Cortland
Journal gets international kudos
|
|
An online gender study journal produced by SUNY Cortland has been named as a top research journal in Europe by the France-based European Science Foundation.
The journal,“Wagadu: A Journal of Trans-national Women’s and Gender Studies,” offers editorials, book reviews and articles
on issues regarding gender and women’s studies.
Co-founded by Mecke Nagel, a professor in the department of philosophy, the journal was launched in 2004. Funds to start “Wagadu” (http://web.cortland.edu/ wagadu/) came from a New York State/UUP Joint Labor/Management Committee grant.
In an Aug. 13 letter, the foundation notified the college that Wagadu was selected to be listed on a European humanities reference index of top gender studies research journals.
