Gender theories have always been important, but no more so than now, when gender is increasingly acknowledged as an essential focus for eco nomics, policy, law and development as well as being central to a range of fields in the humanities and social sciences such as cultural studies, liter ary criticism, queer studies, ethnic and racial studies, psychoanalytic studies and of course feminist studies. Yet while the growth areas for the field are those that seek to combine interdisciplinary theoretical approaches with transnational arenas of inquiry, or integrate theory and practice, there is currently no book series that foregrounds these exciting set of developments. The series ‘Thinking Gender in Transnational Times’ aims to redress this balance and to showcase the most innovative new work in this arena. We will be focusing on soliciting manuscripts or edited collections that foreground the following: Interdisciplinary work that pushes at the boundaries of existing knowledge and generates inno vative contributions to the field. Transnational perspectives that high light the relevance of gender theories to the analysis of global flows and practices. Integrative approaches that are attentive to the ways in which gender is linked to other areas of analysis such as ‘race’, ethnicity, reli gion, sexuality, violence, or age. The relationship between theory and practice in ways that assume both are important for sustainable transfor mation. The impact of power relations as felt by individuals and com munities, and related concerns, such as those of structure and agency, or ontology and epistemology In particular, we are interested in publishing original work that pushes at the boundaries of existing theories, extends our gendered understanding of global formations, and takes intellectual risks at the level of form or content. We welcome single or multipleauthored work, work from senior and junior scholars, or collections that provide a range of perspectives on a single theme.
