The TRU is proud to be part of the editorial collective announcing the First Issue of
Catalyst: Feminism, Theory, Technoscience.
Catalyst is a juried online journal that expands the feminist and critical intellectual legacies
of science and technology studies into theory-intensive research, critique,
and practice, supporting intersectional and transnational scholarship and
fostering accessibility and experimentation in scholarly form. The inaugural
issue demonstrates the scope of Catalyst’s intellectual and political
vision. The journal’s core editorial collective thanks the journal’s
contributors, anonymous readers, and advisory board members.
Special issues in development will consider black studies and feminist STS,
digital militarism, disability, and the politics of care. We invite you to
submit work on these and other topics for juried review through the
journal’s online portal. The journal welcomes scholarly research articles,
research-based art and media work, book reviews, news in focus, and other
forms.
The Catalyst Collective is managing editors Cristina Visperas and Monika Sengul-Jones; web designer and
manager Monika Sengul-Jones; and editorial board members Kimberly Juanita
Brown, Lisa Cartwright, Martha Lampland, Rachel Lee, Mara Mills, Michelle
Murphy, Natasha Myers, Deboleena Roy, David Serlin, Banu Subramaniam, and
Elizabeth A. Wilson.
