You are invited to submit abstracts for a chapter in an upcoming edited collection focused on reimagining transnational resistance and solidarity through the Woman, Life, Freedom (WLF) movement. This volume aims to explore the historical formations, local meanings, and transnational implications of the WLF movement as an ongoing feminist struggle that has profoundly disrupted theocratic patriarchy, public culture, and gender norms in Iran, while generating tangible reverberations worldwide. Palgrave Macmillan has expressed interest in publishing this collection, pending peer-review.

This volume began with the following question: What is transnational praxis in a chaotic and fragmented world characterized by blatant despotism, mass atrocities, and the suppression of dissent operating alongside creative modes of resistance? Can transnational movements for equality, freedom, and democracy be mobilized across national borders, linking grassroots activism to global analysis, and translated into diverse contexts while reinforcing, transforming, or even undermining one another?

Full chapters should be between 6,000 and 7,000 words, including references and notes, and must consist of original work that has not been previously published elsewhere. If you are interested in contributing to this volume, please complete the submission form by August 1, 2026. For inquiries about the volume, please contact the co-editors, Drs. Roksana Alavi, Sona Kazemi, and Ladan Zarabadi, at [email protected]. An official call for chapters can be found here.
