Performance, feminism and affect in neoliberal times
This book is a study of global feminist activism that opposes neoliberal regimes across several sites including Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the United States. The feminist performative acts featured in the book contest the aggressive unravelling of collectively won gains in gender, sexual and racial equality, the appearance of new planes of discrimination, and the social consequences of political economies based on free market ideology. The investigations of affect theory follow the circulation of intensities – of political impingements on bodies, subjective and symbolic violence, and the shock of dispossession – within and beyond individuals to the social and political sphere.- Creator

On ne naît pas femme: on le devient
This collection of essays takes up the most famous feminist sentence ever written, Simone de Beauvoir's 'On ne naît pas femme: on le devient,', in the book The Second Sex, finding in it a flashpoint that galvanizes feminist thinking and action in multiple dimensions. Two controversies emerge in the life of this sentence: a controversy over the practice of translation and a controversy over the nature and status of sexual difference.- Creator

Gender, governance and feminist analysis
This volume analyses governance practices in diverse jurisdictions in Europe and North America, at multiple scales, and in relation to several different arenas of policy and practice. The contributors address shortcomings in the mainstream literature on governance within the discipline of political science. Individual chapters consider whether and how gender, racialized identity, and/or other axes of marginalization are visible within the conceptualizations and practices of governance under discussion- Creator

Being an early career feminist academic
This book discusses both the challenges and opportunities of feminists entering the academy as an early career researcher or teacher. Young academics frequently work on fixed term contracts, with little security and no certain prospect of advancement. Being a feminist academic adds a further layer of complexity: the ethos of the marketising university viewing students as 'customers' versus a politics of equality for all.- Creator

Women’s activism and 'second wave' feminism
This book situates late 20th century feminisms within a global framework of women's activism.

Gender and citizenship in historical and transnational perspective
This book offers a transnational understanding of citizenship since the late eighteenth century. Framed around three themes :agency, space and borders , the authors demonstrate what historians can bring to the study of citizenship and its relationship with the theory and practice of democracy. The essays examine the past interactions of women and men with public authorities, their participation in civic life within various kinds of polities and the meanings they attached to their actions.- Creator

Re-reading Spare Rib
Spare Rib remains one of the most iconic symbols of Second Wave Feminism, its influence far out-living the span of its publication (1972-1993). This collection examines various aspects of the magazine in order to explore the ways in which it has influenced society in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, as well as the lives of individual readers. By analysing articles from a post-feminist perspective and using cross-generational interviews of Spare Rib readers the significance and endurance of the publication is demonstrated.- Creator

Challenging the myth of gender equality in Sweden
Sweden has the reputation of being one of the most gender-equal countries in the world, and it is often held up as a model for other societies—but the reality is much more complicated, as this volume shows. This book provides an analysis of the myth of Swedish gender equality and demonstrates how that dominant idea has become a form of heteronormative, racially specific nationalism that ultimately excludes those who fall outside the social norm.- Creator

Queer feminist science studies
This collection of essays develops, reconsiders and amplies queer feminist approaches to reading science. Queer feminist science studies are used to name, nurture and transform conversations already taking place across sciences, humanities and social sciences. For this reader essays were selected that offer two different types of resources: those that help to think about science beyond STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering en Mathematics) and traditional STS (Science and Technology Studies) and those that highlight the import of theorizing science to queer feminisms. Discussed are the materiality of 'natural objects' and phenomena as well as questions such as the meaning of sex and the co-constitution of race, gender and sexuality.- Creator
