Chicana/Latina Studies is an interdisciplinary, peer reviewed, biannual publication of the Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social (Women Active in Letters and Social Change). The Journal is committed to exploring Chicana/Latina experiences through research articles, literary criticism, creative writing, review essays, occasional commentaries, and book reviews.
We are pleased to announce our launch of PeerTrack, an online manuscript managing system developed by Aries Systems and used by over 2300 journals. With PeerTrack, authors will be able to submit original and revised manuscripts, receive reviewers’ feedback in a timely manner, and track correspondence from  the Editors. More information can be found in this letter from the Editors.
As the publication of a diverse association, the Journal is receptive to all scholarly methods and theoretical perspectives that examine, describe, analyze, or interpret the experiences of Chicanas/Latinas and Native women. The Journal welcomes English or Spanish submissions of scholarship, commentary, reviews, and creative writing.
History
The Journal, then known as Voces, was originally housed at the Chicana/Latina Research Center of the University of California at Davis. Voces was published between 1996-2001 under the management of Adaljiza Sosa-Riddell. From 2003 to 2009, the Journal was housed at Loyola Marymount University and was renamed Chicana/Latina Studies: The Journal of Mujeres Activas en Letras y Cambio Social. Under the co-editorship of KarenMary Davalos (2003-2009), Alicia Partnoy (2003-2006), and Tiffany Ana López (2006-2009), the Journal established itself as an interdisciplinary space of intellectual rigor.
In the Summer of 2009, the Journal transitioned to the College of Education and Human Development (COEHD) at the University of Texas at San Antonio under the Editorship of Josie Mendez-Negrete, with Tiffany Ana López serving as co-editor (2009-2011).  Additional history on C/LS may be found in Volume 9(1) under Editor Commentary.  The Journal moved to Arizona State University under the co-editorship of Gloria Cuádraz and Alejandra Elenes in the summer of 2014.
