Hypatia Annual Report 2018 ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2018 Prepared December 2018 Hypatia Interim Editors Ann Garry (July 2017-January 2019) Serene J. Khader (July 2017- September 2018) Alison Stone (July 2017-January 2019) Rocío Zambrana (September 2018-January 2019) Book Review Interim Editors Joan Woolfrey (July 2017-January 2019) Simon Ruchti (July 2017-October 2018) OVERVIEW Although the 2018 annual report would typically not be written until all the data from Wiley and from our own reports become available for 2018, it is being written in December 2018 because of the editorial transition taking place in January 2019. It also covers information and metrics supplied by Wiley for 2017. Similar metrics for 2018 will available in Spring 2019 from Wiley. In July 2017 the Nonprofit Board invited Ann Garry, Serene Khader, and Alison Stone to become Interim Editors of Hypatia, and Joan Woolfrey and Simon Ruchti to become interim editors of HRO. Our initial appointments were for six months, but they were extended for two subsequent six- month periods. In September 2018 Rocío Zambrana replaced Serene Khader as an Interim Co-Editor. The Managing Editors, Miranda Pilipchuk and Maja Sidzinska (HRO) worked through the entire eighteen months. From July through December 2017 Sally Scholz, previous editor, continued to work with manuscripts already in progress. The interim editors handled all manuscripts that had been submitted since July 1, 2017. Scholz prepared an annual report for 2016 in Summer 2017 and for 2017 in Winter 2018. Hypatia published Volume 33 in 2018. It included a total of 39 articles, 2 musings, 1 review essay plus introductions. 33:3 was a special issue, Gender and the Politics of Shame, edited by Clara Fischer, containing 11 articles, 2 musings, and an introduction. The other three issues contained a total of 27 articles, 3 introductions, 2 musings, and 1 review essay. Each open issue contained a cluster. The average time from original submission to final decision was 197 days (6.56 months). We have been able to start production immediately on accepted manuscripts. Time from acceptance to posting on Early View averaged 38 days. Further details are given later in the report. The 2017 Annual Report from Wiley includes the following highlights: Institutional circulation grew by more than 900 libraries worldwide, including 7,669 institutions in developing economies that 1 receive free or very lost-cost access through philanthropic arrangements. Online readership increased by 97%; readership outside the U.S. now accounts for 55% of all article downloads. Because Hypatia had almost no university support during 2018, funding was provided directly from the Nonprofit Board. Support for the staff of the journal and HRO, plus website costs totaled $105,727. See the 2018 Treasurer’s report for details. West Chester University contributed a few hours per week of graduate-assistant time for two semesters and one-fourth of one course release for Joan Woolfrey in Fall 2018; both West Chester and San Francisco State paid HRO postage expenses. We editors owe many thanks to a number of people. First, for many hours of hard work done by the Managing Editors, Miranda Pilipchuk and Maja Sidzinska (HRO). It was extremely important for the smooth functioning of both Hypatia and HRO to have experienced managing editors with excellent judgment guiding us during the last eighteen months. Members of the Nonprofit Board and of the Task Force, especially the Co-Chairs of the Task Force have also provided great support for us as well. A special note of thanks is owed to Yannik Thiem for his work on Hypatia’s website and social media. Finally, our thanks go to the entire staff at Wiley; they adapted graciously to our new circumstances and with flexibility and understanding. Thanks go as well to the Search Committee, Kim Q. Hall, Chair, Ann Garry, and Paula Moya, for their work over many months to select the new editorial team for Hypatia. We warmly welcome the new editorial team from the University of Oregon: Bonnie Mann, Erin McKenna, Camisha Russell and Rocío Zambrana, and the new Managing Editor, Sarah LaChance Adams of the University of Wisconsin—Superior. Led by Erin McKenna this fall, the new team has been working on the transition. McKenna will also co-edit HRO with Woolfrey beginning in January 2019. Zambrana assumed Khader’s duties in September, as noted above. Kaja Jenssen Rathe, incoming HRO Managing Editor, also began working in Fall 2018. We thank the entire Oregon team for their work this fall and look forward to Hypatia’s flourishing in their hands. Members from the current and new teams will meet together in early January to facilitate the transition. BOARDS AND GOVERNANCE Regular governance structures and procedures had been suspended with the resignation of the full board of Associate Editors in summer 2017. Because revision of the governance structure is still ongoing, during 2018 there was no board of Associate Editors or equivalent to provide assistance in editorial matters. Instead, beginning in February 2018 the Nonprofit Board and the Task Force functioned collectively to assist the editors on a variety of matters. Membership on the Nonprofit Board changed in February 2018 and now includes: Linda Alcoff, President, Jacqueline Scott, Secretary, Nancy Tuana, Treasurer, Talia Bettcher, Helen Longino, and Ann Garry, as editorial representative. 2 Task Force Co-chairs, Sally Haslanger, Serene Khader, and Yannik Thiem, were appointed by the Nonprofit Board in Fall 2017. Other members of the Task Force, announced in early 2018, include Maria Acosta Lopez, Teresa Blankmeyer Burke, Susan Brison, Kim Q. Hall, Amy Marvin, Camisha Russell, Naomi Scheman, Kris Sealey, Krushil Watene, and Andrey Yap. No changes were made to Advisory Board or Editorial Board due to ongoing revision of the governance structure. There was no formal group of Local Advisors. ISSUES SPECIFIC TO 2018 The interim editors, the task force, the nonprofit board, and the search committee for new editors have all worked very hard to address the deep concerns raised by a number of feminist philosophers during 2017 and especially to try to rebuild trust where it was lost. Although it has taken some time, we find a great deal of good will for Hypatia. The editors have found the vast majority of feminist philosophers are now very cooperative, for example, are willing to review for us, to submit papers, to refer authors and referees to us, and so on. Perhaps the most pressing concrete issue since July 2017 has been the decline in number of submissions. This was due initially in large part to the controversy concerning Rebecca Tuvel’s article, “In Defense of Transracialism,” that was posted on Early View in late April 2017, but likely also to the increasing number of journals that publish primarily feminist philosophy, for example, philoSOPHIA, Feminist Philosophical Quarterly (FPQ), International Journal of Feminist Approaches to Bioethics (IJFAB), and Simone de Beauvoir Studies. Hypatia remains the most prestigious among them. There are in principle sufficient numbers of manuscripts being written for all of them to flourish at the same time that more feminist manuscripts are accepted into “general” philosophical journals. In order to try to increase the number of submissions, the editors actively encouraged people to organize clusters (and in one case to “revive” a cluster that had stalled) and encouraged the submission of papers by talking to authors at conferences, through our website and social media. We also worked with those submitting special issue proposals by creating ad hoc committees to approve them as well as help to revise the calls for papers. In addition, we expanded the length of articles to 10,000 words excluding notes and references, and to 4,000 words for musings. Expansion of our word limit puts Hypatia in a more competitive position with respect to other journals. Note that in Fall 2017 Wiley abolished its page limit, so that even if our submissions increase greatly, we are in no danger of incurring extra expense. In order to try to increase the number of articles published, we emailed authors who had received conditional acceptances (either with major or minor revisions) to encourage them to prioritize revising their papers. We also worked very hard to turn submissions and reviews around very quickly and to make decisions as fast as possible. We were aided greatly by the flexibility of the copy editor, Julia Perkins, and the production staff at Wiley. They all appreciated our situation as we went 3 beyond customary deadlines. No issue in 2017 or 2018 was delayed, though some have fewer pages than in prior years. The figures given later in the report for both the number of submissions and publication time show that we have succeeded in both areas in 2018. In early October 2018 news broke in the Wall Street Journal that Peter Boghossian, James Lindsay, and Helen Pluckrose had perpetrated a “hoax,” more precisely, a two-year long series of fraudulent submissions to academic journals that they characterize as publishing “grievance studies.” Two manuscripts had been sent to Hypatia. The first, given “reject and resubmit” three times, was submitted in a fictional Latina name and concerned inclusive pedagogy. The second, accepted after one round of major revisions, was submitted using a retired faculty member’s name with his permission. It concerned humor, epistemic injustice and oppression. Upon discovering the fraud we immediately withdrew this manuscript from production. Those perpetrating the fraud posted online all the papers they submitted and the reviewers’ comments. The editorial team worked smoothly with the publisher and the nonprofit board to fashion responses to reporters. The fraud was reported on and discussed by a number of newspapers, blogs, and on social media. Of course, there was exaggeration and distortion, but at the same time a number of writers considered the paper accepted by Hypatia not to be a “hoax,” but a paper whose authors weren’t sincere in arguing for a reasonable position.

  • 6 Confronting Backlash Against Women's Rights And
    CONFRONTING BACKLASH AGAINST WOMEN’S RIGHTS AND GENDER 1 EQUALITY IN BRAZIL: A LITERATURE REVIEW AND PROPOSAL Cecilia M. B. Sardenberg 2 Maíra Kubik Mano 3 Teresa Sacchet 4 ABSTRACT: This work is part of a research and intervention programme to investigate, confront and reverse the backlash against gender equality and women’s rights in Brazil, which will be part of the Institute of Development Studies – IDS Countering Backlash Programme, supported by the Swedish International Development Agency - SIDA. This Programme was elaborated in response to the backlash against women's rights and gender equality that has emerged as a growing trend, championed by conservative and authoritarian movements gaining space across the globe, particularly during the last decade. In Brazil, this backlash has been identified as part of an ‘anti-gender’ wave, which has spread considerably since the 2014 presidential elections. Significant changes in Brazil have not only echoed strongly on issues regarding women’s rights and gender justice, but also brought disputes over gender and sexuality to the political arena. To better address the issues at hand in this work, we will contextualize them in their historical background. We will begin with a recapitulation of the re-democratization process, in the 1980s, when feminist and women’s movements emerged as a political force demanding to be heard. We will then look at the gains made during what we here term “the progressive decades for human and women’s rights”, focusing, in particular, on those regarding the confrontation of Gender Based Violence (GBV) in Brazil, which stands as one of the major problems faced by women and LGBTTQIs, aggravated in the current moment of Covid-19 pandemic.

Some of these inequalities are trivial and others are not; together they form a framework of unequal treatment that shapes women's lives. This paper asks what priority we should give inequalities that affect women; it critically analyzes Claudia Card's view that feminists ought to give evils priority. Sometimes ending gender-based inequalities is the best route to eliminating gender-based evil.
