Co-editors Jennifer C. Garlen and Anissa M. Graham are currently seeking proposals for an anthology of feminist essays examining the past and present of Star Trek. We are looking for feminist readings that engage any of the Trek films, television series, or related media (games, books, convention culture, etc). We welcome any proposals considering the roles of women and gendered identity in Star Trek and are especially interested in intersectional feminist criticism that also addresses issues of race and sexuality. Graduate students and independent scholars are welcome to submit proposals. Accepted contributors will receive author credit for their work as well as a free copy of the final publication, pending acceptance of the book proposal by an academic publisher. For questions or proposal submissions, please email Jennifer at jennifer.garlen@gmail.com.

Jennifer and Anissa are the co-editors of two previous essay anthologies for McFarland: Kermit Culture (2009) and The Wider Worlds of Jim Henson (2013). Both have also contributed to several academic essay anthologies about film, television, and popular culture.
