European Journal of Women's Studies is a multi-disciplinary, academic
journal, 

committed to the publication of European feminist research, that is,
research that originates in Europe or is about specifically European topics.
The journal reflects differences in Europe between North and South, East and
West and situates European feminist scholarship in transnational context. It
represents the latest stand of gender theory and feminist scholarship
internationally, contributing to feminist debates from a European
perspective.  

The editors of the journal, Mary Evans and Kathy Davis, will talk about the
specific character of the journal and the way it has framed the journal's
editorial policy throughout its more then a decade long existence. This will
address the meaning of a European intellectual tradition, its implications
for feminism and the way in which it is formed out of relationships with
other parts of the world.

 

Mary Evans is a Professor of Women's Studies at the University of Kent at

Canterbury. Her main interest at the moment is the question of
intellectual/cultural change, with two primary focuses. The first is the
changing culture of universities and what has been described as the
'bureaucratisation' of knowledge. The second concerns changes in moral and
emotional expectations. Mary Evans is the author of various works on
feminism and feminist authors, such as the biography of Simone de Beauvoir
(1996), and a critical study on autobiography Missing Persons (1999). She is
the editor of encyclopedia of feminist theory, Feminism : critical concepts
in literary and cultural studies. Her most recent publications include Love:
An Unromantic Discussion, 2002, Gender and Social Theory, 2003 and (with
Kathy Davis and Judith Lorber) the Handbook of Gender and Women's Studies. 

 

Kathy Davis is a Senior Researcher at the Institute of History and Culture
at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. She has published extensively on
contemporary feminist approaches to the body, interaction between physicians
and women patients, cultural constructions of beauty and beauty practices,
and the political and ethical dimensions of  surgical technologies. She is
currently working on the globalization of feminist knowledge and body
politics based on the world travels of the international feminist classic on
women's health, Our Bodies, Ourselves. She is the editor of Embodied
Practices. Feminist Perspectives on the Body (1997). Together with Mary
Evans and Judith Lorber, she has co-edited the Handbook of Gender and
Women's Studies (Sage, 2006).
