I have finished adjudicating abstracts submitted for the special issue of Feminist Philosophy Quarterly on the theme “Foucault and Feminist Philosophy,” an issue that will be published in 2026 to commemorate the centennial of Foucault’s birth on October 15, 1926. Close to forty abstracts/proposals were submitted to be considered for the issue.

I was very pleased with the assortment and calibre of submissions that I received. I have chosen five abstracts to be developed into longer articles, which will cover a range of areas with respect to aspects of Foucault’s work, perspective, topic, and so on. When the five articles are combined with the invited contributions and my introduction to the issue, the issue will comprise a total of ten pieces, which is the maximum number of slots allotted to the issue.

I will send out acceptances and decline other proposals over the next few days. I was honoured to learn about the work in which so many feminist Foucault scholars are engaged.
