El Corrido De La Redada De Los “41 Maricones”: Decolonizing El Porfiriato And Its Queer Signifier, Lucas Espinoza, Rosalva Resendiz, Luis E. Espinoza
Criminal Justice Faculty Publications
The purpose of this article is to critically examine the story of the number 41 as a queer signifier in Mexican culture from a decolonial perspective, taking into account archival records in the development of hegemonic masculinity in the 20th century. An examination of hegemonic masculinity and homophobia of early 20th century Mexico is provided by reviewing colonial accounts of indigenous sexuality, as well as uncovering the hidden stories of the corrido/ballad of El Baile de los 41 Maricones. The corrido was used as satire to ridicule the homosexual practices by the bourgeoisie, creating a rift between social classes, and …

Methods Inclusion criteria were assigned female sex at birth, TGM or non-binary identity, age ≥18 years, interested in injectable testosterone but willing to wait 7 days after enrollment before starting, and engaged with a testosterone-prescribing provider. Exclusion criteria were recent antibiotic use, HIV/STI infection, current vaginal infection, pregnancy, or past 6 …

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
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
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
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
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
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.

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 …
