Nora is an interdisciplinary journal of gender and women's studies and a channel for high-quality research from all disciplines.

Emphasis is placed on giving a Nordic profile to feminist research, with regard to both contents and theoretical and methodological approaches. Nora aims to discuss and examine the realities and myths of women's and men's lives in the Nordic countries, historically and today.

At the same time Nora is international in scope, offering a forum for theoretical dialogue and debate on research of general interest to feminist scholars and scientists. Nora acknowledges the need to speak across borders, challenging academic, linguistic and national limits and boundaries. Considering the diversity of women's experiences within the Nordic countries and the broad spectrum of viewpoints and approaches that characterize modern research on women and gender, Nora especially encourages papers that have an interdisciplinary perspective and are theoretically self-reflective.

Nora publishes original research articles, short communications and review essays. Review essays encompassing books published in one of the Nordic languages are encouraged in order to promote trans-national communication among feminist scholars and activists in the Nordic countries and across the world. The editors wish to create a journal with a broader content within each issue and welcome manuscripts on all subjects within Gender Studies in the Nordic context. Nora will continue to publish occasional themed issues, but not on a regular basis. For further information, please go to Themed Issues. Authors should submit the manuscript in electronic form by e-mail to the editor at: nora@tandf.no.

Nora also welcomes review essays. These are thematic overviews of major perspectives or approaches and of newer emerging trends in interdisciplinary feminist studies.
