Open Boundaries 3: Justification for Changes As a result of the seven reviewers' comments and our reflections on the last two issues of Open Boundaries, we have decided that some of the materials need to be updated to better attend to the changing intellectual feminist landscape and to convey the significance of these issues through more accessible materials.

The following “Table of Contents” represents our preliminary thinking about the content of this revised Open Boundaries. We have selected 19 articles for possible deletion. In selecting these pieces, we have been guided by the evaluations of the 7 reviewers. In addition, we plan to remove articles with dated content, replacing them with recent articles on the same themes.

We also made a decision to shorten the introductory section on Women’s Studies by deleting the articles by both Forsyth and Luhmann. We have decided to expand our own introductory essay to provide an overview of contemporary debates about Women’s Studies. The deletion of these two essays, which received mixed evaluations by reviewers, will make room for new content in the collection.

In the following Table of Contents, we have indicated possible new articles for inclusion. To emphasize, our thinking is preliminary; much of the work of the new volume lies in selecting appropriate new content. The selection of new content will guided by two primary objectives:  To provided updated, recent articles on existing themes  To add new content reflectng the reviewers’ comments that Open Boundaries should include more humanities content, specifically through articles that explore popular culture and representation. We are committed to maintaining the text at approximately 300 pages.

The thrust of the text will remain the same – that is, to engage students in a range of debates within Canadian feminism. Through the inclusion of new articles, covering such themes as popular culture, representation, the media, digital technology, we will be making a greater effort to engage young women in feminist scholarship. These themes are central to “Third Wave Feminism.” We have found that when we teach from a place where students experience and/or consider themselves experts, they are more likely to engage in the assigned readings. Hence, we have decided to incorporate a number of new pieces that examine the critical issues of paid work, sexuality and feminism through pieces focusing on students' day-to-day experience with popular culture and new technologies.
