Women & Language, an international interdisciplinary research periodical, provides a feminist forum focused on issues of gender, communication, and language. W&L accepts submissions of scholarly articles that make conceptual and research contributions to the study of communication, language, and gender. Essays on current issues in the field as well as book reviews and reviews of digital media are welcome.
Women & Language is published by the Humanities Department at Michigan Technological University. W&L is affiliated with the Organization for the Study of Communication Language and Gender (OSCLG). OSCLG provides a forum for interdisciplinary discussion and presentation of theory, research, creative projects, and pedagogy in the areas of communication, language and gender, and promotes recognition of those doing work in this area (see www.osclg.org).
Individual members of OSCLG receive a reduced rate for subscribing to Women & Language; a departmental membership in the OSCLG includes a subscription to Women & Language. Women & Language subscribers are not required to join OSCLG.
