Instruction For Authors

KaosQ+ is a journal with a blind peer referee system and it aims at a collection of reflective practices on issues ranging from genders, sexualities to class and ethnicity and their intersections in different contexts such as arts, history, sociology, politics or medicine. 

We seek individual and/or collective contributions of people from various institutions, different backgrounds or identities who are engaged in subjects of genders or sexualities inside or outside formal educational institutions. Contributions may reflect variety of approaches and be in various forms (reports, conference proceedings, historical essays etc.). There are certain rules we expect our authors to consider before submitting their works:

Authors are required to send their manuscripts with abstracts (of approximately 100- 150 words) in both English and Turkish and with 5 keywords that denote the subject matter and/or questions that the text deal with.
