    call for papers: issue 1.1 - "in search of our gardens: femme-of-center pleasure activism in the Third World"

    this inaugural issue aims to carry forth and expand upon discussions of femme-of-center oriented liberation work and other endeavors that center the “energy work, somatic practices, and Indigenous spiritual work […] [of] pleasure activists in diverse fields and industries, such as somatic bodyworkers, nonclinical practitioners, clinicians, researchers, writers, music artists, [and] community leaders.”1 this issue is fueled by Anna Julia Cooper’s passionate imploring that “sentiment cannot remain callous and […] effort nerveless in view of the imminent peril of the mothers [and daughters and aunts and sisters and friends and lovers] of the next generation.”2 the scope of this issue seeks to imagine the futures of present and past conversations around rituals of pleasure, agency amplification, and joymaking practices for Third World women and queer/quare/kweer femmes.
