Enloe award
Cynthia Enloe, Research Professor, Clark University
The International Feminist Journal of Politics is delighted to announce the twelfth annual call for the Enloe Award. Named in honor of Cynthia Enloe’s pioneering feminist research on international politics and global political economy, as well as her considerable contribution to building a more inclusive feminist scholarly community, the Enloe Award is given annually in recognition of exceptional quality in a paper submitted to IFJP by an early-career researcher.
This is an open competition judged by a committee of eminent feminist scholars drawn from the IFJP board/community. Both postgraduate students nearing completion of their PhD thesis and postdoctoral scholars who are within five years of the award of their PhD at the time of the competition deadline will be eligible to enter. Papers should fall within the remit of IFJP, which seeks to publish cutting-edge research at the intersection of global politics, feminist, gender and queer scholarship, and activism.
FFollowing the vision of the current editors to nurture the journal as a robust dialogic and collaborative space of accountability and transformation that challenges global injustice, structural and epistemic silencing, and oppression, we particularly welcome papers that
address how gender, sex, race, religious identity, immigrant status, class, and ableism, among others, operate and intersect in transregional and international politics;
reaffirm feminist theories, feminist methodologies, and feminist ethics, amplifying marginalized knowledges, and disrupting global hierarchies, including sexism, queerphobias, racism, and colonialism;
reimagine decolonization and diversity in international research, feminist politics, and publishing through multi-vocal, multi-located feminist processes and deliberation to enable bringing productive differences to the heart of feminist politics and knowledge practices.
Submissions should conform to all IFJP submission guidelines. Check out this page for answers to frequently asked questions that may be helpful in preparing your manuscript for consideration.
The winning entry will be published in the journal as the Enloe Award Essay and the author given an honorarium (currently US$500) on publication.
