How to get to Paradise Point from San Diego International Airport and Transportation Details Paradise Point Resort is located about 6–8 miles from San Diego International Airport (depending on route) and the best way to travel is by taxi or ride share (Lyft or Uber). Travel time between Paradise Point and the airport by car is around 15–20 minutes. There are designated areas for Lyft/Uber right outside the airport building and you can follow signs. Important: Taxis, Ubers and Lyfts typically pick up directly from the Front Lobby. How do I submit my receipts for the SWS Cost Share? After returning home from the Winter Meeting, you will submit your Cost Share form and receipts via the MemberClicks platform.

It has been an amazing year preparing for our 2020 Winter Meeting and I trust you are all looking forward to it as much as I am. The theme of this year’s conference is “Feminist Futures in the Global South: Visions, Scholarship, Activism, and Creativity.” The goal is to explore, acknowledge, and celebrate ways in which the next generation of feminists envision, organize, and strategize to promote social justice and advance gender equality in their respective contexts, whether regionally in the global South, through scholarly and activist engagement around migration and border politics, or by honoring the history, accomplishments, and future trajectories of the discipline of women, gender, and sexuality studies, including feminist sociology which we all share in common as SWS members. My vision for this meeting is that we can use this opportunity to engage in critical feminist dialogue with each other on these and other pressing issues that have an impact on our world today and from these exchanges, learn from each other through our scholarship, activism, pedagogy, and creativity how we and others respond individually and collectively to build sustainable communities that are firmly grounded in feminist principles of gender equality and social justice. We have an excellent line up of plenary speakers coming from Colombia (Erika Marquez Montaño), Ghana (Akosua Darkwah, University of Ghana), Iran (Kristin Soraya Batmanghelichi, Oslo University), and Trinidad and Tobago (Sue Anne Barratt, University of the West Indies, St. Augustine). Other visiting plenary speakers are Joanna Brooks, Co–Founder, Detainee Allies, San Diego, California and Associate Vice President for Faculty Advancement at San Diego State University; Doreen Mattingly, Chair of the Department of Women’s Studies at San Diego State University, California; and Shereen Siddiqui, Assistant Professor of Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies at Santiago Canyon College, Orange County, California. We are also showcasing our own SWS star scholars, such as Sara Crawley, Manisha Desai, Marlese Durr, Melanie Heath, Minjeong Kim, Veronica Montes, Bandana Purkayastha, Manashi Ray, and Roberta Villalón. Plenary sessions will be chaired by renowned SWS scholars Margaret Abraham, Chris Bose, and Mary Osirim. I am very excited to bring to SWS the Augmented Reality Comic Book Exhibit based on Priya’s Shakti’s Indian Comic Book Series. Reuters describes the series “as the first Indian comic book of its kind—not only confronting teenagers with the sensitive issue of sexual violence, but also engaging young people through its innovative use of augmented reality technology.” The comic book on which the exhibit is based features India’s first female superhero who is a rape survivor and was named by UN Women as a “Gender Equality Champion.” Our own Marybeth Stalp, Chair of the Winter Meeting Program Planning Committee, will introduce and moderate discussion about the exhibit during Thursday evening’s Welcome Reception. In line with the theme of this year’s meeting, proceeds from the Silent Auction will go towards funding two local organizations: Detainee Allies, a San Diego based organization working on family separation and refugee detention and License to Freedom, a grassroots organization working to stop domestic violence in refugee and immigrant communities in San Diego County. A representative from each organization will speak briefly at the Banquet and Silent Auction. Please remember to bring items for the Silent Auction and money to buy these items so that we can raise a good amount to present to both organizations, which are doing such good work. Planning a meeting is not easy work and takes a lot of staff and volunteer time and effort. I thank Barret Katuna, our Executive Officer, and Natasha Santana, Assistant to the Executive Officer; Marybeth Stalp, Winter Meeting Program Planning Committee Chair, and Minjeong Kim, Chair of the Local Arrangements Committee; and all members of the Planning and Local Arrangements Committee, namely, Georgiann Davis, Sasha Drummond–Lewis, Jax Gonzales, Shobha Hamal Gurung, Alyssa Hernandez, April Hovav, Veronica Montes, Vanessa Nuñez, Manashi Ray, Ranita Ray, Marisa Salinas, Ruth Marleen Hernández (Auction) and Kamryn 6 Warren Auction) without whose time, commitment, and voluntary efforts it would have been difficult to put together this excellent program. Thank you all so much. I’d like to also thank all those members who are volunteering in various capacities during the meeting to make the program a success. Before we engage in these critical and pressing dialogues, let us acknowledge that the land on which we gather is the traditional territory of the Kumeyaay Nation, whose territories extend across the recent, nation-state territorial borders referred to as the United States of America and Mexico. We acknowledge and pay our respect to this land and its Peoples who continue to resist, live, and uphold their sacred relations, and through this acknowledgement, we, SWS, commit to beginning the processes of addressing ongoing settler colonialism from which our institutions continue to benefit. We thank the people of the Kumeyaay Nation for their continued stewardship. I look forward to spending time with you all at Paradise Point, wish you all safe travels to and from our meeting, and thank you for the opportunity to serve as the next President of SWS.

The chain of events begins when Garibooli, a young Aboriginal girl, is removed by authorities in 1918, never to be reunited with her family. The subsequent search for identity by the generations of children stemming from Garibooli reveals scars within the Aboriginal community that can never be healed completely. Behrendt cleverly shows this search for identity and belonging in a colonial world by following the children and grandchildren of Garibooli, as Garibooli was made to feel too ashamed to pass on her heritage to her progeny. The numerous characters give human faces and experiences to a highly politicised issue in contemporary Australian society, making Home a solid text in which to explore these issues in the classroom.

Feminism, Feminist Scholarship, and Social Integration of Women: The Struggle for African-American Women. By Jilly M. Ngwainmbii Abstract This paper focuses on the intellectual and scholarly basis of the struggle for social integration of African-American women into American society. Feminism is viewed as the broad context within which this struggle must be conceived, understood, and sustained. Because the struggle is conceptualized as intellectually driven, the paper begins by critically examining feminist scholarship and the contention that feminist scholarship provides the basis for social integration of African-American women into male-dominated American society. A distinct contribution of this paper to the current scholarship is a proposed framework for a process of social integration of African-American women, one which draws on the works and experiences of African-American women in general, and those in academe in particular.

  • A Sociology of the Chick Lit of Anita Heiss

    A Sociology of the Chick Lit of Anita Heiss

    A Sociology of the Chick Lit of Anita Heiss By Fiannuala Morgan Submitted in total fulfillment of the requirements of Master of Arts (Thesis only) School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne 1 Abstract Wiradjuri woman, Anita Heiss, is arguably one of the first Australian authors of popular fiction. Since 2007, she has published across a diversity of genres including chick lit, contemporary women’s fiction, romance, memoir and children’s literature. A focus on the political characterises her work; and her identity as an author is both supplemented and complemented by her roles as an academic, activist and public intellectual. Heiss has discussed genre as a means of targeting specific audiences that may be less engaged with Indigenous affairs, and positions her novels as educative but not didactic. There remains, however, some ambivalence about the significance of the role that genre plays in her literature as well as for the diverse and differentiated audience that she attracts. The aims of this thesis then are two-fold: firstly, to present a complication of academic conceptions of genre, then to use this discussion to explore the social significance of Heiss’ literature. My focus is Heiss’ first four chick lit novels: Not Meeting Mr Right (2007), Avoiding Mr Right (2008), Manhattan Dreaming (2010) and Paris Dreaming (2011). Scholarship in the field leans toward an understanding that the racial politics of non-white articulations of the chick lit genre are invariably incompatible with the basic formula of chick lit texts. My thesis proposes a methodological shift from the dominant mode of ideological analysis to one that is largely focused on reader response.

    Income Management and Indigenous Women: a New Chapter of Patriarchal Colonial Governance?

    2016 Thematic: Income Management and Indigenous Women 843 16 INCOME MANAGEMENT AND INDIGENOUS WOMEN: A NEW CHAPTER OF PATRIARCHAL COLONIAL GOVERNANCE? SHELLEY BIELEFELD* I INTRODUCTION Like other colonial countries, Australia has long governed its First Peoples with intrusive paternalism. Paternalistic governance has created ongoing problems for Australia’s First Peoples, also referred to in national discourse as Indigenous peoples and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. 1 Such paternalism has created specific difficulties for Indigenous women who have been subject to surveillance and controlled by colonialism in every sphere of their lives. This article will explore some of these forms of surveillance and argue that new forms of paternalism ushered in by ‘the global ascendance of neo- liberal policies and discourses’2 have reproduced similar racialised and gendered impacts for Indigenous women as were apparent in previous policies. Situating income management in a global context, welfare reform has been and continues to be underway in many Western nations as policies are fitted to the framework * Dr Shelley Bielefeld is the Inaugural Braithwaite Research Fellow at the RegNet School of Regulation and Global Governance at the Australian National University. The author wishes to thank Professor Jon Altman, Professor Larissa Behrendt, Associate Professor Thalia Anthony, Dr Marina Nehme, Dr Elise Klein and the anonymous reviewers for their most helpful comments on an earlier draft. This article was written whilst a visiting scholar at the Centre for Aboriginal Economic Policy Research at the Australian National University and Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning at the University of Technology Sydney. The author thanks both institutions for their gracious hospitality and their staff for such stimulating dialogue.

    finding Eliza: power and Colonial storytelling by Larissa Behrendt 211 pp., illus, University of Queensland Press, St Lucia, 2016, ISBN 9780702253904 (pbk), $24.95. Review by Peter Read National Centre for Indigenous History The Australian National University Larissa Behrendt, distinguished Professor of Law in the Jumbunna Indigenous House of Learning at the University of Technology Sydney, has extended her redoubtable talents into film-production, fiction and history. This short but punchy book begins with the variety of ways in which the story of Eliza Fraser, shipwrecked off Fraser Island near Hervey Bay in 1836, has been interpreted by many writers of many generations. Fraser’s story has been conflated with popular tales of Native American and Man Friday–style savages, which served to exaggerate the supposed barbarism of her hosts and enabled subsequent writers to place her story firmly into the sensational category of female captivity narratives. In this she traverses the same ground as other writers, especially Kay Shaeffer and Veronica Brady. A short chapter addresses the Butchulla people, amongst whom Fraser lived. The Elder Olga Miller, following an oral tradition, believes that a Clever Woman, on Fraser’s unexpected arrival, marked her with white ochre which continued to protect her until her rescue. Fraser was indignant at being asked to carry out camp chores which Olga Miller interpreted as her necessary contribution to her being cared for. From this point the book widens into a broader discussion on literature, including an analysis of Pritchard’s Coonardoo. Many, including Manning Clark, welcomed the book demonstrating that love was possible between whites and Aborigines (as if such a proposition needed to be verified).
  • Feminist Ecology: Doing, Undoing, and Redoing Gender in Science

    Feminist Ecology: Doing, Undoing, and Redoing Gender in Science

    http://genderandset.open.ac.uk Feminist ecology: Doing, undoing, and redoing gender in science Amy S. Teller, Apollonya M. Porcelli Brown University, USA ABSTRACT Women continue to be underrepresented in STEM fields and also are more likely to leave academic careers than men. While much existing sociological research on gender in science focuses on structures, institutions, and policies, we take a cultural and phenomenological approach to the question. We focus on the interaction between structural and micro-sociological forces that uphold existing gender inequalities and drive new forms of inequality within the discipline of ecology by tracing the experience of female graduate students. Ecology in the United States and elsewhere is currently undergoing three shifts, well documented by previous studies—more female scientists, interdisciplinary work, and research in human- altered landscapes—that comprise a transition to what we call “feminist ecology.” We ask whether these disciplinary-level shifts in ecology are accompanied by renegotiations in the way ecologists “do gender” as they work. In this paper we argue that despite structural changes toward a feminist ecology, gender inequalities are not eliminated. Our data collected using ethnographic and autoethnographic methods during ecological fieldwork in the Northeastern United States, show that gender inequality persists through daily interactions, shaping the way that fieldwork is conducted and bodies are policed. We provide additional evidence of the way that ecologists and non-ecologists interact during fieldwork, highlighting the embeddedness of scientific disciplines within larger societal forces. Thus, the question of women in science cannot be understood strictly from within the bounds of science but extends to gender relations in society at large.

    Feminism and Feminist Scholarship in Academe: Women’S Struggle for Recognition Continues in Sociology

    Greener Journal of Social Sciences ISSN: 2276-7800 Vol. 2 (2), pp. 050-065, May 2012. Research Article Feminism and Feminist Scholarship in Academe: Women’s Struggle for Recognition continues in Sociology. Jilly M. Ngwainmbi Department of Sociology, Fayetteville State University, Fayetteville, North Carolina 28301. Email: [email protected] Abstract This paper focuses on feminism and feminist scholarship as basic frameworks for women’s struggles for recognition in academe in general and in sociology in particular. A distinct contribution of the paper to the current literature is the focus on the theory-perspective distinction in sociology as one of the major focuses of women’s struggle for recognition in academe in general and in sociology in particular. After a careful and critical examination of the classical roots, varieties, basic domain assumptions of feminist theory, theoretical and methodological arguments for and against a feminist perspective in sociology, the following conclusions are drawn: 1) feminist theory must be recognized and accepted for its significant contribution to the birth and development of sociology and its major role in helping to broaden the field of sociology and provide a broader and better understanding of society, the individual in society, and various social phenomena; 2) however, there is no sound sociological grounds for the establishment of a separate, distinct feminist perspective in sociology; and 3) it is necessary to clearly separate feminism in its activist form from legitimate feminist scholarship in sociology in order to preserve and maintain the integrity of the discipline as a legitimate science. Keywords: Feminism, Feminist Scholarship, Feminist Theory, Theory, Theoretical Perspective Introduction The history of women’s subjugation, domination and oppression is a long and painful one, involving all forms of discrimination and exclusionary practices used by men.
