NORA - Nordic Journal of Feminist and Gender Research

NORA is a multi-disciplinary journal of Nordic feminist and gender research.

Its purpose is to provide a Nordic perspective on an international research field and to make feminist and gender research located in and/or relevant to the Nordic countries visible internationally. As an English-language journal, NORA is committed to situating and mapping the breadth and depth of Nordic feminist and gender research today, so that it is seen both in transnational dialogue and in connection with other fields. To this end, NORA publishes articles, position papers and review essays of interdisciplinary interest that combine international dialogues with specifically Nordic materials, topics, methodologies and theory formations. As the largest gender research journal in the Nordic region, NORA is committed to publishing articles in a wide range of disciplines, such as education, health sciences, history, law, literature, philosophy, political science, religion, sociology, and science and technology studies. Whether conceptual, theoretical or empirical, submissions should participate in, or reflect on, Nordic issues, discussions and research interests in a globalized world. In addition to articles, NORA welcomes open letters, position papers and comprehensive review articles that present emerging trends in feminist studies or thematic overviews of major theoretical perspectives or research fields. Contributions to NORA should be accessible to a diverse readership of interested academic readers. Authors are therefore encouraged to explain discipline-specific terms and methodologies and to show how their findings may have relevance for gender researchers in other disciplines.

The year 2026 will mark a centennial after Ellen Key’s (1849-1926) death. NORA - Nordic Journal of Feminist and Gender Research - will dedicate a special issue to a critical approach to Ellen Key’s legacy within the feminist thought and feminist movement in Eastern, South-Eastern, and Central Europe.
Ellen Key was a key figure in the history of feminist thought in the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Her ideas about women, marriage, motherhood, gender equality, upbringing and education, interior design and the ways of living shaped not only the feminist discourse of her time but also the intellectual discussions at large. While Key’s influence is well-documented in Western European and North American feminist circles, less attention has been given to her reception and intellectual legacy in Eastern, South-Eastern, and Central Europe. This special issue seeks to address this gap by looking at the transnational networks that carried her ideas across borders, the ways in which these ideas were refracted through local political, cultural, and social contexts, and how they shaped feminist thought in the region.
We welcome contributions that critically examine how Key’s works were circulated, received, interpreted, and adapted in the diverse and politically turbulent regions of Eastern, South-Eastern, and Central Europe during Ellen Key’s life and after her death. By this issue, NORA will connect developments of the feminist thought and feminist movements in Nordic countries with the feminist intellectual discussions and feminist and women’s movements in Eastern, South-Eastern, and Central Europe.

Our Story

NORA is a multi-disciplinary international journal of feminist and gender research, with a distinct Nordic edge. Its purpose is to provide a Nordic perspective on an international research field and to make feminist and gender research located in and/or relevant to the area visible internationally. As an English-language journal, NORA is committed to situating and mapping the breadth and depth of Nordic feminist and gender research today, and to promoting transnational and transdisciplinary dialogue.

As the leading multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary journal of gender and feminist research in the region, NORA publishes articles in a wide range of disciplines, using diverse theory, data and methods. Whether conceptual, theoretical, empirical or methodological, submissions should participate in, or reflect on, Nordic issues, discussions and research interests in the globalized world. NORA welcomes research articles, review articles, position papers, essays and book reviews that present emerging trends in feminist and gender studies or thematic overviews of major theoretical perspectives and research fields. Submissions should be of interdisciplinary interest and combine international dialogues with materials, theory formations or topics of northern interest and relevance. NORA welcomes submissions that discuss intersectionality and complexities of gender, also written from outside of the Nordic region.

Contributions to NORA should be accessible to a diverse readership of interested academic readers. Authors are therefore encouraged to explain discipline-specific terms and methodologies and may show how their findings have relevance for gender researchers in other disciplines. The articles in NORA are also relevant for policy makers, equality consultants, cultural workers and social activists who seek insights into gendered and intersecting inequality, relations of power within and across state, family, work, civil society and fields of culture in Nordic societies.
