Women & Music: A Journal of Gender and Culture is now accepting submissions for its 30th issue (2026). 

Women & Music is a refereed, interdisciplinary, annual journal that provides critical perspectives on the intersections of gender, sexuality, race, class, ability, colonialism, and other politics and poetics of social life. We are broadly interested in theoretical and methodological paradigms that bring new insight to the gendered dimensions of the production, circulation, and consumption of music and sound.

Committed to publishing a wide range of disciplines and approaches grounded in global geocultural contexts, we are especially interested in work that generatively illuminates the broader stakes of drawing analyses of sound together with current feminist thought. 

The journal welcomes 

• stand-alone academic articles (typically 6,000-10,000 words) and shorter, thematically-linked pieces (e.g. colloquies and roundtables), including those making use of creative, poetic, and expansive writing forms
• proposals for special issues
• short scores (broadly conceived) that have not been previously published.
