cultures are in full swing into the 21st century, both
men and women can perform and enable diverse and holistic roles of
other mothering. How does other mothering transform the language
implications of gender? How do we interrogate the roles of mothering
for both women and men? This collection will explore the fluid,
empowering and diversified roles of other mothering across cultures.
Thus, of particular interest are submissions that interrogate other
mothering from global perspectives, comparative ethnicities and
historical contexts. The editor of this collection seeks article-length
contributions in the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences
that may include, but are not limited to the following topics:
Submission guidelines:
Abstracts should be 250 words. Please also include a CV.
Deadline for abstracts: October 12, 2011
