The Rag
General Information
The Rag (f.k.a. The Monthly Rag) is a student publication sponsored by the Feminist & Gender Studies Department that publishes feminist analysis and ideas.
The Rag accepts submissions from the entire CC community; contributors do not need to be affiliated with Feminist & Gender Studies. A call for submissions is typically sent out and posted on this page in fall and again in spring. The department also typically hires one or two paid coordinators for the publication. For more information, please contact Whitney Hampson, the department academic administrative assistant.
Along with distributing print editions on campus, we began publishing digital editions on Dr. Heidi R. Lewis's website during the 2015-2016 academic year. Those editions are now available below. Past editions, including those published prior to 2015, can be found in CC's Tutt Library Digital Archives.
