A room, a chair, and a desk
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.- Creator

New Writings in Feminist and Women’s Studies Winning and Short-listed Entries from the 2016 Feminist and Women’s Studies Association’s Annual Student Essay Competition [Special]
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.- Creator

Facing the Medusa
In the last decades, in spite of the risks, certain groups of women have been facing the Medusa as they confront the ongoing impossibility of women's studies. Private and public debates both within and around the domain of women's studies and feminist camps, in particular, those emerging from women of color movements such as mestiza, mujerista, womanist and U.S. Third World feminisms, have questioned the viability of a movement that could embrace all women.- Creator

Rethinking the women's studies Ph.D. in Canadian universities
This paper considers the future of the Ph.D. in women's studies in Canada. It argues that it is important to continue to develop and to offer the existing doctorate in women's studies in Canada because it contributes in significant ways to the scholarly environment for students and faculty in universities. However, it cautions against developing and offering additional Ph.D. programmes in women's studies without simultaneously considering and challenging the current, lean fiscal climate, for post-secondary education and the implications of this context for women's studies. After briefly mapping out this climate, this paper offers, for the explicit purpose of further discussion and debate, some recommendations to advance women's studies as a vibrant, scholarly discipline. It makes specific recommendations to strengthen the institutional bases of women’s studies. These include bolstering institutional structures and a sustained commitment to strengthen women's studies from outside the walls of any single institution.- Creator

Hitting and missing the mark
This essay looks specifically at reflection in these areas undertaken in one sector of women's studies: the master's degree in women's studies in the United States. That graduate education in women's studies is the focal point of this essay is especially timely because graduate programs in women's studies are experiencing substantial growth. This essay addresses one aspect of graduate education: the correspondence between feminist intellectual inquiry and pedagogy in master's programs in women's studies. In particular, the essay aims to assess women's studies at the graduate level by asking graduate students what they think about the attention paid by their programs to the issues fore grounded in feminist inquiry. Questions about the diverse groups that make up women, the classroom climate, and ways in which feminist inquiry can balance theory and activism are engaged in this essay from the perspective of graduate students. Furthermore, this essay analyzes the students' satisfaction with the attention paid by their graduate programs to these major components of feminist inquiry.- Creator
