"De-Centering Western Sexualities. Central and Eastern European Perspectives"

Edited by Robert Kulpa and Joanna Mizielinska

"Engaged with current debates within queer studies surrounding temporality and knowledge production, and inspired by post-colonial critique, the book problematises the western hegemony that often characterises sexuality studies, and presents local theoretical insights better attuned to their geo-temporal realities".

from the website:

"GJSS aims at providing examples of and discussions over pluralism in methodology across the social sciences, thus building opportunities for progress through dialogue and reciprocal awareness.

In light of increasing interest in and need for interdisciplinary research, GJSS provides publishing opportunities for research papers falling outside the scope of traditional subject divisions.

GJSS encourages the increase of communication and constructive criticism amongst graduate students and established academics.
GJSS aims to facilitate dialogue across communities of social scientists by updating users about seminars, courses, conferences and other relevant events.

GJSS promotes the professional development of graduates within academia, by (i) encouraging awareness of publishing and editing skills among postgraduates; (ii) providing first-hand knowledge of publishing processes within academia; and (iii) providing updated information about funding and career opportunities.

GJSS encourages the participation of both Master and PhD students in the editorial board and the administration of the journal. This not only offers invaluable work experience but also an opportunity for designing and collaborating on a student-run journal."
