Recognizing that feminism, race, transnationalism, and women of color are contested terms, Meridians<\/em> engages the complexity of these debates in a dialogue across ethnic and national boundaries, as well as across traditional disciplinary boundaries in the academy. The goal of Meridians<\/em> is to make scholarship by and about women of color central to global and US economic conditions, their political practices, the articulation of histories, geographies, cultures, and sexualities, as well as the forms and meanings of resistance and activist strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meridians<\/em> is guided by an Editorial Advisory Board comprised of faculty members from the Five College Consortium, of which Smith is a member, and the Research Triangle Consortium, of which Duke University is a member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe focus of our attention is women in movement: geographically and economically, in migration and diaspora; politically, in both local and transnational patterns of organization and coalition; and intellectually, in theoretical transformations produced by these new transnational realities.\u201d<\/p>– Meridians<\/em> Founding Editors<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n great circles of earth passing <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mission Meridians is a peer-reviewed, feminist, interdisciplinary journal whose goal is to provide a forum for the finest scholarship and creative work by and about women of color in US and international contexts.
