Women & Performance: a journal of feminist theory seeks scholarly essays on performance, dance, film, new media, and the performance of everyday life from interdisciplinary feminist perspectives. We encourage dialogues between varied fields of performance scholarship (i.e., performance studies; theatre, dance, and music history and criticism; ethnography; cinema and cultural studies; as well as queer and post-colonial theory), and explore critiques of race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, technology, and nation. The journal is a peer-reviewed, tri-annual publication with forthcoming special issues on topics as diverse as the role of women in the fluxus art movement, women in international politics, and transbiology. We encourage general submissions that foreground themes of gender and performance and proposals for special issues that address topics within feminism and performance studies. NEW SECTION We are pleased to introduce a new section, simply titled '&,' to the regular table of contents of Women & Performance. This section features a wide array of critical engagements that move beyond the invaluable, but nonetheless narrowly conceived, work of the 7,000-word, peer-reviewed, scholarly article. In '&,' you'll find artists' statements, polemics, review essays, performance texts, manifestoes, feminist and queer takes on current events and debates, and other modes of intellectual production that are too wily to conform to the standard model of academic publishing or that perform feminist theory along different lines of flight, at different speeds, in rogue forms. We are continuing to curate submissions for this section. If you have questions, or items you'd like us to consider, please contact managingeditor@womenandperformance.org. ABOUT US Women & Performance was founded in 1983 by graduate students in the Department of Performance Studies at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.

Special Issue: Human Sex Trafficking Women & Criminal Justice is the only periodical devoted specifically to scholarly interdisciplinary and international research on all concerns related to women and criminal justice. It provides scholars with a single forum devoted to this critical specialty area in the fields of criminal justice, human rights, law, politics, sociology, social work, and women's studies. Both qualitative and quantitative studies are welcomed, as are studies that test theories about women as victims, professionals and offenders. The journal is refereed and features original research articles from academicians and professionals in the field that reflect its interdisciplinary and international focus, such as: * cross-cultural studies on gender, race, ethnicity, and criminal justice * socio-legal and historical studies on gender and crime and victimization * gender studies on women professionals * theory pertaining to women and criminal justice * women and the law * women in crime and punishment literature * women as victims of rape, incest, battering, stalking and sexual harassment * women and human trafficking * implications of legally mandated change for professionals, victims, and offenders * juvenile females in the criminal justice system * women in criminal justice professions, including academia * incarcerated women (legal rights, programs, pregnancy, AIDS, children of incarcerated women, aged and infirm, women on death row) * legal restraints on improving the conditions for women in the criminal justice system * international efforts to respond to the needs of women in the criminal justice system. Women & Criminal Justice periodically presents commentaries where authors exchange ideas and discuss methodological issues and present reports of ongoing research and research findings. A summary of the laws and court cases that pertain to women will also be presented. Special thematic issues have covered such topics as the criminalization of a woman's body and women and domestic violence; a special theme on human trafficking is currently in process. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review; there is anonymous refereeing by two (and sometimes three) anonymous referees. If manuscripts are given a revise and resubmit status, then there is editorial screening and a second review by the anonymous reviewers. If a manuscript is given a qualified acceptance (accept with minor changes), then there is editorial screening to ensure that the changes were made before acceptance.

* issues in the process of therapy with female clients * problems in living that affect women in greater proportion than men, such as depression, eating disorders, and agoraphobia * women's traditional and nontraditional roles in society and how these affect and can be affected by therapy * the special needs of minority women, lesbians, older women, and women with disabilities * the special needs of feminist therapists * effective interventions and alternatives to traditional treatment approaches. The high-quality articles in Women & Therapy will be of greatest interest to feminist therapists and health professionals; individuals who educate, supervise, or train therapists; individuals in training to become therapists; and feminist researchers and scholars who are interested in issues confronting women and therapy. Few areas in psychology and related health professions have developed as quickly in recent years as women and therapy. This journal investigates challenges in therapy such as: * gender differences and similarities as they relate to biological, personality, cognitive, and developmental factors * women as they enter new roles at work and in personal relationships * the change of attitudes by therapists in interacting with female clients in order to influence and incorporate the changes taking place in society. * the role of the media that has popularized these developments so that the consumer of therapy is better educated about women's issues than ever before. Women make up the overwhelming majority of clients in therapy, yet there has been little attention given to this fact in the training of therapists or in the professional literature. Women & Therapy is designed to fill this void of information. Peer Review Policy: All research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by two anonymous referees.

The first three of the year's quarterly issues are each dedicated to a particular theme of current interest. The fourth issue, Debates in World Archaeology, is a forum for debate, discussion and comment. All papers adopt a broad comparative approach, looking at important issues on a global scale. The members of the editorial board and the advisory board represent a wide range of interests and expertise and this ensures that the papers published in World Archaeology cover a wide variety of subject areas. Recent issues illustrate the variety of material published in World Archaeology and have included volumes dedicated to new developments in archaeological science, the application of social theory to archaeology, the archaeology of art and major syntheses of such important topics as trade and exchange. Future issues will range just as widely. Back issues of World Archaeology are available through JSTOR Recent Issues: * The Archaeology of Buildings * The Archaeology of Water * The Archaeology of Caves, Shelters and the Deep Karst * Tradition * Elemental Archaeologies * Experimental Archaeology 'World Archaeology is a pleasure to read, in two senses; layout and typeface are particularly easy on the eye, while the articles are clearly and attractively written, usually without waffle or jargon. World Archaeology has carved out a place for itself as one of the very few British archaeological journals since Antiquity to have adopted a truly international approach to the subject, covering all periods, areas and aspects of the human past. Its unique thematic design should ensure that its importance will be maintained for decades to come'.
