Á Acknowledgements As the editors of Girlhood and the Politics of Place , we have many people to thank, starting with the contributors themselves. Their keen interest in researching and writing about girlhood, and their commitment to prompt submission and revision of their respective chapters contrib- uted to a smooth process. Reviewing is a critical part of publishing, and we therefore also thank the reviewers for their time and energy in en- gaging with the work of the authors and for off ering such constructive comments so generously. There are a number of people who deserve special mention. Caili Woodyard, Wilson Blakley, and Samantha Thrift of the Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies at McGill University did in- credible amounts of behind-the-scenes support work and organizing to staff the symposia and workshop on “Girlhood Studies and the Pol- itics of Place,” out of which many of the contributions were produced. Four key people provided editorial assistance and project oversight as we produced the book: Haidee Lefebvre, Lukas Labacher and Michelle Harazny of the Participatory Cultures Lab in the Faculty of Education, along with Emily Raine. Then Ann Smith brought it all together, and the book has been greatly enhanced by her contribution. Finally, we are grateful to the Social Sciences and Humanities Re- search Council of Canada for their fi nancial support of the editing and production of this book through the Connections Program, Media@ McGill, and the Dean of Arts Development Fund at McGill University, and for funds available to both the James McGill Professor in Integrated Studies in Education, and the William Dawson Scholar of Feminist Media Studies. We would also like to thank our publisher, Berghahn Books, for being willing to take on this book project in the fi rst place. Claudia Mitchell and Carrie Rentschler Á INTRODUCTION The Signifi cance of Place in Girlhood Studies Carrie Rentschler and Claudia Mitchell What’s Place Got to Do with It? From the bouncy pop songs of Taylor Swift to recent activist videos that make visible sexual and racial harassment against girls, and social media networks that reveal girl activists in action, girls loudly proclaim their needs and rights to places for and as girls. Place is a stage and practice of power; it is also the site of great pleasures and possibilities for girls. As Timothy Cresswell argues, we do not just experience some- thing, we experience things “in place” (2014: 38). Experience, then, is also at the heart of what place means and does; it is something that is practiced and enacted in girls’ daily lives, in their localities. As geogra- phers Doreen Massey and Nigel Thrift argue, “place has become one of the key means by which the social sciences and humanities are att empt- ing to lever open old ways of proceeding and telling new stories about the world” (2009: 276–277), a world that is deeply marked and territo- rialized around lived experiences of gender, race, sexuality, class, age, citizenship, and other social diff erences, privileges, and oppressions. Just as place as a concept is of great signifi cance to geography, so, too, is it crucial to the study of girlhood. The chapters of this book approach place as an especially productive and enabling concept in the fi eld of girlhood studies, one that provides needed specifi city to the very meaning of girl. Refl ecting on her study of country girlhood in Australia, Catherine Driscoll argues that local specifi city “produces and evaluates styles of girlhood and distinctions between types of girl” (2008: 78) in ways that, without explicit att ention to space and place, tend to be grouped under the less-diversifi ed term girl culture.

  • Ohitika Chade Wiya
    Running head: OHITIKA CHADE WIYA Ohitika Chade Wiya – Brave Hearted Woman: A Narrative of Recovery, Reclamation and Renewal of an Indigenous woman’s body image by Toni Sparkling Eyes Letendre A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Faculty of Physical Education and Recreation University of Alberta © Toni Sparkling Eyes Letendre, 2016 OHITIKA CHADE WIYA ii Abstract Body image research with Indigenous women typically focuses on the concept of health and their understandings of health. However, it is necessary to acknowledge how Indigenous women’s body image has been shaped through heteropatriarchy and settler colonialism. The purpose of this autoethnography was to understand Indigenous women’s body image. This study has been guided through an Indigenous perspective that draws from my own Indigenous background as a Nakota and the theoretical framework of Indigenous feminism(s). The guiding research question was ‘how can we create a safe space for Indigenous women to seek empowerment and find opportunity to share their own body image narratives of heteropatriarchal colonial and sexual violence?’ Typically, in our society when individuals speak up about the violence they experience, they are victim-blamed and shunned. When Indigenous women experience colonial or sexual violence (e.g. missing and murdered Indigenous women), they are silenced. I used epiphanies to capture these experiences and to challenge the conceptualization of Indigenous bodies within the biomedical and mainstream media discourse. I drew from remembered moments that have significantly impacted my body image experiences. I created a three-part collection of poetry and prose to capture my thoughts, feelings, and emotions from racism, sexism, and discrimination growing up in Edmonton, Alberta.

  • Platform Feminism: Feminist Protest Space and the Politics of Spatial Organization
    Platform Feminism: Feminist Protest Space and the Politics of Spatial Organization by Rianka Singh A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto © Copyright by Rianka Singh 2020 Platform Feminism: Feminist Protest Space and the Politics of Spatial Organization Rianka Singh Doctor of Philosophy Faculty of Information University of Toronto 2020 Abstract Platform Feminism: Feminist Protest Space and the Politics of Spatial Organization examines the relationship between platforms and feminist politics. This dissertation proposes a new feminist media theory of the platform that positions the platform as a media object that elevates and amplifies some voices over others and renders marginal resistance tactics illegible. This dissertation develops the term “Platform Feminism” to describe an emerging view of digital platforms as always-already politically useful media for feminist empowerment. I argue that Platform Feminism has come to structure and dominate popular imaginaries of what a feminist politics is. In the same vein, the contemporary focus on digital platforms within media studies negates attention to the strategies of care, safety and survival that feminists who resist on the margins employ in the digital age. If we take seriously the imperative to survive rather than an overbearing commitment to speak up, then the platform’s role in feminism is revealed as limited in scope and potential. Through a mixed methodological approach via interviews with feminist activists, critical discourse analysis of platform protest materials, critical discourse analysis of news coverage and popular cultural responses to transnational feminist protests and participant observation within sites of feminist protest in Toronto, this dissertation argues that the platform is a media object that is over-determined in its political utility for Feminist politics and action.

    THE LITERARY LIVES OF MARGINALIZED READERS: PREADOLESCENT GIRLS’ RATIONALES FOR BOOK CHOICE AND EXPERIENCES WITH SELF-SELECTED BOOKS By JENNIFER MICHELLE GRAFF A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2007 1 © 2007 Jennifer Michelle Graff 2 To “The Girls’ Club” 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I could not have completed this part of my life journey, filled with pit stops, side trips, exciting adventures, and extended stays, without the strength, love, and support of many people. I am extremely appreciative of my dissertation committee members, Dr. Danling Fu, Dr. Dick Allington, Dr. Linda Lamme, and Dr. John Cech, who warmly accepted my idiosyncrasies and kindly helped me channel my passion for research. Without their mentorship, I doubt I would have made it this far. The intellectual acuity and nurturing demeanor of my committee chair, Danling Fu, helped me improve my work and changed my approach to life. Dick Allington and his work with struggling readers was the catalyst for my pursuit of a doctorate. My research apprenticeship with him was invaluable and I still reel at the wealth of knowledge he not only possesses but willingly shares with others without hesitation. I am also thankful to have met and worked with Linda Lamme, with whom I share a passion for children’s literature and commitment to social justice. Our personal chats and email exchanges about children, books, and the powerful effects of their interactions, were enriching and will always be remembered. John Cech’s expertise in children’s culture was also helpful in multiple ways.

More than a newsletter but not quite a journal, RACE-Link at best constitutes a quasi-journal. In this issue, we continue to plot the lines defining race in its contemporary configurations in the post 9/11 Canadian context. This issue begins with Sunera Thobani’s article ‘No Academic Exercise’ tracing the highly problematic notion of academic freedom. Thobani calls attention to the lack of such freedom in voicing dissent against the ongoing War on Muslim bodies. She underlines the tenuous position of women of colour in the academy whose grounded knowledge is neither validated nor their critique acknowledged.

  • An Intersectional Analysis of Sexual Violence Policies, Responses, and Prevention Efforts at Ontario Universities
    An intersectional analysis of sexual violence policies, responses, and prevention efforts at Ontario universities Emily M. Colpitts A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate program in Gender, Feminist and Women’s Studies York University Toronto, Ontario August 2019 © Emily Colpitts, 2019 Abstract In the context of public scrutiny, heightened media attention, and the introduction of provincial legislation on campus sexual violence, Canadian post-secondary institutions are facing unprecedented pressure to respond. This dissertation critically analyzes how sexual violence is being conceptualized in post-secondary institutions’ policies, responses, and prevention efforts. Specifically, the dissertation engages with the qualitative findings emerging from discourse analysis of post-secondary institutions’ sexual violence policies and interviews with 31 stakeholders, including students, faculty, and staff involved in efforts to prevent and address sexual violence at three Ontario universities and members of community anti-violence organizations. The project is grounded in an intersectional analysis of sexual violence, which de- centres the ‘ideal’ survivor and challenges the dominant depoliticized framing of sexual violence as an interpersonal issue by revealing its structural dimensions and its intersections with systems of oppression. While a number of Ontario universities reference intersectionality in their sexual violence policies,

Doctoral Dissertations. 1655. https://opencommons.uconn.edu/dissertations/1655 Alternative Biographies: (Re)telling Feminine (Hi)stories in Selected 20th-Century Texts by Québécois Women Writers Jessica A. McBride, PhD University of Connecticut, 2017 The objective of this dissertation is to examine the tendency on the part of several québécois women authors from the 20th century to create alternative feminine biographies for forgotten, undervalued, or misrepresented women from the past. Given the complex relationship the Québécois have with their provincial history, and the central role chauvinistic representations of women and the “Québec national text” play in safeguarding the québécois cultural identity, contemporary women writers from Québec are singularly poised to resurrect, recreate, revive, and rewrite the feminine historical experience into the traditional discourse of History. From Québec’s most famous woman writer, Anne Hébert, to a lesser known militant lesbian playwright, Jovette Marchessault, and other québécois women writers along the spectrum, there exists a common trope: plays and novels in which homo- or heterodiegetic women narrators feel compelled to (re)tell another woman’s feminine (hi)story. Some examples of this practice appear initially to be somewhat traditional works of historical fiction, others ignore almost entirely the referential world beyond the confines of their pages.
