History
The Barnard Center for Research on Women was founded in 1971 as one
of the first feminist research institutes and is home to the nationally
recognized The Scholar & the Feminist Conference. In the 1980s,
anthologies, including The Future of Difference (1981) and
Pleasure and Danger (1982), were based on this conference. S&F
Online continues the transformation of live event to publication,
launching the conference - and its progeny - into the 21st century.
Designed and managed by a crew of third-wave feminists in tune with
technology, S&F Online transforms the eponymous conference as
well as the Center's other popular programs into a living archive. A
fusion of art, criticism, activism, and technology, S&F Online
invites its audience to join in the conversation.

Return to top How is S&F Online different from print
journals? A fusion of art, criticism, activism, and
technology, S&F Online is an innovative adaptation of scholarship
in the Internet age. Unlike the earlier digital conversion of scholarly
journals, or the rote posting of conference papers, S&F Online
takes full advantage of its online environment. All contributions
include hypertext, creating a digital conversation that expands on the
original live interactions among program participants. Future issues
will include discussion boards, extensive bibliographies and links, and
scheduled live chats between students and selected contributors.

Return to top How can I become the Guest Editor of a special
issue? Every issue of S&F Online is considered a
"special issue" and is edited by a Guest Editor. Two out of the three
of the annual issues begin with a program organized by the Guest Editor
and held at Barnard College. Papers and other materials presented at
the panel (audio and visual recordings, slides, film clips, etc.) are
then collected and prepared for web publication. These contributions
are supplemented with related scholarship and other applicable
resources. Each year, S&F Online will accept proposals
for the Guest Editorship of the summer issue. Note: The summer issue
may not necessarily begin with a panel or other live event, but it
could, pending the approval of the Center for Research on Women and its
Advisory Board. The end of the fall semester is the deadline for the
summer issue. To be considered as Guest Editor of the summer
issue, please send a written proposal to Janet Jakobsen. Your proposal should
include:
1. a detailed description of the proposed topic, the issues
you would like to address, the types of materials you would like to
include and their format (multimedia, print), and the proposed panel or
program, should you choose to plan one
2. names and affiliations of
possible contributors and, if applicable, potential panelists
