Abstract:Before becoming Women’s Studies Quarterly in 1981, the Women’s Studies Newsletter (WSN) chronicled the institutionalization of women’s and gender studies (WGS) through the 1970s. It maps the field’s early years and the range of creative, practical strategies educators, administrators, and students used to find space for a feminist education within a hostile institution. In this article, I explore the value of a publication like WSN and argue for its reincarnation in a twenty-first-century form by drawing on my experience as a WGS faculty member. Such a resource could offer practical tools for the quotidian, material field-building practices necessary to sustain and expand WGS, as well as for resisting the neoliberal status quo in higher education.

Abstract:In this article, we engage in a discursive analysis and affective reading of written and recorded responses to the suicide of Sarah Hegazi, an Egyptian queer feminist communist who took her own life in exile in Canada in the summer of 2020. In the aftermath of Hegazi’s suicide, queer Arabs across the Middle East and North Africa, as well their diaspora, publicly mourned her death in an unprecedented way through an abundance of social media posts, blogs, articles, Twitter and Instagram hashtags, and vigils. Some mourned her as a friend and comrade, but most did not know Hegazi personally. In what follows, we explore what it was about Hegazi’s life and death that inspired such a response from queer Arabs and what this collective mourning was productive of.

Copacabana treats Valerie Solanas' 1967 SCUM Manifesto as "occupying a position that is both fascinating and disturbing--like so many manifestos of the male avant-garde tradition that came before it." Solanas wrote the SCUM Manifesto as a parody that, using the vernacular of her epoch, mocks popular, sexist, and heterocentric thinking about gender and sexuality of the time, upon reading it "everyone freaked out, because when we talk about men the same way men have talked about women for centuries, it reads as grotesque and insanely violent, un-compassionate, and shocking"--which was exactly the point of Solanas' intervention.

Abstract:I argue that several Black feminists theorize fatness as a marginalized form of embodiment that should be reclaimed as a source of pleasure and abundance. Tracing the history of anti-fat bias back to its roots as a vehicle of racialized bodily control, we learn that the fat Black body has always served as a threat to white colonial power. Turning to Black feminist texts, from the writing of Audre Lorde and bell hooks to Zadie Smith's 2005 novel On Beauty, offers alternatives to this account of fatness, finding instead beauty, self-love, and political solidarity in fat Black women's bodies.
