Call for Submissions on “Gendered Global Health in Times of COVID-19: questioning global hierarchies and inequalities”
Posted: 7/14/2020 (Conference)
IFJP is inviting submissions to its Conversations Section on the theme: “Gendered Global Health in Times of COVID-19: questioning global hierarchies and inequalities”.
Aiming to interrogate the multiple inequalities which pervade global health, as well as their impact on the way people have been experiencing and resisting the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic around the world, we invite submissions that explore the following questions:
● How do markers of difference – including but not limited to gender, sexuality, race, immigrant status, nationality, co-morbidities, and informal, essential or other sector employment – affect the different ways in which people have been experiencing the coronavirus crisis?
● How are health systems in the centers and peripheries of the world prepared to deal with the gendered and racialized implications of this crisis?
● What are the main inequalities underpinning this major global health crisis and how do they evince the necropolitical workings of national governments and international governance?
● What are the politics and ethics behind the unequal distribution of life and death during the pandemic, and what is the role of affects and emotions in grappling with this crisis?
● How can feminist research constructively engage and drive the present crisis to offer alternative paths for living through and surviving its consequences?
● What are the ethical and political responsibilities of feminist research and activism in addressing the hierarchies sustaining the unequal distribution of life and death during the pandemic?
Interested authors should submit their articles through the IFjP Submission Portal by September 14, 2020.Submissions should be between 1,000 and 3,000 words including bibliography. Please also upload a biographical note and five keywords. Make sure to edit it thoroughly for language and clarity, and format it to correspond to the Taylor & Francis guidelines.
