Abstract:This article critiques current citational norms and advances feminist citational praxis. Through the process of writing a dissertation collaboratively, we developed our feminist citational praxis. We share the development of our praxis and highlight three problems of practice we have discovered. We reject normative citational rituals and encourage authors to center scholars and scholarship that are often silenced through academic citational exclusion. Intentionally citing Authors of Color, women, trans-gender, and nonbinary scholars as well as disabled authors/authors with disabilities is feminist citational praxis. We ground our feminist citational praxis within the feminist killjoy paradigm and encourage readers to develop their own feminist citational praxis.

Abstract:This article theorizes the lesbian feminist killjoy’s negativity in order to elucidate the temporal, affective, and redemptive politics found within feminist and queer collective memory by bringing Conditions: Five and Beverly Smith’s “The Wedding” into conversation with Lisa Duggan and Nan Hunter’s Sex Wars. I show how progress narratives presume the unattractiveness of lesbian feminism while investing queerness with the capacity to overcome lesbian feminism’s racial and class exclusions. To counter the way progress narratives’ division between good and bad subjects endows contemporary scholarship with a fantasy of innocence, I consider how the lesbian feminist killjoy might be attractive enough to provoke alternative desires.

Abstract:We explore the meaning, significance, and specific practices of feminist pedagogy of the Alquimia Feminist Leadership Schools. In this paper we show how these schools, convened by Just Associates (JASS) in Mesoamerica and nurtured from the experience of JASS globally, contribute to strengthening movements and movement leaders (largely Indigenous and rural land defenders). We examine how Alquimia creates safe spaces and uses feminist popular education to challenge and transform aspects of power that marginalize, demean, and threaten women and their communities, while catalyzing imagination and action for long-term social justice and change agendas.
