Description
This special issue showcases the winning and short listed essays from the second annual essay competition of the Feminist and Women's Studies Association (UK and Ireland) (FWSA). Formerly the Women's Studies Network (UK), the renaming in 2004 of the organisation as the FWSA represents a number of changes that are currently taking place in the constituency and work of the organisation. Firstly, the relaunched organisation includes those working in feminist and women's studies in Ireland, expanding its overall constituency and recognising explicitly the mobility of people, scholarship and activism between the UK and Ireland. Secondly, the new name represents an attempt to include more explicitly the large number of people involved in feminist research and activism outside of the specific context of women's studies departments. Thirdly, the transition to the FWSA marks the expansion of the activities of the organisation. This includes, for example, increased engagement with the media and the creation of a new seminar series organised by, and run for, postgraduates. This is in addition to the continuation of existing member benefits including an annual international conference, a biannual newsletter, access to an e-mail discussion list and, of course, the essay competition.
