Medieval Feminist Forum: A Journal of Gender and Sexuality
Medieval Feminist Forum: A Journal of Gender and Sexuality (MFF, e-ISSN 2151-6073) is an online, peer-reviewed journal of interdisciplinary scholarship on women, gender, and sexuality in medieval studies. We invite studies of literature, history, religion, art and architecture, and medievalism, including ones that employ theoretical models ranging from (but not limited to) queer theory and trans studies, critical race theory, decolonial and postcolonial approaches, disability studies, ecocriticism, materiality, affect theory, and history of emotion. Studies of specific authors or events are welcome, but should be framed for an audience of feminist medievalists broadly construed as well as for specialists in the case study.
