Dear all,
I hope this email finds you well.
I would like to briefly update you on where we are at with the Special Issue on Feminism and (Un)hacking and some of the thought provoking reflection we are having with this issue currently. At a more mundane level, we are pleased to inform you that the first round of peer review has been completed and we should start the second round in May. So all is good on that front.
On a more thought provoking aspect, we have been pondering for quite some time now on how to handle the order of editors. So far in our communication we have been using a standard alphabetical order. Lilly in our group suggested to create a pen name out of our three names to have a single editor for the Special Issue. The idea of a pen-name is inspired in part by the work of radical feminist geographers J.K. Gibson-Graham who did just that a few years ago. We all feel our special issue is perfect for such experimentation as it is a hack on the academic publishing system and the hierarchical order it imposes on researchers. Our introductory article to the Special Issue will probably begin with an explanation of our own contribution to feminist hacking: That is a “HowTo” on how to hack academic standards and traditions from a feminist and queer perspective, while giving equal recognition to all for their work. Also, we feel that the choice of a pen-name does not erase our identities as individuals, but rather aim at questioning and initiating a discussion about the nature of work, scholarship, expertise, and authority from a feminist and queer framework. We are all super enthusiastic about the idea of resisting the traditional authorship structure in our special issue. We hope you will be as excited as we are about this experimentation.
Very best,
SSL Nagbot
