- Description
- In sub-Saharan Africa, the discipline of women’s and gender studies has made dramatic inroads into the academy through the development of degree-granting undergraduate and graduate programs, the creation of research centers and institutes, and the growth of African feminist theory. Using Uganda as a case study, we can look to the oldest program of its kind in Africa to trace the birth of the discipline on the continent. The history of women’s and gender studies in Uganda speaks to ways in which the discipline in the Global South has, since its inception, been entrenched in transnational feminism and an intersectional curriculum rooted in indigenous feminisms.

- Description
- In her paper Jane Cattien takes postmodern and intersectional critiques of feminist standpoint theory as a critical point of departure to re-examine the debate around the relevance of the signifier “women” in feminist epistemology. Her aim is twofold: first, she seeks to shed new light on these criticisms by using the lived experiences of mixedrace women as an innovative lens through which to examine the issue of fragmentation in feminist epistemology. Eleanor Dobson examines the relationship between mummy fiction and the fairy-tale genre in the closing years of the nineteenth century and the early years of the twentieth. Isabella Luta investigates the significance behind this change and explore how myth influenced medicine to tackle the question of why ‘Nymphomania’ became the preferred term for excessive female sexuality in the 19th century. A substantial amount of literature dealing with conceptualisations of the nation has neglected the importance that gender and the politics of reproduction play in the construction of national identities. Analysing images of political campaigns and activists as well as public discourses on motherhood, abortion and childcare, Yvonne Frankfurth will illustrate the importance that gender and sexuality assumed in German nation-building projects before and after its unification in 1990. In her paper Kelly Yin Nga Tse critically examines post/feminist imperatives in relation to neoliberal ethos and class dynamics in The People’s Republic of Desire by transnational Chinese women writer, Annie Wang. While what comprises “feminist research methods” is subject to debate, research with a feminist orientation is often characterised by heightened reflexivity and a recognition of the subjective nature of knowledge claims. By drawing upon ethnographic research conducted among young people in post-apartheid South Africa, Fawzia Haeri Mazanderani interrogates the potential value of audio recordings or “voice notes” during fieldwork, in conjunction with the more traditional form of the fieldwork diary.
