For this issue, the Revue is teaming up with the journal Eastern European Holocaust Studies (https://www.degruyter.com/journal/key/eehs/html#submit). Each journal will publish its own special issue on Gender and the Holocaust. By doing so simultaneously, we ensure a wider distribution and discussion of cutting-edge scholarship.
Suggested themes include but are not limited to gender and:
- everyday life inside and outside of the ghettos, camps and killing centres
- hiding
- age/aging
- bodies and sexuality
- intersectionality i.e. of gender, ethnicity, class (and so forth)
- parenting (motherhood/and or fatherhood) or family life under occupation
- youth movements
- religious life
- perpetrators/bystanders
- local populations
- liberation
- post-war trials
- remembrance/representation
We also welcome a historiographical overview of the development of research on the topic of gender and the Holocaust to frame the issue.
We would be pleased to have submissions from established and early-career academics as well as graduate students. We will proceed as follows:
- June 28, 2024: submission of a 500-700 word proposal in English and a short bio
- July 28, 2024: notification of article proposals accepted
- November 15, 2024: deadline to submit the first draft of the articles (maximum 50,000 characters including notes and spaces)
- January 2025 joint workshop to discuss the draft articles and promote the harmonization of the special issue together with East European Holocaust Studies
- February 15-June 30, 2025: peer-review evaluation (at the end of this process, the article will be definitively accepted or rejected).
- September 15, 2025: deadline for submission of final articles, translation into French (if necessary) and editing
- March 2026: publication of the special issue
