Special Issue of the International Journal of Feminist Approaches to  
Bioethics 

Transnational Dialogues in Feminist Bioethics 

Guest-Edited by
Arleen L. F. Salles and Constance Perry. 


Feminist thought has provided a fresh approach to the discussion of a  broad 
range of issues in the health care context. Feminist  bioethicists have 
reflected on the gendered, class, and racial  aspects of euthanasia, 
resource allocation, the patient-physician  relationship, and the use of 
biotechnology in healthcare.  More  recently, the debate has been enriched 
by the presence of feminist  voices from different countries. 

In this issue, the International Journal of Feminist Approaches to  Feminist 
Bioethics seeks to encourage debate across national  boundaries around 
issues in bioethics. We invite submissions that  explore how differences 
between feminist thought in developing and  developed countries can shape 
and contribute to the discussion of  bioethical issues.  Authors could 
choose to address this from a broad  context or a specific issue of 
interest. We encourage collaborative  submissions and papers and responses. 
The goal is to create a  dialogue between diverse cultural, experiential, 
and national  perspectives. 

The deadline for submission is May 1, 2008.  Papers should be no more  than 
8000 words. All submitted papers should be prepared for  anonymous review, 
with any identifying references deleted.   Authors  should submit a separate 
title page, including contact information,  as well as a statement that the 
paper has not been published  previously and is not under consideration for 
publication elsewhere.  Papers should include an abstract (under 250 words) 
and 3-5 key  words. Papers should be submitted in Microsoft Word, as email  
attachments to Arleen L. F. Salles at [log in to unmask] or  Constance
