CALL FOR PAPERS A new FAB volume to include submissions based on presentations at FAB conferences and FAB related events over the past two years. Tentative title: Feminist Bioethics, Human Rights and the Developing World: Integrating Global and Local Perspectives Editors: Rosemarie Tong, Anne Donchin and Susan Dodds Submission deadline: January 31, 2003 Prospectus: In recent years the mounting international AIDS epidemic and exploitation of research subjects in developing countries by the Western drug industry have prompted bioethicists to extend their attention beyond issues that preoccupy Western scholars and consider the situation of nonwestern peoples. Yet recognition of the distinctively exploitative conditions prevalent in much of the developing world has seldom extended to less publicized bioethical issues. Meanwhile feminist bioethicists in the West have been joining in dialogue with academic bioethicists and activists in nonwestern countries who share a common commitment to eradicating oppressive social practices. Through this dialogue feminist bioethicists have come to realize both the extent to which the dominant Western approach to bioethics has extended its influence into the developing world and the work of feminist scholars in those regions who resist the prevailing bioethical model and are seeking to develop frameworks that are more fully responsive to both indigenous values and practices and the universal human rights of all people. This anthology will feature these voices as they have entered into dialogue with Western feminists at FAB conferences. We envision a volume of at least two parts plus introductions by the editors. Part I: Toward a feminist bioethical framework encompassing values and practices of developing regions Part II: Integrating a global human rights perspective into bioethical discourse Guidelines for Contributors 1. Type all copy including endnotes and reference list in 12 point Times Roman font. Double-space on standard pages with one inch margins all around. Articles should not exceed 5000 words (about 20 pp.) excluding endnotes and references. 2. To protect anonymity insert a separate title page including the word count, article title, the author's name, postal address, telephone number, e-mail address, and fax number, if available. Do not include the author's name in the body of the text. 3. Include an abstract of no more than 150 words and a brief biography that does not exceed 50 words. 4. Send all of above by the January 31, 2003 deadline to all three editors: in Word or Word Perfect. Notes and Bibliography Notes should be gathered at the end of your article under the heading "Notes." Indent the first line of each note using a tab, not the space bar. Do not insert an extra line of space between each paragraph. Use a single space after the period and the end of sentences as well as after a colon. Citations and references Submissions should follow the author-date system of documentation, with limited endnotes, as outlined in The Chicago Manual of Style (14th ed.). (See chapter l6 outlining documentation for the social sciences.) References to works are given in the text in chronological order by enclosing the author's last name and the year of publication in parentheses (Miner 1978) and are keyed to an alphabetical list of references at the end of the article. Specific page or section references follow the date, preceded by a comma (Miller 1978, 234). Other examples are: (Miller and Jones 1978) for dual authorship; (Miller et al. 1978) for more than three authors; (Miller 1978a, 1978b) for two works by the same author in a single year; (Smith 1982; Chanock 1985; Robertson and Berger 1986) for two or more works by different authors. Endnotes are used for material commenting on or adding to the text and should be used instead of parenthetical citations for references to more than three works, archival materials, unpublished interviews, and legal cases. Within endnotes, second and later references to a work should refer to the author's last name and date. Do not use up. cit. Endnotes should be typed double-spaced at the end of the article, following the list of references. Full documentation appears in the references. References must list all works cited in the text, including citations in endnotes. List works alphabetically by author and, under author, by year of publication.
