Calls for Papers
(1) Special Issue: The "Weaponization" of Ethnic Studies
Article Submission Deadline: NOW EXTENDED to December 15, 2023
Kalfou is currently seeking submissions that address what Sunaina Maira describes as the “weaponization” of Ethnic Studies against itself. Despite the proliferation of “DEI” statements and agencies, we continue to see the neutralization of antiracist and antisexist discourses in order to perpetuate injustice. In various ways, such neutralization attempts to delegitimate radical struggles and the knowledge they produce.
