Border Patrol Cowboys: U.S. Rodeo Performance, Property and Whiteness
This autoethnography analyzes the U.S. Border Patrol's sponsorship of Professional Bull Riding (PBR). I consider the Border Patrol “capture” halftime shows to critique white nationalist narratives in these popular contexts of “Western” entertainment. I consider how rodeos performatively affirm the U.S. as a white supremacist nation. I theorize how rodeo and PBR commodify and normalize the spectacle of land ownership and patrol of the U.S./México …
MeToo, the Icty, and Intersectionality in Postsocialist Global Capitalism
In this essay, we theorize and analyze (some of) the intercultural and intersecting structures that undergird rape and its representation in #MeToo via testimonial examples from rape survivors at the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY). While we recognize the importance of the ICTY’s ruling and of #MeToo, we remain critical of the conditions that necessitated them and that continue to mark women’s bodies as vulnerable…

This essay is an account of my time in Montenegro, focusing on the gendered aspects of communication of and about property and property inheritance. I reflexively examine my own experiences as contextualized by a broader analysis of the status of Montenegrin women to create parallel personal and cultural narratives that critique the gendered politics of inheritance in Montenegro. I attempt to understand the effects of cultural discourses wherein …

We offer a third wave feminist approach to feminist oral histo…
