European Bipoc Feminisms
Scholarship and activism that center Black feminist thought, Women-of-Color feminisms, Indigenous feminisms, and Queer of Color critiques are not new in the European context.However, they are often overshadowed by white European feminist and queer theorization and political action on the one hand, and U.S.-centric scholarship and activism on the other.In one of the few edited volumes to take up Black feminism from a European perspective, Akwugo E…
World-Making in the Academy
In this roundtable discussion, faculty of color associated with a Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies program reflect on our experiences within the academy. As faculty of color connected to the notion of the transnational through our various identities, experiences, family histories, and places of origin, we discuss the various ways we navigate academic spaces.

From Afro-Sweden with Defiance
Anti-racist activist Maria Teresa “Tess” Asplund, who is Afro-Swedish, became known around the world in 2016 when a photograph of her stepping out in front of three hundred marching neo-Nazis from the Nordic Resistance Movement went viral on social media. Tess raised her clenched fist in protest, as part of a counter-demonstration. The recognizability of her clenched fist as an act of protest struck a chord with anti-racist activists and movement…

Mixed, Blended Nation , and the politics of multiraciality in the United States
How do visual narratives of multiraciality shape, reflect, reinforce, and challenge discourses of race? In this essay, I consider the function of photographic narratives that seek to bring visibility and legitimacy to multiraciality. Reading Mixed: Portraits of multiracial kids by Kip Fulbeck and Blended Nation: Portraits and interviews of mixed race America by Mike Tauber against three significant US-based historical examples of photographic nar…
Junior faculty of color in the corporate university
In higher education today, an overwhelming acceptance of neoliberal and neoconservative ideologies that advance corporate logics of efficiency, competition and profit maximization is commonplace. Market-driven logics and neoconservative ideals shape decision-making about what is taught, how material is taught, who teaches, who does research, who belongs, what counts as valid research and, ultimately, the purposes of higher education. Against this…
Practices of whiteness
US colleges and universities today intensively market themselves in order to compete for prospective students. One of the most widespread marketing tools used to attract students are admissions viewbooks, which are designed to provide potential students with favorable impressions of the many institutions to which they may apply. In this study, we explore how racial diversity is represented in undergraduate admissions viewbooks. Because viewbooks …
Identity, Fluidity, and Groupism
The emergence of university courses and student organizations by, for, and about biracial and multiracial people strongly indicates that this identity deserves social and academic legitimacy and in
Coercion, possibility, or context? Questioning the role of private foundations in American higher education
As an academic, I grapple with the role of private foundations in higher education; on the one hand, as a critical scholar-activist committed to radical social and economic change, and on the other hand, as a participant in foundation-funded academic projects. I recognize the contradictory position I occupy within an institution that has historically served the status quo. In this paper I attempt to deal with the question of whether foundation fu…
