Call for Papers | A Revolutionary Archive of 2020
Kohl a journal for Body and Gender Research is looking for papers that look critically at the alternatives that have been proposed by popular revolutions around the world and in the regions of West Asia and North Africa. What can organizing look like? How has this year transformed our world view and outlook? How will we heal, be in communities, and feel joy? How do we survive, if we were never meant to survive*?
Help us archive the way we experienced the multiple crises of 2020, in Lebanon and transnationally, from an intersectional and queer framework.
Deadline: 15 February 2021
