This call for papers builds on the excellent work of the previous editions of Women Talking Politics, particularly the 2018 edition that looked to the historical parliament of the recent election for women's political leadership. Our themes for this 2025 edition encourage both looking back at the past 50 years, and looking forward to an inclusive and diverse Aotearoa. We are particularly interested in papers on what being cis women, trans women, and non-binary persons researching politics, participating in politics, and constructing politics has meant and will mean.
