Crosstalk: Graduate Students of Color Reflect
on Lessons Lived and Learned in the Academy
A CALL FOR ESSAY SUBMISSIONS
for a special issue of
Women, Gender, and Families of Color
Submission Deadline: November 30, 2019
Your voice, your experiences, and your insights are critical for a special issue of
Women, Gender, and Families of Color
focused on the experiences of graduate students of color learning, working, navigating, and matriculating in higher education. We seek a diversity of perspectives from marginalized and minoritized populations in the academy, including students currently in MA and PhD programs as well as recent graduates across disciplines.
Women, Gender, and Families of Color
is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed publication that centers the study of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and Asian American women, genders, and families. For this special issue, we are interested in reflective essays that explore graduate students of colors’ lives—their struggles and triumphs. Additionally, we invite essays that center the observations and best practices of students of color and articulate authors’ visions for the future of departments, graduate schools, and campus communities.
In soliciting these essays, the journal aims to provide a space for emerging scholars to contemplate the formal structure and informal customs of graduate school as well as the aforementioned factors’ import and impact for graduate students of color as they make their way in the academy. The special issue is an effort to create a dialogue among graduate students of color for sharing ideas, affirmation, and guidance. It is also an endeavor to build a forum for graduate students of color to provide feedback to the journal’s other readers, which include college and university faculty, administrators, and staff persons.
Due to the sensitive nature of these issues, authors may request that their work be published anonymously.
Submissions are due November 30, 2017 to
wgfc@ku.edu
and should include the following:
o 5-10 double-spaced pages (1250-2500 words)
o A 20-word biography that indicates your identities and campus role (graduate student, graduate student instructor, post-doc, lecturer, faculty member, staff person, etc.)
o Submissions should not include identifying information of others.

How are the norms of traditional Western masculinity - be strong, independent, non-emotional – poisonous for men, their communities and the people they love? The current crisis of masculinity is a health crisis in our communities and around the world.
As men struggle to “man up” to unattainable expectations, they overcompensate with anxiety, anger, and violence that disrupts the health and well-being of women, children, and other men in their lives. Perhaps most telling, fragile masculinity has been linked to “deaths of despair” for men with the highest levels of aggrieved entitlement in the face of a destructive cocktail of unemployment, divorce, and depression. However, some men consciously become traitors to traditional masculinity by searching for engaged and nurturing relationships, as partners and parents - challenging the restrictive ways that men are permitted to express masculinity.
