The upcoming Spring 2020 issue of The Cyprus Review will focus on the parameters of Gender in Cyprus: Equality, Rights, and Beyond. The issue intends to serve as a platform for introducing gender-based approaches into the scientific topos of Cyprological studies. We encourage authors to contribute to this effort through original scientific research pertinent to a broad range of Cyprological topics touching upon the issue of gender, with special but not exclusive, focus on the interplay between gender and equality, as well as gender and rights.
We especially encourage original papers dealing with such subjects as:
- Social and/or societal construction of gender
- Gender representations in the context of family, workplace, or the socio-political arena
- LGTBQI+ perspectives on gender; queerness and the construction of gender; normativity, non-binarity, and gender identity
- Gender identity; gender fluidity; gender reassignment
- Gender visibility, inclusivity, and/or awareness
- Gender as a notion of domestic, European, and international law
- Gender rights; gender qua right; gender and human rights
- Gender equality; gender participation; gender-sensitive policies and affirmative action; gender quotas; gender empowerment
- Language and gender; gender as a language; gender as a narrative
- Gender targeting; gender biases; gender qua role and source of expectations
- Gender and the concept of the political; gender as a political concept; gender and political representation
- Gender in the context of labour policy and/or praxis; gender and capital;
- Gender and the Welfare State in liquid modernity
- Gender parameters in the framework of international or regional stability, peace, and security operations
- Gender victimality; gender-based violence (GBV); harassment on the basis of gender and/or sexual harassment; gender-related mobbing; gender in mass atrocity context; gender and armed conflict
- Toxic masculinity; lookism; the culture of machismo
This is not an exclusive list. On the contrary, we urge prospective authors to think out of the box, endorse bold new ideas, and research the various aspects of gender in the context of equality or rights, but also beyond them. All articles should be relevant to the case of Cyprus, thus enhancing Cyprological studies and research.
