SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE CANADIAN JOURNAL OF WOMEN AND THE LAW IN HONOUR OF PATRICIA MONTURE

The Canadian Journal of Women and Law (CJWL) is seeking submissions for a special issue 25(1) to be published in Spring 2013.

White Settler Colonialism and Indigeneity in the Canadian Context
Guest edited by Sherene Razack

Some time ago Patricia Monture told us that in her thinking equality was not a high enough goal. A feminism that failed to recognize the destructiveness of settler colonialism and to work towards Indigenous sovereignty and well-being was too small a feminism for Patricia. This issue of the Canadian Journal of Women and the Law is dedicated to Patricia Monture, a courageous scholar who led the way for so many of us over the last two decades. To honour her, we invite contributions on white settler colonialism. This issue seeks to profile the work of Indigenous scholars and scholars of colour. In keeping with Patricia Monture’s own contributions, we are especially interested in receiving articles that offer a feminist, anti-racist reading of Canadian settler colonialism in the areas of criminal justice, Aboriginal youth, education, and economic empowerment.

The deadline for submitting articles for this special issue is March 1, 2012. Submissions should be no more than 35 pages (10,000 words), should conform to the Style Guide available on our website: http://www.utpjournals.com/cjwl/cjwl.html and should include an abstract.

Please send your articles in Word format to:
