GENDER. Zeitschrift für Geschlecht, Kultur und Gesellschaft as a newly founded journal on women and gender studies presents a forum for academic debate as well as discourse between academics and practitioners.
The range of the journal extends from social to cultural topics – sociopolitical issues on equality and justice are addressed as well as issues of the orchestration and cultural interpretation of gender. The journal aims at a broad range of topics and academic disciplines, in which women, men, and gender issues are reflected. Following the multi-disciplinary setting of the journal, analyses are welcome from, i.e., sociology, pedagogy, political science, cultural science and history, which are adept to the interdisciplinary approach of gender studies. Furthermore, the analyses of local, regional and global impacts on gender relations are of interest.

GENDER. Zeitschrift für Geschlecht, Kultur und Gesellschaft is published three times per an-num, each with a thematic focus, and some 480 pages per year. Apart from the usual procedure of double-blind peer review, contributions within the thematic focus and a rubric of open contri-butions, contributions are also published regularly under the rubric of “From research, politics and practitioners” as well as proceedings and book reviews. We have started the processes of being listed in the international citation indexes. The journal is edited by Prof. Dr. Heike Kahlert, Prof. Dr. Sigrid Metz-Göckel, Dr. Beate Kortendiek and Dr. Sabine Schäfer and published by Barbara Budrich Publishers.
