Check out the 50th Anniversary Issue of Feminist Studies, co-edited by our very own Professor Matt Richardson 🤩 “This is the fiftieth anniversary issue of Feminist Studies. We celebrate a half century of groundbreaking scholarship and research, creative expression, and political commentary. Since 1972, our founding year, women around the globe have gained considerably greater access to higher education, professional occupations, and political participation. But apparent advances for women have occurred in contradictory contexts to which we can too often be inattentive. In 1972, too many people in the United States had only begun to recognize its deeply entrenched heritage of racism, and the country was embroiled in a cruel and misguided imperialist war in Vietnam. Average wages were at an inflation-adjusted peak then, but increased inequality means that they have eroded since. And many technologies devised in past decades have contributed to a series of climate emergencies harming our planet. In other words, in celebrating the journal’s past, we also look somewhat soberly toward the future in this issue.   As we write in 2022, Iranian women and men are heroically protesting a repressive theocratic state’s effort to strip them of their rights to education, work, and bodily autonomy. The Kurdish revolutionary slogan “Woman, life, freedom!”—is also an aspiration for others around the globe. For us in the United States, the terms “woman,” “life,” and “freedom” reverberate with questions. We now understand “women” as a vital but ambiguous category variously dissected by old debates about culture versus biology and more recently divided by changes in our categories and systems of gender and sexuality. What “life” means is very differently interpreted by “pro-life” crusaders, advocates for women’s reproductive choices, and again by those who decry humanity’s arrogance in usurping the claims and opportunities of non-human entities….. @brothaqueer 03/28/2023

TOMORROW! Please join us for a talk by UC President's Postdoctoral Fellow, Dr. Yessica Garcia Hernandez on Friday, March 10 at 12pm, followed by a reception lunch at 1pm in McCune Conference Room, 6020 HSSB! The talk is titled, "Border Trash: Marking Latinas as Foreign Bodies" and is part of the Latinx Gender and Sexual Politics Lecture Series hosted by the Department of Feminist Studies. You may find the abstract below and the flyers attached. Please note: the Department of Feminist Studies realizes that many graduate recruitments are happening at the same time, and we welcome visiting candidates and guests to join us as well as students. Please share this announcement. Abstract What does border po*******hy say about borders, Latinas, and its political and historical pasts? What can we say about the different deployments of border geographies in these films? And How do brown spectators along with the actresses make sense of these border narratives? This talk studies the subgenre of border po*******hy and examines how Latina hypersexuality is represented. Using a performative discursive analysis, Dr. Garcia Hernandez shows that the use of the word “Border” in po*******hy shifted throughout three decades. In the early 1970s border titles often centered white women’s sexual adventures to Mexico, but after 9/11, the border became synonymous with a racial-sexual difference of the Latina body and their brown carnality. Dr. Garcia Hernandez argues that Latina adult stars find moments of possibilities despite the subjugation and racial mockery that they are expected to perform. A close study of border po*******hy shows how despite the deployment of racial differences vis-à-vis geographies of the border, Latina actresses find ways to escape or play with their roles. Bio Yessica Garcia Hernandez is a UC President’s Postdoctoral Fellow and filmmaker in the department of Media and Cultural Studies at the University of California, Riverside. Her research examines the topics of Latinx sexualities, Class Epistemologies, Paisa Subculture, Po*******hy and Women of Color Feminisms. 03/13/2023

This Friday @5pm! @dr_chairbreaker is hosting this event for UCSB grad students @ucsb_graduate_division @ucsbgsa What are the benefits of academic study to a creative practice? How do we incorporate creative writing into an academic context? In Caleb Luna’s poetry book Revenge Body (2022), theories of race, fatness and disability are woven into reflections of personal experience with poetry. In this seminar, we will reflect on translating study and scholarship, how academic and public writing can inform one another, the differences in academic versus public publishing and how to navigate academic and creative writing practices and career goals. 03/06/2023
