Bodies that still matter
This volume collects essays of contributors who apply ideas of American philosopher Judith Butler in their research. It consists of four key themes in Butler’s scholarship: performativity (bodies that are performatively gendered), speech (bodies addressed and/or injured by language), precarity (bodies vulnerable to different degrees) and assembly (bodies that assemble and demonstrate). The volume also includes a new essay by Butler herself. Butler's work addresses topics such as gender normativity, the democratic power of assembling bodies and the force of nonviolence.- Creator

Living concepts
This 40th yearbook volume discusses how both experienced and young academics operationalize concepts in gender research practices and what it means for them to 'do' gender history in 2021. With contributions of among others Geertje Mak, Halleh Ghorashi, Francisca de Haan, Berteke Waaldijk, Garjan Sterk, Saskia Bonjour and Annemarie Mol, the book shows how certain concepts such as body, intimacy, migration, intersectionality and masculinity travel within academic culture across the Low countries and find a home in individual research practices.- Creator

The politics of women's suffrage
This book examines the history of the women's suffrage movement in the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth, from 1832 onwards. In particular, this collection pays attention to the issues of class and Empire which shaped this era. It demonstrates how campaigns for women’s rights were consciously and unconsciously played out, impacting attitudes to motherhood, motivating the radical “birth-strike” movement and flourishing communist sympathies in working-class communities around Britain and beyond.- Creator

Femininity’ and the history of women's education
This book draws on recent deconstructions around the idea of ‘femininity’ as a social, racial and class construct and explores the diversity of spaces that may be defined as educational that range from institutional contexts to family, to professional outlooks, to racial identity, to defining community and religious groupings. It explores how notions of femininity change across time and place, and within individual lives.- Creator

Transforming bodies and religions
This book sheds an interdisciplinary light on ‘transforming bodies’: bodies that have been subjected to, contributed to, or have resisted social transformations within religious or secular contexts in contemporary Europe. It explores the intersections of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality and religion that underpin embodied transformations. The authors look at body politics in governmental and NGO organisations; the role of the body in literary and/or autobiographical narratives; and ethnographic case studies of bodies in daily life.- Creator

Intersectional feminism in the age of transnationalism
This book explores the limitations of the transnationalist approach to feminism and questions the neoliberal emphasis on individual freedom and consumer choice as the central goals of feminist activism. The contributions analyze works of fiction, philosophy, visual art, films, TV and Latin America through the lens of transnationalism. They consider intersectionality as a valuable category of critical analysis at a time in which the effects of neoliberal globalization undermine familiar categories of critical inquiry.

Biopolitics, necropolitics, cosmopolitics
The concepts of biopolitics and necropolitics have gained scholarly attention, particularly in light of today’s issues that mark some lives, including the migration crisis, rise of populism and state-sanctioned targeting of gender, sexual, racial and ethnic ‘others’. This book nuances this conversation by emphasizing feminist and queer investments and interventions and by adding the analytical lens of cosmopolitics to ongoing debates around life/living and death/dying in the current political climate.- Creator

Institutional sexual abuse in the #MeToo era
The chapters of this volume show #MeToo is not only a support network of victims’ voices and testimonies but also an interrogation of policies, power imbalances and ethical failures, resulting in cover-ups and institutions structured to ensure continued abuse for decades. Contributors discuss how #MeToo has altered the landscape of higher education; detail a political history of sexual abuse in the United States and the UK; discuss a recent grand jury report about religious institutions; and address the foster care and correctional systems. They look at complex and different institutions such as sports, academia, religion, politics, justice, childcare, social media and entertainment.- Creator
