Journals from Duke University PRess

Duke University Press journals are a vital part of scholarly discourse in humanities and social sciences. Their titles—some with broad, interdisciplinary focus, others which investigate the depths of a particular area of study—continue to define and redefine the terms of scholarly discussion. 

Journal of Middle East Women’s Studies (JMEWS)


This interdisciplinary journal advances the fields of Middle East gender, sexuality, and women’s studies through the contributions of academics, artists, and activists from around the globe working in the interpretive social sciences and humanities. JMEWS publishes area-specific research informed by transnational feminist, sexuality, masculinity, and cultural theories and scholarship. It is particularly interested in work that employs historical, ethnographic, literary, textual, and visual analyses and methodologies. The journal also publishes book and film reviews, review essays, and dissertation abstracts that highlight theoretical innovation in gender and sexuality studies focused on the Middle East. JMEWS is the official journal of the Association for Middle East Women’s Studies.
