Occupied Land is an Access Issue: Interventions in Feminist Disability Studies and Narratives of Indigenous Activism Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Jess Cowing
Native/Indigenous narratives of health and environmental activism often engage with feminist disability issues to center the connections between land, health, sovereignty, and historical legacies of settler militarized colonialism. Within the context from which Native women and youth act as key leaders in health and environmental activism, expanded modes of feminist disability inquiry could interrogate

Towards a Trans Feminist Disability Studies Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Niamh Timmons
In this article, I investigate the ways in which Transfeminism and Trans Women can be more integrated and entangled within feminist disability studies and Disability Justice, and vice versa. This would make the field a seemingly rich arena for considering the linkages between Trans Women, Transfeminism, dis/ability, and feminism. Yet, the primary texts of the feminist disability studies consistently

Vulvodynia, It’s in My Head: Mad Methods Toward Crip Coalition Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Renee Dumaresque
This article employs a mad transdisciplinary approach to autoethnography to detail vulvodynia — or chronic vulvar pain — within the system of (dis)ability. Through autoethnography, the self operates as a mobile orientation from which to identify and disrupt the colonial rationalities that differentially construct and narrate vulvodynia across sites of madness and disability. Through historical, discursive

Finding Tender Roots: Affiliation, Disability and Racial Melancholia in Monique Truong’s Bitter in the Mouth Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Amanda Ong
Early on in Bitter in the Mouth, we learn that the protagonist, Linda Linh-Dao Nguyen Hammerick, has auditory-gustatory synesthesia—that is, nearly every word she hears evokes a specific taste. Hammerick, for example, tastes like Dr. Pepper and Linda tastes like mint. There are many articles that analyze Linda’s synesthesia but few articles approach the text through the lens of disability studies.

Visionary Politics and Methods in Feminist Disability Studies Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2020-01-01 Ashley Mog,Jess Waggoner
In this introduction we explore the genealogies and methodologies of feminist disability studies (FDS). A feminist methodology is politically situated with a focus on the material conditions and social and cultural structures that marginalized people bear, experience, and resist. Methods, and the theories that underpin and create those methodological tools, can open or foreclose possibilities for praxis

Bad Gurley Feminism: The Myth of Post-War Domesticity Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2019-02-01 Erin Amann Holliday-Karre, Qatar University
According to feminist history, the 1950s constitute a lapse in feminist literature as women in the post-war era were ushered into the realm of domesticity. In this article I argue that this perceived literary “gap” was both created and perpetuated by feminist historians and scholars who insist that Betty Friedan’s The Feminine Mystique (1963) was the defining feminist text of the time. I offer an alternative

Intersectionality in the Contemporary Women’s Marches: Possibilities for Social Change Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2019-02-01 Sujatha Moni, California State University, Sacramento
The Women’s Marches of January 2017 and 2018 were some of the largest mass demonstrations in history. They represent an important stage in the American feminist movement in its current iteration. Unlike the first and second waves of the movement, which were led by privileged class cisgender white women, the leadership of these marches includes women of color who have brought a vision of intersectionality

Against All Odds: A Legacy of Appropriation, Contestation, and Negotiation of Arab Feminisms in Postcolonial States Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2019-02-01 Hoda Elsadda, Cairo University
Arab feminists have always faced challenges related to the burden of colonialism, accusations of westernization, isolation from their cultural heritage, and elitism, but the biggest challenge of all has been the fact that their activism and their entire lives have all been in the context of authoritarian postcolonial states. This article engages with a persistent challenge to Arab feminists that questions

The Maternal Assemblage: Nonprocreative Maternity as Contagion and Resistance Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2018-12-01 Charles Hicks, Texas Christian University
This article analyzes the consistent problematic of nonprocreative maternal identity, specifically its positioning in a heteronormative symbolic framework as the antithesis of biological or “real” motherhood. Using Lee Edelman’s work on the queer body’s relationship to a futural horizon, the first part addresses how the epistemological framework whereby nonprocreative maternal bodies are subjected

Battleground Texas: Gendered Media Framing of the 2014 Texas Gubernatorial Race Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2018-12-01 Susan Waters, Tennessee State University, Elizabeth Dudash-Buskirk, Rachel Pipan, Missouri State University, American University
Feminist political theory is a sprawling theoretical field that intertwines sociological and philosophical perspectives and applies them to the study of campaigns, policy, voting, and the general structure of what Americans call politics. In Western democratic republics, the concept of participation has been hotly debated, specifically with regard to voting. Applying the critical lens of an intersectional

Precarious Responsibility: Teaching with Feminist Politics in the Marketized University Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2018-12-01 Lena Wånggren, University of Edinburgh
One of the most pressing characteristics of the neoliberal restructuring of academia, together with increased managerialism, performativity measures, and a “customer service” approach, is the casualization or precarization of academic work. Casualization entails a fragmentation of academic work, where academics are forced to move between workplaces on hourly-paid and fixed-term contracts, often doing

Teaching Feminist Research Methods: A Comment and an Evaluation Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2018-01-01 Shannon N. Davis, George Mason University, Angela Hattery, George Mason University
What are feminist research methods and how are they different from other, non-feminist research methods? This paper begins by interrogating the question of how research methods become labeled as feminist. Building on this knowledge, we detail how this investigation guided our implementation of a new feminist research methods course sequence in a Women and Gender Studies program. This article is not

"We Aren't All the Same": The Singularity of Reproductive Experiences amidst Institutional Objectification in Argentina's Public Maternal Health Services Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2018-01-01 Sabrina S. Yañez, CONICET (Argentina)
Reproductive health services in Argentina are organized in ways that depersonalize, standardize, and fragment women’s bodies and lives. Alternatively, women’s accounts of their pregnancy, birth, and postpartum experiences reveal many nuances and moments of dislocation between experience and language: their immersion in social and material conditions; traces of ambivalence and contradiction; moves between

Reclaiming the Streets: Investigating Female Experience of Cinematic Urban Violence Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2018-01-01 Angelica De Vido, University of Oxford
The spatial ideologies and narrative tropes of gendered victimhood, which are designed to induce fear and anxiety, are routinely employed to govern and restrict female access to and experience of urban spaces—both in cinematic depictions and in the real world. This paper explores how such tropes are challenged and rewritten in three screen narratives based in urban landscapes: London in Happy-GoLucky

"We Sick": The Deweys as Women's Willful Self-Destruction in Toni Morrison's Sula Journal of Feminist Scholarship Pub Date : 2018-01-01 Kathleen Anderson, Palm Beach Atlantic University, Gayle Fallon, Louisiana State University
Toni Morrison explores the complexities of race, gender, and matrilineal influence in Sula. Although much recent feminist criticism has addressed the operations of race and gender in the novel, this essay provides the first developed examination of Morrison’s strategic use of three diminutive boys, all named “dewey,” to emphasize the willfully self-destructive tendencies of the novel’s female characters
