Field Materialities
Before becoming Women’s Studies Quarterly in 1981, the Women’s Studies Newsletter ( WSN ) chronicled the institutionalization of women’s and gender studies (WGS) through the 1970s. It maps the field’s early years and the range of creative, practical strategies educators, administrators, and students used to find space for a feminist education within a hostile institution. In this article, I explore the value of a publication like WSN and argue fo…
Insurgent Aesthetics
created a historical, political and social shock wave for the United States, with ripple effects spreading transnationally. Although colonial and imperial violence have been foundational to US nation-building for centuries, there is now a 'before 9/11' and 'after 9/11' that frames juridical practices, lawmaking, economic practices and military tactics.

Sisterly Solidarity
The wide circulation of the terms ‘sister’ and ‘sisterhood’ in the 1970s suggests the extent to which the idea and practice of sisterhood shaped US feminism at that time. Four decades later sisterhood is often referred to within the context of critique, namely that primarily white, middle-class women imagined sisterhood in a way that reproduced racism, homophobia, classism and US-centrism, and that erased differences among women. Without dismissi…
