Deadline: September 01, 2009

Place of publication: Ohio, USA
Type of publication: print
Publication date: Autumn 2010
Published by/ edited by: The Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity

Submission of artwork for the cover that relates to the theme of the issue is welcome. The main questions are: What is the relationship between gender and racial discrimination? Is gender discrimination likely to be most severe in places where racial discrimination is also severe, or are the two largely independent phenomena? Why is that the case? How do race and gender intersect with each other to mediate access to social opportunity? By what means does the intersection of "women" and racial/ethnic "other" as identities so often result in the creation of a subclass considered expendable and exploited? More generally, what are the consequences of discriminatory behaviors, institutions and structures acting at the intersection of race and gender? What can be done? How might intersections or race and gender be celebrated?
