Our Mission Statement

Cultivate is an inclusive feminist journal led by the postgraduate community within the Centre for Women’s Studies at the University of York. The journal champions feminist voices and aims to build and share knowledge by forging dialogues between the academic, activist, creative, verbal, and visual. Cultivate is politically and socially engaged to challenge institutions, transform power-dynamics, promote justice, and strengthen feminist movements.

What work do we accept?

We accept academic essays as well as cultural commentary and creative work. Both academics and non-academics are encouraged to submit material, in all mediums of art and critical thought, including but not limited to essays, photo essays, poetry, videos, podcasts. Please check our latest call for submissions for guidelines as these are updated with every new issue. We are are open to global submissions.

Why feminism?

Feminism is a journey; rarely smooth and always challenging. This journal seeks to acknowledge the diverse roads that we travel and create a platform which nurtures the sharing of experiences, the telling of tales, the subverting of paradigms and the expression of dissents towards a goal of shared learning and feminist development.
