This is an accepted article with a DOI pre-assigned that is not yet published.Quantitative tools for evaluating energy justice allow users to make comparisons across options quickly. Most of these tools overrepresent distributional justice, however, at the expense of other dimensions that are more difficult to measure (e.g., procedural, recognition, and reparative justice). Although funding, time, and an openness to incorporating qualitative know…
Bodily excess and the practice of wonder in sexuality education
The concept of excess is often used to exclude or render deviant marginalised individuals and groups, reifying hegemonic structures of control and domination. Feminists and other critical scholars, however, have utilised the concept of excess to resist such normalising efforts. In conversation with these critical scholars, this paper advances the concept of bodily excess as a tool for reimagining the project(s) of sexuality education towards capa…
The Ethnographic Case
case of the cake: Dilemmas of giving and taking
The Ethnographic Case
In 26 gripping and provocative installations, the new and updated volume showcases research from influential feminist and decolonial scholars. Where anthropology has long sought to identify patterns in culture, this volume makes space for inquiry focused on particularities and advocates for an intellectual politics where that which seemingly doesn’t fit is still allowed to matter
Pluralizing energy justice
Justice represents not only a moral obligation but can enhance the legitimacy and acceptance of a rapid push toward global decarbonization. Innovations in technology, even those geared toward sustainability, can both reinforce and introduce new inequalities and disparities across populations, while also perpetuating environmental degradation. The concept of energy justice has emerged as a conceptual, methodological, and empirical tool to both hig…
Weeding Out the Weak
COVID-19 has radically reshaped the labor dreams of many U.S. workers. This essay uses pre-pandemic fieldwork in an oil and gas “boomtown” to consider post-work imaginaries in the wake and midst of COVID-19. I use feminist and disability studies perspectives to argue that economic analyses must not only move beyond the discourse of “jobs” but must also attend to gender-based and ableist modes of discrimination that persist even in so-called boomi…

There’s always a [white] man in the loop’
In 2014, the United States Federal Aviation Administration chose six sites at which to conduct research crucial to integrating unmanned aircraft systems into the nation's airspace. Analyzing data collected from five focus groups that we conducted at one of these test sites, this article centers on the gendered and racialized politics of civilian unmanned aircraft. Civilian drone use remains a relatively unchallenged space for displaying hypermasc…
A black and white issue? Learning to see the intersectional and racialized dimensions of gynecological pain
The (Mis)Measure of Trans
This essay considers the utility of research questions that articulate aspects of transgender lives to the nontransgender populations with whom they share a wide range of bodily and lived experience. By foregrounding transgender's instability as a research variable, the authors argue for more precise methodological orientations in trans research, particularly regarding gender and sexual orientation. Drawing on their own data with trans men whose …
