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 c
onnection 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.
