Whither Feminist Solidarity? Critical Thinking, Racism, Islamophobia, Gender, Authoritarianism, and Sexism in a U.S. National Sample
Feminist solidarities form when people from a variety of social locations and accompanying power and privilege actively forge alliances across difference(s) to support gender equity and justice and to resist systemic gender bias.

An Analysis of Black Widow (2021)
The representation of superheroines in comic books and comic book movies tend to subscribe to the patriarchal logic of the male gaze, with male subjects looking at women as hypersexualized objects and corporeal spectacles. Black Widow is the most fiercely feminist offering in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to date, featuring young women resisting a powerful, rich, old, white male villain and fighting against his evil design to control the world. T…
Welcome to the Anthropocene
A recurring narrative in popular culture is imminent global catastrophe. Contextualizing the cultural phenomenon of disaster porn, I discuss the Anthropocene and explore Gregory Bateson’s ecosystemic theoretical lens and how errors in epistemology precipitate and perpetuate global climate problems. Next I discuss the pros and cons, and intended and unintended consequences, of disaster porn’s propagation in its three main forms. I then apply theme…
About time
This article focuses on the underlying transformation produced by social ecological crisis– a transformation in the time scales for human agency. First, we trace how authors who conjunct readings on the question of climate change and time open up the space to question the race-based temporal technologies and their entanglement with racial planetary-capital regimes. Second, we engage with transition and adaptation. Transition and adaptation are co…

How Wonder Woman is, and is Not, a Feminist Superheroine Movie

The Wake of War
Armed conflicts disrupt families worldwide. This study examines the adaptation process of Greek Cypriot refugee families who suffered the traumas of displacement and death of family members in 1974.

Results indicate that the resources of social support, income, and ad…

Differences Making a Difference
As the field of family therapy continues to gain exposure both in the U.S. and abroad, family therapists and their supervisors are increasingly likely to come from diverse cultural backgrounds.

Epistemologies of Peace
Poetics, as an epistemological approach, articulates alternative imaginaries to those proffered by the neoliberal world order. With a long history of drawing upon various sites to further its aims (e.g. the academy, the international studies association, political parties, the state), the neoliberal world order has used its epistemologies to constitute a hegemony emphasizing the state as the primary actor of political life.

Autour des convers de Saint-Jean-des-Vignes de Soissons (Aisne). Quelques hypothèses dans le contexte d'une fouille éventuelle
Cette étude considère l'état de nos connaissances sur la présence de convers à l'abbaye de Saint-Jean- des-Vignes. Sur la base de données picturales, nous suggérons que l'édifice à deux étages, situé avant sa destruction dans la basse-cour de l'abbaye, a servi de bâtiment des convers. Nous attribuons un chapiteau monumental, qui se trouve actuellement dans les réserves de l'abbaye, à cet édifice, ce qui nous permet un essai de datation autour des…
