Calls for submissions
Feminist Developments in Violence and Abuse provides a feminist forum for academic work that pushes forward existing knowledge around violence and abuse. Informing policy and practice, the overarching objective of the series is contributing towards ending violence and abuse within our society.
Aims and scope
Feminist Developments in Violence and Abuse enables academics, practitioners, policymakers and professionals to continually build and explore their understanding of the dynamics that are driving violence and abuse from both the micro to the macro level.
The series reflects that the study of abuse and violence has a large scope for co-producing research with a broad range of stakeholders particularly those working in grassroots domestic and sexual violence organisations, police, prosecutors, lawyers, campaign groups, housing victim services, and more.
The series is interdisciplinary, recognising that violence and abuse research reaches across disciplinary boundaries. Research impact is at the heart of this series.
This title is aligned with our fairer society goal
We are passionate about working with researchers globally to deliver a fairer, more inclusive society. This perhaps has never been more important than in today’s divided world.
