The Social Science Research Network has launched a Women’s & Gender Studies Research Network with a robust list of topics and subtopics, as well as the customary Professional Announcements and Professional Job Openings.
Although I remain wary of the future and operations of SSRN after its acquisition by Elsevier (I, for one, have found that it has become more difficult to post there substantive materials — other than published articles), I do think the new Women’s & Gender Studies Research Netwoork is a boon for legal scholars doing work related to women, gender and sexuality. A list of all the topics and subtopics appears after the fold.
