The direct way to propose a topic or submit a text is the form on the contact page. There you choose the subject and write the full message: an idea for a column, a draft review, an interview already conducted, or a proposal for the monthly meetups.
If you prefer to ask before writing, send an email with the idea in a few lines. Texts go through proofreaders and editors who work on the narrative before publication, so it is best to send the version you are already willing to discuss.
You can also write to us directly:
Doctor Amadeo Cicchitti, Ciudad de Mendoza, Mendoza, M5500EPA, Argentina
The most direct way to take part in Gender Nations is not a long form or an account: it is writing to the editorial board with a concrete idea. It can be a topic that has not yet been covered in the columns, an experience about the name chosen at work, or a family discussion that was left open. The text does not need to be finished; it is enough to set out the angle and the context.
Those who already write for the site go through the same journey: a guest voice proposes, an editor supports the approach, and a proofreader reviews before publication. The criterion is simple: the human story should sustain the piece, not the other way around.
The editorial board reads the proposal and responds whether the topic fits the space's line or whether it should be reframed.
If it moves forward, the format is agreed on: opinion column, interview, film or series review, reading guide, or glossary entry.
An editor works on the draft with the guest voice, and a proofreader reviews the text before it is published on the site.
Published pieces can open conversation in the moderated forums and, depending on the topic, be taken up again at the monthly gatherings.
If you prefer to start by reading before writing, you can browse the blog archive or learn how the editorial team works and, once you have a clear topic, write to the editorial board.
Each format exists for a specific reason: to give space to a story, organize a conversation, or leave a question open. There are no filler sections or product promises. What follows is what is actually published and what you can do with it.
Texts authored with a full name, where the writer takes a stance on identity, culture, or everyday life. They read straight through, without footnotes or academic jargon, and often open a discussion that continues in the forums.
In-depth conversations with people who work on representation through their craft. They are published in an edited question-and-answer format, with attention to the creative process and not just the headline. They help you understand how a work comes to be, not just what it says.
Curated selections with judgment: what to watch, why, and what is worth discussing afterward. Each guide is anchored in specific titles from Argentina, the Dominican Republic, and the region, without building a closed canon or ranking by popularity.
Brief definitions in everyday language for words that come up all the time and are sometimes used incorrectly. It does not aim to settle debates or establish a single way of naming things; it works as a shared starting point.
Spaces where people from different countries share what happens to them at work, in the family, at school, and among friends. Moderation exists to sustain the exchange and keep the conversation from turning into a fight.
You can propose a topic for future conversations or submit your own text. The editorial board, together with proofreaders and editors, supports each piece before publishing it. There are also monthly gatherings to meet other people from the community.
If you want to first understand how we work on each text, go to the page about Gender Nations. And if you already have a topic or a piece of writing in mind, the path is write to the editorial board.
