Belonging, Bridges, And Bodies, Sheena Malhotra, Kimberlee Pérez

Graduate Student Scholarly and Creative Submissions

Feminists' negotiations of academic spaces are often facilitated by allies who act as bridges for us. We interviewed three pairs of women who are friends, colleagues, or partners and analyzed their stories for notions of how they were enacting bridgework for each other within the context of fluid identities, and shifting power relationships. We find that bridgework happens primarily along three axes in these relationships: bridging to community, bridging to power, and bridging to consciousness. This paper unpacks the differentials of bridgework done by differently racialized bodies as a means to understanding the conditions for belonging those bodies evoke. We …

Don't Listen To Hartwell, Charlie Brickham

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

In Mike Hartwell's article, "A sex change won't do you good," [The Maine Campus, April 7] Hartwell attempts to establish some unjustified claims. Sexual Reassignment Surgery isn't intended to "alter one's mindset," but to align the appropriate body type with the existing mind.

I have recently become aware of an article published in the April 7th issue of The Maine Campus. In it, the author, Mike Hartwell, makes several incorrect assumptions.

A Sex Change Won't Do You Good: Gender Reassignment Surgery Fails To Alter One's Mindset, Mike Hartwell

Social Justice: Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion

For those of you out of the loop, last month a University of Maine student accepted a Disney scholarship but ran into housing problems when "she" informed them that she was undergoing a sex-change operation. Disney said the student, known as Claire, couldn't room with a male or female in its housing facilities, but gave her the option to pay more money and to live alone. However, she couldn't afford this. In January, a local benefit concert raised over $1,200 for Claire's room and board.
