PhiloSOPHIA
philoSOPHIA: A Journal of Transcontinental Feminism is an international, interdisciplinary, peer‑reviewed journal published twice a year by SUNY Press. It covers feminist theory and continental philosophy and is produced by the Society for Continental Feminism, which was founded in 2008 in Tennessee by Kelly Oliver and Stacy Keltner.
The editors-in-chief are Alyson Cole and Kyoo Lee. The journal began in 2008 as philoSOPHIA: A Journal of Continental Feminism and was established in 2011 after the society’s third annual conference. In 2018 it “transcontinentalized” to broaden its scope, adopting the subtitle A Journal of Transcontinental Feminism to emphasize global feminist dialogue beyond any single culture or region.
The name philoSOPHIA honors Sophia, the feminine aspect of God who loves knowledge, to show that women who love philosophy do not have to love patriarchy. Since issue 9.1 (2019), the cover features a Lorna Simpson collage titled Unanswerable. The journal is indexed in several scholarly databases.
