Call for Papers
Special Issue: The "Weaponization" of Ethnic Studies
Article Submission Deadline: May 31, 2023
Optional deadline for abstract submission: If you would like to receive feedback on your project before submitting the full article, you may send an abstract of 200–300 words to our email. Send abstracts by May 1 to ensure adequate time for consideration.
Through May 2023, Kalfou is currently seeking submissions that address what Sunaina Maira describes as the “weaponization” of Ethnic Studies against itself. Despite the proliferation of “DEI” statements and agencies, we continue to see the neutralization of antiracist and antisexist discourses in order to perpetuate injustice. In various ways, such neutralization attempts to delegitimate radical struggles and the knowledge they produce.
