Embracing the Killjoy: Our Editorial Declaration

Authors

  • Danielle Normandeau University of Alberta

Abstract

Our feminist project is to actualize a forum for undergraduate students to publish research in Women’s and Gender Studies and feminist research within other disciplines. We aimed, in short, to take the feminist killjoy seriously: to wield the power of critique along a radical anti-oppression trajectory. This aim materializes in these first pages of our inaugural issue and will continue to do so in our future publications. We thank you for taking the time to read our collective efforts, and give many thanks to our wonderful contributors for their excellent and creative thinking. We hope that you will be inspired to kill some joy yourself.
