Absolutely! Please join our writing sessions (information above) to talk to the co-guest-editors or send an email to the whole group (feministmanifestoscienceed@gmail.com) or the corresponding author Katerina (katerina.gunter@umu.se) to set up a meeting with us.

We begin accepting manuscripts for this special theme within the Critical Perspectives in Science Education Section of Science Education on November 1, 2025 and continue to accept manuscripts into the theme until September 1, 2026. 

Please note: Beyond that we will continue the conversation as part of the on-going work of the section Critical Perspectives in Science Education in the journal Science Education.

We welcome theoretical, empirical, and creative submissions that push boundaries in science education research and practice. Alongside traditional articles, we encourage collaborative and experimental formats such as autoethnography, speculative or poetic inquiry, and art-based scholarship that challenge conventional methodologies and representations of science. We are also working within the constraints of publishing with Wiley which include restrictions on possible article formats, limited possibilities of multimedia contributions and e.g. art-based work and creative methodologies. We therefore encourage the community to embed their work in the format that is possible for Wiley to publish.

One example of what is possible is this piece by Mindy J. Chappell and Maria Varelas here.

Submissions outside of the research article form can be submittes ad comment. Comments will, however, be carefullly reviewed by the guest editorial team and the editors in chief

Please note that when submitting your piece on the Wiley platform, do not select “issue” but connect the piece to the issue when asked later in the process if it is part of a special issue.

We do not require abstracts but can support you in the process of developing your ideas and gauging if this special theme could be a good fit for your work. Reach out to the guest editorial team and/or join our writing and conversation sessions.

Please find Science Education’s author guidelines here.

You find the call for contributions and a link to the submission page here:
Science Education Call for Papers From Manifesto to Collective Praxis: Towards Critical-Feminist and Justice-Centered Epistemic Futures in Science Education.

We aim for a timeline from submission to publication of four months.

All submissions undergo a double-blind peer review and each manuscript is reviewed by two to three independent reviewers, one of whom is a member of the Guest Editorial Team with expertise in the theme area. The review process follows the same rigorous standards as regular submissions, with final decisions made in consultation with the lead guest editor and the journal’s editorial leadership.

This special theme will include work that speaks to and moves beyond the themes proposed in the manifesto, engaging feminist scholarship and praxis in genuine, grounded and non-tokenizing ways. We’re looking for pieces that are in true dialogue with feminist thought and work that doesn’t just reference feminism but lives it through its questions, methods, and collaborations. This might mean community-based or creative approaches, collective writing, or interventions that blur boundaries between research, activism, and art. Not everything needs to be a traditional journal article; what matters most is that the work contributes meaningfully to critical-feminist conversations, pushing ideas and practices forward with care, rigor, and imagination.
