How is this issue different from previous editions of S&F Online?
Unlike previous issues, this edition is broken up into two parts: an academic section, featuring articles on feminism and blogging (described above), and a blog section, where some of today’s most popular feminist bloggers have joined us to take part in a one-of-a-kind conversation. The bloggers will post on various critical issues, including: race, class and gender in the blogosphere; women blogging in male spaces; comments sections as political discourse; and feminist blogging and politics. We will also include each academic article in our blog section to offer the contributors, bloggers, and readers a chance to discuss the essays. For one week after the edition launches, the blog portion of the edition will be live, giving both the contributors and the readers a chance to discuss the issues online. Posts will be organized in chronological order and also by topic through a sidebar. We encourage you, the reader, to continue the conversation and interact with the contributors and other commentators.
Finally, we would like to thank everyone at the Barnard Center for Research on Women for their guidance in putting this issue together, and especially for their willingness to try something that has never been done before. Thanks also to our wonderful contributors and bloggers, who have shared their insights and ideas, and who inspire us daily both on and offline.
We hope you enjoy the issue as much as we enjoyed putting it together. See you in the comments section!
