Feminist Asylum offers asylum to feminists in exile and marginalized feminist works. It welcomes non-conventional academic works, notes on ongoing and/or finished research works, feminist accounts of women’s struggles, commentaries, and diverse/fragmental forms of feminist everyday history-writing. Feminism in exile might manifest in different ways such as exile from nation, exile from society, exile from different social spheres, exile from mind to body, exile from reason to emotions, exile of feminist knowledge practices from academic spaces, to name a few. Asylum on the other hand, hints at the transitivity of knowing through experience, and thus situatedness of knowledge claims.
