Abstract: Anna Berghuis. Face Time Series, 2020. Oil on canvas, 16″ × 20″ each.This project represents an experiment with and exploration of digital connection at a time of deepening social distancing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Subjects sat for their portraits over FaceTime video calls that took place primarily between March and May of 2020. Amplifying the series as a snapshot in time, individual paintings are named by the date of the video call and placed in chronological order. FaceTime Series reveals the contradictory emotions arising during this unusual time and grapples with the idea of the highly curated and often idealized digital ... Read More

Abstract: We want to begin this note by acknowledging that we live and work as immigrant settlers on Lenapehoking and to express our solidarity with Indigenous efforts to end oppression locally and globally. We understand that material action should always culminate in land back, and our acknowledgment therefore serves as a reminder to keep the struggle for collective liberation at the forefront of our daily lives.It is worthy of mention that we are writing this land acknowledgment and editors' note in the early days of 2024, and we wish to emphasize that it has now been several months since the contributions in this issue were completed. This lapse in time feels significant. At present, we find ourselves navigating ... Read More

Abstract: Editors of Pandemonium spoke with Andrea Pető on June 12, 2023.What is unique in the Hungarian situation is that, in 2017, when the attack started on gender studies, it was not clear how this would end. But there's a fantastic Russian saying: when you think you are at the bottom, somebody's already knocking from below.Things can always get worse.What is unique in the Hungarian context is that our two-year MA program had just been accredited by the Central European University in 2004—and that was the first acknowledgment, really, of gender studies as a real discipline. For over ten years it was taught in English at a private American university where the students were getting fellowships. The next real game changer ... Read More

I took part in this conference as an organizer, not a speaker. Gender was not the principal focus, and I did not expect to be the center of the attention at that conference. This was, in fact, before Bolsonaro was elected as president of ... Read More

Abstract: Editors of Pandemonium spoke with James N. Green on June 20, 2023.Brazil was under a dictatorship from 1964 until 1985. It had been in the process of a sort of slow-motion return to democracy, which started in 1974 when new social movements joining with the more traditional left emerged to fight against the dictatorship.I was one of the founders of the LGBT movement, which was at the time called the "homosexual movement." It was started mostly by men. Then women joined, and they developed their own autonomy, and formed their own separatist lesbian groups and feminist women's groups. I became a feminist in 1969, and I came out as gay in 1973 and was very much involved in the anti-war movement and in the New Left in ... Read More

We have a lot of people who work in gender and women's studies in the university. So we have a good deal of support and faculty resources. And, most importantly, we have the Instituto de Estudos de Gênero (Gender Studies Institute)1 and there is also Laboratório de Estudos de Gênero e História (Laboratory of Gender and History Studies).2 Those are interdisciplinary centers, but they do not function like a department.

My role as president is to use our big, really huge, platform to speak up in this moment and be active. We're facing multiple battles at this point. It's not just women's and gender studies that is under attack, it's also African American history and LGBTQIA+ studies.

We're not, you know, one of those programs that just got off the ground and now we're suddenly recruiting and "grooming" and doing all the things that they seem to think we're doing.

This came about probably because of a study—an annual survey has been going on for three or four years, the product of a collaboration with a local NGO called Kaos GL (short for Kaos Gay and Lesbian Cultural Research and Solidarity), which supports and promotes human rights for LGBTQAI+ people in Turkey. My university has collaborated annually with this NGO to provide research support for their study of discrimination against ... Read More

The African Feminist Initiative (AFI) is a transnational virtual community that my colleague Gabeba Baderoon and I started at Penn State in 2015. Gabeba and I came together to create a space to think critically about African feminisms, a truly global transnational collective that is actively engaged in all levels of feminist activism, dialogue, and research both within and outside the ...

I recently cofounded an organization called Feminist Participatory Action Research Academy (FPAR Academy), which is an online learning platform for feminist education and activism. For us, FPAR is a political choice. It is a collective, bottom-up, intersectional feminist methodology. We support and empower marginalized groups to advocate for changes in their communities. FPAR challenges patriarchy, racism, heteronormativity, fascism, and other forms of social injustices. ... Read More

Abstract: As feminists across the Global South confront the colliding crises of climate breakdown, rising authoritarianism, and deepening global inequalities, the need to reinvigorate and strengthen solidarity and cooperation between feminist movements throughout the South has become an urgent necessity. While momentum exists in various progressive social justice movements, feminist movements often find their concerns and agendas neglected in mainstream South-South cooperation initiatives and global justice platforms. This is apparent in intergovernmental initiatives between Global South nations, ranging from the 1955 Bandung Declaration to modern undertakings like BRICS (formed in 2009). For instance, despite vigorous ... Read More

Abstract: The rise of far-right anti-feminist, anti-queer and anti-trans, white supremacist discourses, movements, and politics is challenging equality and democracy at a global level. These actors threaten inclusionary dimensions of democracy while explicitly targeting marginalized collectives and positions within and beyond academia. A growing scholarship is working not only to study this phenomenon but also to generate knowledge and theorize responses to these attacks against democratic values of equality, inclusion, and participation.In the European context, democratic backsliding and the backlash against gender equality and minority rights has progressively become one of the central concerns of social sciences ...

Abstract: On May 15, 2023, during a sensational press event staged with Chris Rufo at the recently restructured New College of Florida in Sarasota, Governor Ron DeSantis signed three bills that attack academic freedom. The first bill prohibits intellectual pursuits related to "theories that systemic racism, sexism, oppression, and privilege are inherent in the institutions of the United States." DeSantis and his allies in the legislature deployed this language, with its incendiary effect on their supporters, as both justification and cover for additional assaults on learning, teaching, and research. The legislative package expands the hiring and firing powers of university boards and presidents, limits protections for ... Read More

Abstract: In recent years, attacks on gender studies in Europe have been part of a broader trend of targeting gender politics as "symptoms" of the diffusion of the so-called gender ideology (Datta and Paternotte 2023; Graff and Korolczuk 2022; Kuhar and Paternotte 2017). Within academia, this criticism also extended to alleged radicalized and politicized scholars (Paternotte and Verloo 2021). In addition to the increase in attacks on gender studies, the populist and radical right wing sought to repress academic freedom, as in the Hungarian case (Lombardo, Kantola, and Rubio-Marin 2021; Grzebalska and Pető 2018; Pető 2020). Furthermore, the rise of a neoliberal agenda within academia and scientific research has significantly ... Read More

Abstract: One day in the spring of 2017, I was scrolling down my Facebook feed, and I noticed an event on the "anti-gender campaigns" organized in Brussels. It was an event devoted to a collective book edited by Roman Kuhar and David Paternotte (Kuhar and Paternotte 2017). Although I knew the works of both editors, I did not pay significant attention to the event. The wording of the book title, Anti-gender Campaigns in Europe, did not speak much to me, and neither did I read the description of the event in detail. Back then, I somehow disregarded the above-mentioned book event and continued working on the topics I was interested in.In late December 2017, six months later, I noticed something very disturbing on my Facebook ...

Abstract: This essay explores the tension between two key claims: (1) that U.S. academic interdisciplinary programs, especially those focused around intersectionality, anti-racism, social and environmental justice, and climate change (e.g., WGSS, ethnic studies, environmental studies), are particularly vulnerable in the current political and media climate dominated by a "post-truth" ethos that is generating pandemonium within and outside the university; and (2) that such programs, as interdisciplines, have greater resilience to withstand this threat the more they embrace their inherent heterotopic—critical, contingent—potentialities. Heterotopias offer spaces for rethinking, rehearsing, and even suspending or reversing ... Read More

Abstract: No one wants to be "rightsized," particularly not feminists, and especially not feminists in gender, women's, and sexuality studies (GWSS) programs and departments. We have been railing against the notion that there is a "right size" for at least half a century, long before the term entered the parlance of university bureaucrats as a useful gloss for austerity processes. Yet that's one of the multiple threats we are now facing, and, at least in the United States, the threat is both internal and external. The perception is that GWSS programs and departments have gotten too big for our britches, are taking up too much space and sucking up too many resources, and need to be cut down to size.Neoliberal university ...

Abstract: The gender studies program at Middlebury came under attack from pundits who characterized its courses as being "categorically insane" after the disruption of a March 2017 talk by Charles Murray, a writer best known for his controversial work linking intelligence and race. Though the talk wasn't about gender studies, Moss said supporters of Murray looked to the gender studies department "to discredit Middlebury and particularly to discredit the side that was against Murray."A pervasive trope in centrist U.S. media and cultural analysis today holds that the nation is "polarized": ideologically divided and incapable of productive exchange across that divide, let alone of civility.

Abstract: The portrayal of Kurdish women as powerless victims has long been prevalent in the cultural and official nationalist narratives in Turkey. The Turkish state has strategically capitalized on these representations to stigmatize the Kurdish culture as backward and oppressive and to characterize Kurdish men as brutal, tyrannical, and prone to violence while advancing nationalist agendas and justifying ongoing military interventions in Kurdish populated regions. It is worth noting that even scholarly works, despite their intent to provide intersectional analysis of Kurdish women's experiences addressing both gender and ethnic identities, have sometimes inadvertently perpetuated this image of Kurdish women primarily as ...

Abstract: Although there are some scholarly works in English on Korean women and feminism, little has been published about the extraordinary developments of recent years. Journalist Hawon Jung has written in a clear and compassionate tone about what she has personally witnessed on the ground. Jung has done this not only to introduce Korean feminist movements to English audiences but also to advocate for Korean women in the hope that the Korean feminist movement will continue to move forward in the face of the current backlash.The book starts with the Korean #MeToo movement in 2018, followed by a very brief historiography of Korean women's movements and a new wave of Korean feminist movements. Jung posits that misogynistic ... Read More

Abstract: Fix the System, Not the Women is a rallying cry to reject, without reserve, the ideological linchpin of patriarchy that it is not the misogyny baked into our core institutions that is responsible for gender inequality, but rather women themselves. Whether it is a woman's choice to wear a short dress and get drunk on a Friday night, or her failure to stand up for herself and "just demand" that pay raise, there is always some reason to blame women for the harm that comes their way. Laura Bates's book thoroughly unmasks this discourse to reveal its sinister function: by blaming the women, the system gets let off the hook.Despite a long history of feminist critique of structural misogyny, Bates is unfortunately not ...

By that, he means that there is a particular politics that makes one radical that usually has little to do with the skin in which a person is born. Race, of course, matters. We know this because nations have been disseminated in the name of racism, and racial capital hierarchies run the world and have material consequences we observe. But, more importantly, to undo racial capitalism, Bey calls us, as do Liza Taylor, Cara Page, and Erica Woodland, the authors of the texts under review, to understand how racial identity is an approximation to politics that must always be mitigated by a radical consciousness of lineage, history, and collectivity. To be ... Read More

Abstract: You cannot read the book that I'm reviewing.Routledge published Sexual Misconduct in Academia: Informing an Ethics of Care in the University in March 2023. It then pulled the book in early September in response to an alleged defamation suit threat, leaving little trace of the volume's existence aside from a few broken links lingering on the interwebs.This book's story compels me to depart from the standard book review formula. My review is part summary, seeking to answer the pressing question that arises: What voices, and what message, has Routledge censored' My review is also part consciousness-raising, seeking to counter the threatening twin narratives of reasonableness and mundanity poised to justify Routledge's ...

Abstract: Both the books under review here (Global Feminist Autoethnographies during COVID-19 and Strange and Difficult Times) are important contributions to the study of the pandemic and its impact on our diverse and intersecting worlds. These two books engage, in multiple intersecting yet distinct ways, the concern raised by Boisseau and Ernstberger in their call for papers for this special issue of Women's Studies Quarterly on "Pandemonium." They state that this issue "creates space for feminist studies practitioners to consider the tumultuous circumstances we find ourselves in, to document and reflect on recent experiences, and to draw conclusions about the current state—and possible future—of our field." This appeal is ... Read More

Abstract: The Gendered Face of COVID-19 in the Global South: The Development, Gender and Health Nexus opens with a quote by Isabel Allende: "Women are disempowered constantly, and if there is a crisis of any kind—occupation, war, pandemic—the first people who suffer are women." This quote captures the heavy weight of the research undertaken by Jean Grugel, Matt Barlow, Tallulah Lines, Maria Eugenia Giraudo, and Jessica Omukuti to provide a real-time analysis of the COVID-19 pandemic response. The scholars argue that not only was this pandemic a fast-moving public health crisis, but it was also compounded by a devastating human development crisis that threatened to undermine progress made under the United Nation Sustainable ...

Abstract: In the landscape of decolonial and critical theory literature, Rising Up, Living On: Re-existences, Sowing, and Decolonial Cracks emerges as a profoundly introspective and transformative exploration of what it means to crack open the suffocating layers of coloniality. At its heart, it is an introspective investigation into the concept of "crack-labor" and the endeavor of challenging the persisting structures of coloniality. Offering a multifaceted approach to the intricate workings of colonial matrices of power, Catherine E. Walsh has presented readers with a profound commentary on agency, resistance, and resurgence.The book's central theme revolves around this idea of "cracking" coloniality—creating fissures in ...

Abstract: Philosophy books—even feminist ones—do not usually include calls to action. Perhaps they know their audience (sedentary introverts). Or perhaps they fail to see what Public Feminisms: From Academy to Community takes as its guiding principle: that academics should "reach out beyond their classrooms, labs, and libraries to engage a broader public in collaborative and mutually beneficial relationships that can lead to new knowledge and much-needed solutions to the most pressing problems of our day" (Baker and Dove-Viebahn, "Conclusion," 455).This rallying cry caps the collection's twenty-two essays about feminist praxis by scholars in anthropology, film and media studies, law, English, women and gender studies, and ...

Abstract: Sim Gill, isolation, 2021. Photograph.This photograph captures Kensington Park Gardens, London, during the third national lockdown in the United Kingdom. On March 23, 2020, the U.K.'s prime minister issued a stark directive: "You must stay at home." Within a mere twenty-four hours, our daily routines and rituals were cast into uncertainty, our usual distractions temporarily vanished, leaving us with existential queries about what lay ahead, the duration of this new reality, and when normalcy might return. For numerous individuals, this marked their first encounter with a paradigm-shifting global event, encompassing remote work and social distancing, as well as upending familiar habitual practices. On reflection, it ... Read More

Abstract: One of my father's most prized possessions is a vest that my mother made him. It uses scraps of ribbon with bits of velvet and satin sewn together in the tradition of a "crazy quilt." Crazy quilts, an innovation of women's ingenuity and artistry, use the beautiful, odd remainders of other projects to create something valuable and unique.When I look back on the last three years, my brain swirls trying to get a handle on what it has meant to try and "do the work" in pandemonious circumstances. In some ways, I've felt like a pinball, bouncing from one opportunity to another. But really, I'm not sure I like the metaphor of the pinball. Yes, I've felt thrown from one project to another, but not in a way that leaves me ... Read More

Abstract: A student of indeterminate age enters a university classroom in a state of indeterminate confusion. The room is simultaneously empty and full. The setting is a blend of both stage and rage. Degree being both a goal and a descriptive term. Somewhere in the distance, a rooster crows. Whether the time is closer to dusk or dawn remains unknown. Rosters are stalled indefinitely. Faux-wooden chairs with metal legs stand still. Cool landings boil. Heat rises. Four rows of desks remain unoccupied. An unopened, fully deflated bag of ruffled potato chips (once Wise, now stale) rests on the front desk. The air unusually conspired. The clock on the wall ticks, then tocks. Shadows of students from semesters past track. Lines ... Read More

Abstract: The original intent for this provocation was to distill the forces of capitalism's interconnected pandemonia into a descriptive analysis of its fundamental crisis. That is, that our social institutions never intended to reckon with the profound cost of care, and we find ourselves with few mechanisms left to outsource social reproduction. The argument, as I imagined it, would be controlled and precise.After I accepted the editors' invitation to join this special issue, it became clear that I did not account for the cost of my own care. My own body and mind exist in the thing I work to analyze. I forget. Or, I would rather not know sometimes. Unfortunately, the body not only keeps the score; it also controls the ... Read More
