"BWGF emphasizes the study of Black women, gender, families, and communities. The journal welcomes research and theoretical submissions in history, sociology, anthropology, social psychology, education, economics, political science, and English that are framed by Black Women's Studies perspectives and a policy or social analysis. Interdisciplinary, comparative, and transnational studies of the African Diaspora and other women, families, and communities of color are also encouraged."
