CALL FOR PAPERS- Special Issue of BPS journal POWER on Feminism in Asia. Details in images/alt text below. Please repost and share with your networks!

Psychology of Women & Equalities Review (POWER) Call for Papers Special issue - Feminism in Asia The Psychology of Women & Equalities Review (POWER) supports critical feminist debate on the psychology of women and equalities across research, teaching, and professional practice. This special issue seeks to decentre feminist theory and praxis from the Global North and foreground perspectives on feminism and psychology in Asia. Feminist movements have resonated with diverse marginalised communities, contributing to social transformation. Yet, significant gaps remain in the incorporation of non-Western women’s experiences and theorising within mainstream feminist and psychological scholarship. Even within the Majority World, hegemonic and dominant community narratives can erase minority voices and present misleading accounts of national homogeneity. The year 2025 witnessed Gen Z led protests across many Asian countries, building on decades of activism and social change. These fissures in the social fabric have emerged from long-standing systemic violence against the most marginalised within South Asia and beyond. Women’s activism continues to shape reform and policy, while LGBTQ+ activism contributes to redefining sexual freedoms and gender roles This issue intends to address intersections of gender, sexuality, disability, caste, political identity, and other forms of marginalisation through a psychological and feminist lens, whilst acknowledging both global and local feminist imaginaries. While decentring Western feminist paradigms is crucial, it is equally vital to challenge dominant discourses within Asian feminist scholarship. We welcome submissions from early-career researchers, activists, individuals working in academic-adjacent industries, and academics working in and around Asia.Topics suggested, but not limited to Emerging discourse in psychology Voices of minorities within the nation Feminism and popular culture Imagining a psychology of women Feminism in Education Psychology’s response to feminist and queer movements Addressing ethnic violence Feminist resistance to nationalism Methodology We are open to qualitative and innovative methodologies. We welcome the following submissions Theoretical and empirical papers. Reviews of relevant books, films and other popular media. Short papers, commentaries, interviews and other non-traditional submissions such as art, poetry and photography in our ‘Agora ’section. Send an abstract between 300-500 words and a 50 word author(s) biography by 15th April 2026. Important dates Outcome of abstract selection - 30th May 2026 Full submissions - 10th December 2026 Publication date July 2027 - July 2027 All articles (excluding creative works) will be peer reviewed. Please note, by submitting a manuscript, you will also be invited to peer review other submissions.Submissions should be a maximum of 8,000 words excluding references.
