The Editorial Board of The Tennessee Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice (“RGSJ”) invites submissions for consideration in its inaugural Volume I publication.
RGSJ is a legal journal designed to utilize legal analysis and interdisciplinary research to discover new conclusions that aim to ameliorate the racial, gender, and social injustices plaguing today’s society. The goal of RGSJ is to provide an interdisciplinary forum that allows individuals to discuss these topics in depth, so people will be thoroughly educated by various works in its publication. As a result, RGSJ will play a key role in framing the debate on race, gender, and social justice issues by raising awareness, offering intelligent analyses, and propositioning solutions.
Written works that will be considered for publication are case studies, case comments, narrative submissions, and articles. In the 2011-2012 academic year, RGSJ will publish one issue. Articles for the issue will be considered throughout the fall and into the early spring on a rolling basis. To be considered for the first issue, required materials MUST be submitted no later than 11:59 PM EST on November 4th, 2011. Jump to full post

The Wisconsin Journal of Law, Gender & Society announces its 2012 Symposium, When Gender Norms Become Law: Recognizing and Correcting for Gender Bias, which will take place Feb. 10, 2012. Abstracts are due Oct. 1, 2012.
We are seeking original scholarship, from both scholars and practitioners, addressing ways in which gender norms are reflected in legislation, judicial precedent, and administrative findings. Ideally, proposals would highlight:
- An analysis of the inherent and functional gender biases in these policies and practices and
- Recommendations as to how the same policies could be pursued without the resulting gender disparity.
Topics could include: findings of fact that shape evolving areas of law, the role of social sciences in evidence, and differing approaches to gender considerations across legal systems. Interested parties should send an abstract to WJLGS.Symposium [at] gmail.com by October 1, 2011. Those selected for the Symposium will be notified by November 2011. The Journal’s Symposium issue will be published in Fall 2012. Questions may be addressed to Symposium Editor Meredith Davis at mdavis7 [at] wisc.edu.
