Surfacing's Second Issue is Out

I don't mean for the title to sound like an advertisment. I guess its a fancier advertisment...a press release if you will.

Surfacing is an interdisciplinary journal for gender in the global South published by the Cynthia Nelson Institute for Gender and Women's Studies at the American University in Cairo.

In its second issue since inception, Surfacing surfaces the forms of conflict that manifest itself through masculinities, nation-state, the liberal and neo-liberal regimes of international governmentality—highlighting the inherently gender-biased categories they create.
