The Dildo Question: When Sex Positivity And Patriarchy Clash In The Classroom, Kate Maddalena
The Dildo Question: When Sex Positivity And Patriarchy Clash In The Classroom, Kate Maddalena
Feminist Pedagogy
This Critical Commentary describes how sex positivity can be a Trojan Horse for uncritical and toxic behavior in the classroom and suggests a pedagogical approach to help avoid the co-opting of sex positive ideologies for patriarchal power.
Lessons From A First Year Seminar: Teaching “Mean Girls” To Become “Nasty Women”, Elif S. Armbruster Phd
Lessons From A First Year Seminar: Teaching “Mean Girls” To Become “Nasty Women”, Elif S. Armbruster Phd
Feminist Pedagogy
This essay explores what happened in a First Year Seminar on "Nasty Women in American Literature" when a group of students, instead of embracing the strength and independence that the phrase "nasty woman" came to embody, turned into a group of "mean girls"--led by a "queen bee"--and dominated the course through alliance-building, gossip, and distraction. The Suffolk University English professor teaching the course explains the challenging environment that ensured and what she learned from the experience, enabling her to make important changes in her teaching of the course the following semester.

Feminist Iterations Of “The Implosion”: New Techniques For Teaching About Science, Technology, And Society Through The “Implosion Project”, Maya Cruz
Feminist Pedagogy
This article outlines a new and explicitly feminist iteration of Professor Joseph Dumit’s (2014) “Implosion Project.” The “Implosion Project” is a classic pedagogical technique used widely in the field of Science and Technology Studies as an innovative way to teach students to critically engage with the complex relationships of science, technology, and society, and provides an important opportunity to center an explicitly feminist pedagogical approach when teaching students about the systems of power that shape, and are shaped by, the complex relationships between science, technology, and society. Since the “Implosion Project” does not center an explicitly feminist pedagogical approach, this …

Economic Empowerment Of Young Women In Southern Uganda: An Embedded Mixed-Methods Dissertation Study, Josephine Nabayinda
Economic Empowerment Of Young Women In Southern Uganda: An Embedded Mixed-Methods Dissertation Study, Josephine Nabayinda
Brown School Theses and Dissertations
Prioritizing economic empowerment of young women is necessary for achieving gender equality and promoting sustainable development, as it is intertwined with sociocultural, familial, legal, political, and psychological practices that foster gender equality. Empowering women economically can help them gain control over their financial future, break free from the vicious cycle of poverty and inequality, and achieve autonomy and agency over their lives. Guided by the asset theory and the theory of gender and power, this dissertation employed an embedded mixed-methods approach to examine the economic empowerment of young women in Southern Uganda focusing on three aims. Aim 1 examined the …

Eyes Open In The Dark, Brittany A. Forrest
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
An unusual dissertation that presents a science fiction autobiographical narrative, following a trial of trauma and identity dysphoria. Through a trans-queer biological female lens, the vulnerable tone of the author invites the reader into wording that describes matters they will care for on a human level. This study probes the question of what lives within the silence of our perceptions by appraising reverberations between interactions that coerce the human condition. Interrogating memory is inevitable when questioning how defense mechanisms interrelate and adapt to human needs. This study penetrates the complexities of perception fabrications, power dynamics, sensory perceptions, systemic moralities, and …
"The Whole World Opened Up, There's No Better Word For It Than Euphoria": Experience Of Embodiment In Trans*Feminine Individuals, Sara M. Stanley
"The Whole World Opened Up, There's No Better Word For It Than Euphoria": Experience Of Embodiment In Trans*Feminine Individuals, Sara M. Stanley
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The “experience of embodiment” is a construct that captures how an individual experiences the body in their socio-cultural context and has important implications for mental health and well-being. The construct was originally developed to explain the experiences of cis-gender girls and women, and has not been investigated in trans*feminine individuals. Grounded in social constructivism, and integrating the gender minority stress model and principles of intersectionality, the present study investigated trans*feminine experiences of embodiment. To expand our understanding of this construct, trans*feminine participants engaged in focus groups (n=28), a photo-elicitation task (n=25), and one-on-one semi-structured interviews (n=25). Using a combined inductive …

Finding And Filling The Inkwell: Gathering, Cultivating And Writing In An Intersectional Feminist Scholarly Community, Danika Medak-Saltzman
Gatherings
The author describes feminist writing collectivities inspired by Michelle Boyd's InkWell Academic Writing Retreats. The collectivities are an example of feminist placemaking where members relish each other’s career or personal wins, and triage writing roadblocks, all while nurturing and reinforcing individual writing endeavors and sustaining writing practices.

Points Of Necessary Return: A Feminist-Pragmatist, Place-Based Approach To Social Justice, Barbara Lowe
Points Of Necessary Return: A Feminist-Pragmatist, Place-Based Approach To Social Justice, Barbara Lowe
Gatherings
This paper promotes an inclusive, place-based approach to addressing past and present injustices and argues that the 2019 Feminist-Pragmatist Colloquium in Rochester, New York—though certainly not perfect—offers one example of such an approach. The Colloquium revisited various Rochester-area historical sites to highlight advancements in social justice while also interrogating past and ongoing harms associated with these locations. The author suggests that ameliorating past and ongoing harms requires that we revisit relevant spaces, places, and events and that we do so with a feminist-pragmatist orientation. Approaching issues in this way can lead to learning, healing, and movement towards more socially just …

Black Feminine Performance Meets Feminist Placemaking, Cassandra Scherr
Black Feminine Performance Meets Feminist Placemaking, Cassandra Scherr
Gatherings
From the clothing we adorn ourselves with to the playful role of our eyes or the careful words of accusation, we all engage in performances. In an ideal world, these performances would reflect or share our authentic selves. But in spaces burdened by social hierarchies and power dynamics for many BIPOC people, and particularly for black women, these personal performances become a necessary self-protective tool. This raises the question of how we effectively engage in feminist placemaking when we know that some people participating in these places are engaging in a self-protective performance. This essay will explore one answer to …

Where Is The Place For Muslim Feminists? Placemaking In The Ruptures Of The North American Academy, Wafaa Hasan, Besan Jaber, Nadiya N. Ali, Asmaa Malik, Farha Ternikar
Gatherings
This reflection explores both solidarities and ruptures in feminist placemaking at the National Women's Studies Association 2023 soon after October 7. As Palestine had become a source of tension and critical reflection in many feminist spaces, this collective of Muslim feminist scholars also found it to be a source of transnational and intersectional solidarity work. This piece is written by tenured and untenured Palestinian, South Asian and Black Muslim feminist scholars as a model of feminist praxis challenging individual knowledge-making and redefining collective care.

‘Your Body Is Your Story . . . & Only You Can Write It’: Feminist Placemaking At Planned Parenthood, Jill Swiencicki
Gatherings
In this reflection, Swiencicki makes the argument for the value of public art in feminist placemaking. Through an analysis of the mural on the Planned Parenthood building in Rochester, New York, she posits that art can hold a space for pregnant peoples' personhood amidst a thoroughly contested place for accessing healthcare. Working from a reproductive justice lens, she delineates how the mural's composition helps the organization hold a space for agency and care in the present moment. Swiencicki suggests that art can go even further and open the possibility of spatial repair—acknowledging the exclusions that are built into the history …
Black Queer Feminist Placemaking And The Normalization Of Difference, Jaynelle D. Nixon
Black Queer Feminist Placemaking And The Normalization Of Difference, Jaynelle D. Nixon
Gatherings
This article examines feminist placemaking through a Black feminist lens that employs queer of color critique. It argues that the most important aspect of Black feminist placemaking is an acknowledgment of nonhierarchical difference. Once difference is acknowledged as the norm within any truly feminist space, Black feminist placemaking must be active. This form of placemaking cannot be merely theoretical. Black feminist placemaking must be praxis.
Feminist Community-Building In Transient Places, Lisa J. Cunningham
Feminist Community-Building In Transient Places, Lisa J. Cunningham
Gatherings
Cunningham discusses mentoring students to co-create intersectional and action-oriented feminist communities within and beyond the college campus. Using both a regional and national conference as brief case studies, she examines attempts at silencing student voices in purportedly inclusive places and exemplifies the necessity of modeling speaking out in response to oppression. Through a politics of refusal, she argues that a central part of her role as a Gender and Sexuality Studies professor is to help students develop their ability to respond to marginalization wherever they find it, even and especially when it exists in places that claim to be feminist …

Radical Methods, Roberta Hurtado
Radical Methods, Roberta Hurtado
Gatherings
Feminist Spaces are hard to create and define. The construction of such spaces necessitates unpacking how power dynamics manifest among and between women, and the importance of deconstructing these. But such a task is fraught with difficulty. "Radical Methods" offers reflections on different ways that Feminists of Color, and especially Latina Feminisms, have attempted to work through such difficulties and my own engagements with scholars such as Gloria Anzaldúa who have offered methods for moving towards such opportunities.

Introducing Volume 1 Of Gatherings: Lessons In Feminist Placemaking In The Present Time, Jill Swiencicki
Gatherings
Placemaking has been a central feature of feminist agency and action. In Volume 1 of Gatherings, scholars identify such horizons of potential, and we see new concepts emerge in these reflections–terms like vulnerability, rupture, performance, vigilance, humility, violence, care, listening, and virtual/digital modes of presence. The contributors in this volume attend to the simultaneity of the questions that make up feminist placemaking.

Conservation Decision Making And Agricultural Land Leasing - An Experimental Investigation Of The Role Of Gender, Diya Ganguly, Simanti Banerjee, Christopher Gustafson
Cornhusker Economics
This research investigated the impact of landowner gender and of the different types of contract leases offered by them to a male tenant, on the conservation (or non-conservation) choice made by the tenant. Specifically, we investigate if a) female and male landowners offer different rental contracts and b) whether tenants choose different actions based on the landowner’s gender. For this purpose, we implemented a controlled, gender-context-loaded economic experiment with university students, in which we tested contract and land use choice under different treatments for three types of rental contracts – fixed rent, fixed rent with penalty, and fixed rent with …

In this sixth iteration of the Report Card on the Status of Women, the University of Dayton’s Women’s Center has decided to change the layout of this inaugural report. By adapting the Report Card on the Status of Women to a magazine style, we aim to increase the amount of information that is reported, facilitate readability, provide more analytical insights into our data, and hopefully reach a wider audience. Furthermore, we have added details that focus on pay grade disparities between gender and race. Nonetheless, our goal in generating the Report Card annually continues to be aimed at increasing institutional …

Understanding The Livelihood Diversification Of Arkansas Women Involved In Agricultural Production, Oluwatoyin Elizabeth Abati
Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Agriculture as a livelihood activity entails significant risks and uncertainties, which expose agricultural households to a low standard of living, poverty, and a lowering of their food security status. Women's responsibilities in agriculture are expanding and becoming more critical, and farm women are now broadening their duties to include roles off-farm. More research is needed in Arkansas about agricultural women's roles, challenges, and essential job characteristics. Using a quantitative survey, this research aimed to provide a resource on how women involved in agricultural production diversify their livelihoods. Participants were asked to describe their livelihood diversification by identifying their activities on …
