“ Convivencia
Dominant models of academic mentorship reinforce hierarchical exchanges that overlook power imbalances and biases experienced by BIPOC faculty. We argue for feminist mentoring rooted in relationality, storytelling, and awareness of institutional inequity. Over four years, our work included: (1) a mentoring-needs survey of 180+ BIPOC faculty nationwide; (2) a pilot, institutionally independent, cohort-based mentoring program for early- and mid-car…
Carrying On, One Keystroke at a Time
Resilience requires discomfort
Populist-fueled global tensions have continued to grow over the past year, and we now see regular civil protest as well as educational institutions, public care agencies, and goodwill institutions strain under the weight of culture wars.As these tensions have grown, we have struggled-as individuals and collectives-with how to respond.Between reinvigorated calls to resist, rest, care, and get activated in response to rapid-fire, scatter-focused pr…
New directions in feminist anthropology
This issue showcases how the global breadth of feminist anthropology is reshaping both the foci and methodological toolkits for anthropology. With articles ethnographically located in Colombia, India, Japan, Korea, the Philippines, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States, feminist anthropologists in this issue focus on agency and activism, kinship, gender expression, reproductive justice, and the ways we need to rethink the work of…
Culturally and socially shifting
Gendered politics and issues of political concern have been grabbing headlines in complex ways in 2024. The World Population Review (2024)1 indicates that women are currently 21% of Prime Ministers and 26% of Parliamentarians of 193 UN Member States and that female leaders also comprise 34% of local government positions. On October 3, 2024, days after Mexico swore in its first female executive, Presidente Sheinbaum, The Pew Research Center clarif…
Emerging frameworks for feminist scholarship
Building on the diverse scholarship of our last few issues, in this issue of Feminist Anthropology we share emerging frameworks for thinking through feminist scholarship in our continuously shifting world.Having explored themes in past issues such as healing and possibility in the wake of the pandemic and the future of reproductive rights, these articles offer additional perspectives on pressing challenges of the moment using an expanded feminist…
Colonial necropolitics in responding to gender‐based violence amidst cascading disasters in Puerto Rico
This article analyzes how the practice of cascading disaster responses and the relative erasure of increasing cases of gender‐based violence (GBV), including feminicidio, or feminicide, by the government in Puerto Rico evidence the structural and regularly reproduced vulnerability of marginalized populations. Drawn from fieldwork in southwestern Puerto Rico between 2019 and 2020, this essay juxtaposes the lived experience of frontline GBV service…
Markings
This volume begins a period of transition. The previous year was challenging, filled with natural disasters on top of pandemic fatigue and surging inflation across the globe. Though unintentional, the first issue in this volume of Feminist Anthropology seems to hone in on healing and possibility. Perhaps after the past few years of pandemic-informed global fear and loss and rising neoliberal agendas, this issue's contributors inevitably offer per…
Justice, rights and the futures of reproduction
Conclusion
The concluding reflection of the special section "Expert Witnessing in Asylum Practice" puts the particular challenges for anthropologists in context. It highlights the ways that issues of essentialism are particular to our discipline and points to current and future general challenges for expert witnesses working in the U.S. asylum system
Rules Matter
This article describes and analyzes the American Anthropological Association’s adoption of a sexual harassment and sexual assault policy as a part of the groundswell of recognition that sexual violence detrimentally shapes scientific inquiry, a recognition catalyzed by the #MeToo cultural moment. This is a case study of what Marcel Mauss terms “policy as total social phenomena,” which narrates a significant historical pivot in the story of femini…
Sexual Violence in Intimacy
From Sparks and Embers
This conclusion to the In-Focus Issue on generation and politics in Central America places the concept of generation in dialogue with an intellectual genealogy emanating from JLACA's twenty-five years of publication, recent debates about decolonization within anthropology, and personal reflections from the coauthors
Feminist Anthropology Is Teamwork
Transforming Teaching towards Empowered Learning
This article calls for revisiting how we teach anthropology in light of three mutually reinforcing “moments” – the #MeToo Movement, the development of the American Anthropological Association’s first Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault Policy, and shifting student expectations regarding personal safety and wellbeing. By thinking anthropologically about anthropology, against a backdrop of larger questions for the discipline as a whole, we single …

Violated Women, Reason, andLo Políticoin the Imaginary of the Guatemalan Nation
Guatemalan newspapers are dappled with the spectre of women's violence and the bodily evidence of the military response that is typical for a woman's transgression of gender roles. Gendered representations of violence - so often repeated in the media - engender particular forms of political agency. This article explores how political violence is imagined with women's bodies and suggests that such violence is always built on pre-existing cultural …

Art and Labor in the Framing ofGuatemala's Dead
InGuatemala, how did photographers work to represent atrocity? Did they think of the images of death they produced as art? As work? InGuatemala, visual narratives provided by the camera were often more successful than the bullet at creating a sense of political clarity that actively obfuscated the disruptive and destructive force of political violence. Graphic reporters, as photographic journalists called themselves, actively worked to give image…
Anthropologies at the Front Lines of Gender‐Based Violence edited by Jennifer R. Weis and Hilary J. Haldane
Precursors to Femicide
Today women in Guatemala are killed at nearly the same rate as they were in the early 1980s when the civil war became genocidal. Yet the current femicide epidemic is less an aberration than a reflection of the way violence against women has become normalized in Guatemala. Used to re-inscribe patriarchy and sustain both dictatorships and democracies, gender-based violence morphed into femicide when peacetime governments became too weak to control …

Portuguese Women in Toronto
Wenona Giles takes a new look at migration in this innovative study of Portuguese women by examining the gender, class, and race relations of the immigrant Portuguese population from the micro level of personal experience to the macro level of the long-lasting societal repercussions of immigrant status and welfare on their children. Comparing across two generations of Portuguese Canadian women, the book delves into issues such as cultural heterog…
Constructing the Threat of Insurgency
The counterinsurgent state is the continuing legacy of political violence that afflicted Guatemala for the last thirty years of the 20th century. As the Guatemalan counterinsurgent state entrenched itself into the country's social fabric, it promoted a highly unequal social, cultural, and economic development that still plagues the country today. The paper explores how economic, gender and ethnic inequalities were heightened by the integration of…
Chapter 6 Bloody Deeds/Hechos Sangrientos
When States Kill
Since the early twentieth century, technological transfers from the United States to Latin American countries have involved technologies of violence for social control. As the chapters in this book illustrate, these technological transfers have taken various forms, including the training of Latin American military personnel in surveillance and torture and the provision of political and logistic support for campaigns of state terror. The human cos…
