philoSOPHIA: A Journal of Transcontinental Feminism (formerly subtitled A Journal of Continental Feminism) is an international, interdisciplinary, biannual peer-reviewed academic journal covering feminist theory and continental philosophy. [1] [2] [3] Published by SUNY Press, the journal was established by philoSOPHIA: the Society for Continental Feminism, which was founded in 2008. [4] [5] The editors-in-chief are Alyson Cole and Kyoo Lee. [6]
The journal is the product of philoSOPHIA: the Society for Continental Feminism, which was founded in Tennessee in 2008—initially as the French Feminism Circle—by Kelly Oliver ( Vanderbilt University) and Stacy Keltner ( Kennesaw State University). The journal was established in 2011, after the society's third annual conference. The founding co-editors were Elaine Miller and Emily Zakin ( Miami University). [7]
According to its founding editors, the society and journal were named after Sophia, the feminine aspect of God who fell from grace because of her love of knowledge. [8] The name serves to illustrate that women who love philosophy are not necessarily in love with the patriarchy. [9]
Since issue 9.1 (2019), the journal's cover image has been replaced, substituting the previous one with a photo collage by the artist Lorna Simpson, called Unanswerable.
The journal is abstracted and indexed in: [10] [11]
