Tell is the Department of Gender, Women’s and Sexuality Studies student run digital literary magazine of art, writing and multimedia. Its second issue is now posted: https://heyyoutell.us/tell-issue-2-political-intimacies/

Between you and the people you love, between you and your body, between you and your dreams, regrets, and fears, where and how does power and politics insert themselves?

Organized by a team of graduate and undergraduate students at the University of Iowa working with GWSS, Tell is dedicated to developing new voices in political arts and a compassionate and involved editorial team that’s willing to elevate the work of others and stand by them. Our mission is to create a platform on which underrepresented voices may express themselves, speak on their lived experiences, and connect their unique stories to timely discourses on the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality and ability.

We believe the only kind of publication worth doing (and worth reading) is one that’s unapologetically experimental and politically aware. We invite you to share work with us with this same social justice imperative. Speak, write, draw, paint, dance, sing, criticize, analyze, celebrate your insight and resistance. Name the world. Tell.
