We have nearly 2,000 registrants and more than 500 breakout sessions, making NWSA 2014 our largest conference ever! I want to highlight two important changes we have made to accommodate this amazing turnout of feminist scholars: wwThe general conference opens on Thursday, November 13 at 1 PM and continues through Sunday, November 16 at 1:15 PM, so plan to arrive early and stay through Sunday to be sure you don’t miss any cutting- edge sessions. wwbell hooks’ keynote address will take place from 7-9 PM on Friday, November 14. Note that the Program Administration and Development, Women’s Center, and Women of Color Leadership Project pre-conference events will take place as always from 9-5 PM on Thursday, November 13. The conference endeavors to take up the histories, geographies, affective dimensions, and political stakes of various feminist insubordinations in the spaces they occupy: intellectual and institutional, local and global, public and intimate, by choice and under duress. Mobilizing the multivalent concept of transgression helps reframe interrogations and impositions into those locations where we labor, love, defy, resist, protest, play, create, and/or celebrate. Our meeting location in San Juan, Puerto Rico provides an important opportunity to imagine the potentials of feminist transgressions around questions of indigeneity, empire, the citizen subject, militarism, and ongoing strategies of resistance. The program committee and staff have worked hard to provide a dynamic program, which I hope you will find both thought-provoking and invigorating. As I move to the conclusion of my term as president of the association, I must underscore that I remain excited, as ever, about NWSA’s future and the role we can play together in its growth, and once again I welcome you to the conference. Sincerely, Yi-Chun Tricia Lin NWSA President 2012-2014 Professor of Women’s Studies Southern Connecticut State University NOVEMBER 13–16, 2014 | SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO 7 KEYNOTE ADDRESS 8 2014 NWSA ANNUAL CONFERENCE Keynote Address: bell hooks FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 2014 When Dr. hooks published her first book, And There We Wept, in 1978, she released it under the name 7:00–9:00 PM “bell hooks” for two reasons.

  • Turisme I Gènere: Implementació a L'aula De La
    TURISME I GÈNERE: IMPLEMENTACIÓ A L’AULA DE LA PERSPECTIVA FEMINISTA PROJECTE FINAL DE GRAU EN TURISME MENCIÓ EN DIRECCIÓ TURÍSTICA Barcelona, gener de 2020 RESUM La indústria turística, com a sector econòmic present arreu del planeta, forma part de les estructures de poder globals, i hi interactua tant reproduint les barreres que comporten, com alhora possibilitant la reducció de la pobresa. D’altra banda, la perspectiva de gènere, provinent de múltiples corrents feministes, és integral, transversal i multidisciplinar, per la qual cosa es situa com una plataforma que permet llegir la realitat amb nous criteris. En aquest cas, aplicar aquesta visió holística al turisme suposa la revisió d’un gran nombre de dinàmiques pròpies de la indústria, així com també de fets estructurals que es reprodueixen en l’activitat turística. El feminisme, doncs, permet situar les desigualtats de gènere al centre de l’anàlisi, per tal d’entendre de quines maneres aquestes es reprodueixen en la indústria turística i quins recursos existeixen per a reduir-les. L’objectiu d’aquest Projecte de Final de Grau és la creació d’una assignatura optativa que permeti implementar la perspectiva de gènere a les aules universitàries; amb la finalitat de potenciar el pensament crític de les estudiants i construir noves mirades que permetin apostar per un turisme inclusiu i sostenible. La metodologia emprada en aquesta investigació ha estat una revisió crítica de 836 articles provinents de la base de dades Scopus; a partir dels quals s’han identificat les principals temàtiques i debats presents en aquest àmbit de coneixement. A partir d’aquests resultats s’ha creat el programa de l’assignatura optativa, que ha passat per una fase de validació consistent en dues entrevistes en profunditat a expertes en aquesta temàtica.

The Margaret Lawrence Gallery also has contributed to this dialogue through such exhibitions as Bird Girls and A Time Like This after which Laura Castagnini approached me, in mid-2011, about the possibility of working together on a project she was researching around humour in contemporary feminist art practice. We had met a few times previously, beginning several conversations about the current state of feminism – but without really having an opportunity to take the discussions further – and we were certainly interested in one another’s perspectives on an issue in which we both felt deeply invested; in this instance, Laura was specifically interested in how humour within feminist practices was often marginalised, misread or overlooked altogether. The Curator Mentorship Initiative administered by NAVA (the National Association for the Visual Arts) seemed the perfect platform for Laura and I – as women from different generations and contexts, and at different stages in our professional lives – to formalise a relationship and commence working together.

  • Cultivating Chingona Power: a Study on the Chingona Identity
    CULTIVATING CHINGONA POWER: A STUDY ON THE CHINGONA IDENTITY By Celia Orosco Haro A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Sociology Committee Membership Dr. Jennifer Eichstedt, Committee Chair Dr. Renée Byrd, Committee Member Dr. Jennifer Eichstedt, Program Graduate Coordinator July 2019 ABSTRACT CULTIVATING CHINGONA POWER: A STUDY ON THE CHINGONA IDENTITY Celia Orosco Haro Mujeres across the country are claiming the Chingona identity and using it to cultivate their Chingona strength, feel empowered, and live for their own approval. A Chingona in this newly reclaimed use means a woman who embodies confidence, acceptance of self, reclamation of sexuality, siguiendo le adelante por su propio camino sin importarle lo que digan los demás, rejects social and cultural norms/expectations of women, and uses her strengths to empower and uplift others. Through the reclamation of this identity, these mujeres are moving beyond being hijas de la chingada to being Chingonas. This research showcases the Chingona identity through interviews and photo elicitation with nine participants to get an in-depth view of how participants make sense of their identity. This research highlights the reasons why this identity is being claimed, what it takes to be a Chingona, and the challenges faced when claiming this identity. Participants navigate the multiple identities and cultures they hold through the creation of their Chingona identity, and are able to break past challenges, barriers, norms, and expectations. Through this identity, Chingonas are being empowered to be the best version of themselves, are supporting and uplifting each other, and serving as role models for their community.

  • Chicana Feminist Critical Analysis in the Twenty-First Century Ellie D
    The FutuRE PERfect: Chicana Feminist Critical Analysis in the Twenty-first Century Ellie D. Hernández This essay reviews Chicana feminist criticism at the millennial turn. Using an interdisciplinary and cultural studies analysis, the essay addresses changes in the historical, material, and social development of knowledge production by Chicanas over the last few decades leading up to the new century. Set within the grammatical of a “future perfect,” the essay also takes aim at the antiessentialist and antiutopian academy as it moves into a global and transnational frame. Chicanas have situated their analysis in cultural studies because of its interdisciplinary framing and intersectional concerns with feminist studies. Chicanas have developed a prodigious feminist approach that incorporates many unique elements that resist both the nationalist and foundationalist claims made by Chicanos and American feminists during the 1960s and 1970s. This essay also utilizes a polemical style that is provocative and features some insights into the location of Chicana feminist critical analysis. [Key words: Chicana/o studies, feminist theory, feminist criticism, cultural studies, feminist critical analysis] Chicana feminism derives its interdisciplinary framing of critical analysis from activist, academic, and sociopolitical practices. Among the myriad of dispositions is a general response to systemic exclusion, silence, and divisive institutional politics (Alarcón 1989a/b; González 1997; Pérez 1999; Segura 1993, 1994). And while the last forty years have seen the elaboration of the field of feminist studies with a list of major publications and changes in pedagogical practices, Chicana feminist critical analysis has been widely recognized in other venues, such as contemporary leftist theory, cultural studies, sexuality studies, and queer studies.

As convener since the start of 2013, I have had many wonderful opportunities to meet with our members and friends, at ANU and beyond. My speaking invitations have included those from staff associations at CSIRO and Government House, as well as from the women’s caucus of the Australian Education Union.
