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.

  • Feminist Metaphysics Feminist Philosophy Collection
    Feminist Metaphysics Feminist Philosophy Collection Editor Elizabeth Potter Alice Andrews Quigley Professor of Women’s Studies, Mills College, Oakland, CA, USA Over the past 40 years, philosophy has become a vital arena for feminists. Recent feminist work has challenged canonical claims about the role of women and has developed new methods of analysis and critique, and in doing so has reinvigorated central areas of philosophy. The Feminist Philosophy Collection presents new work representative of feminist contributions to the six most significant areas of philosophy: Feminist Ethics and Political and Social Philosophy; Feminist Philosophy of Religion; Feminist Aesthetics and Philosophy of Art; Feminist Metaphysics; Feminist History of Philosophy; and Feminist Epistemology and Philosophy of Science. Feminist work in some fields, notably ethics and social theory, has been going on for four decades, while feminist philosophy of art and aesthetics, as well as feminist metaphysics, are still young. Thus, some volumes will contain essays that build upon established feminist work as they explore new territory, while others break exciting new ground.

  • 2011-12-Faculty-Excellence
    During the 2012 Commencement, Pitzer College President Laura Skandera Trombley recognized retiring Dean of Faculty Alan Jones for his 11 years of service, the longest tenure of a dean in Pitzer’s history. Her summary of Jones’ contributions to the College read like a roll call of Pitzer’s greatest accomplishments over the past decade. In 11 years, Jones hired 54 percent of Pitzer’s tenure-track faculty and created about a dozen new tenure-track positions. During his administration, Pitzer established the 150-acre Firestone Center for Restoration Ecology in Costa Rica and paved the way for the Conservancy for Southern California Sustainability. He oversaw the formation of Pitzer’s Vaccine Development Institute, the Institute for Global Local Action and Study, the Ruth and Lee Munroe Center for Social Inquiry, the Intercollegiate Neuroscience Program, the Intercollegiate Media Studies program, the Intercollegiate Environmental Analysis program, the Chicano/a-Latino/a Transnational Studies program, the Pitzer Art Galleries and the Native Summer Pipeline to College project. A Vietnam War veteran himself, Jones helped increase the number of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans enrolled at Pitzer. As he ushered in these innovative, interdisciplinary programs, he also managed to attend 3,544 standing committee meetings, teach 13 classes and read 2,082 student names at Commencement, hailing more than 40 percent of The College’s graduates as they embarked on their post-Pitzer life. The psychology and neuroscience professor arrived at Pitzer in 1986 and mixed academic and administrative successes throughout his career. He co-founded the Pitzer in Ontario program and was the founding director for the Community Engagement Center, formerly the Center for California Cultural and Social Issues.

PUB TYPE Reports - Research/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC05 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Birth Rate; Census Figures; *Demography; *Educational Attainment; *Employment Level; Family Characteristics; Income; *Language Proficiency; Migr.tion Patterns; Population Growth; Poverty; *Samoan Americans; *Socioeconomic Status IDENTIFIERS California; Census 1980; Hawaii; *Samoans; Washington ABSTRACT This paper provides a broad overview of the demographic, social, and economic characteristics of Samoans in the United States, focusing particularly on the Samoan populations of Hawaii, California, and Washington, where 85% of Samoans reside. The data is derived from the "race" question on the 1980 Census and other local statistical materials. Demographically, the population is found to be highly urbanized, young (average age 19.5 years) and with a high fertility rate (averaging 4.3 children per adult woman). The total U.S. Samoan population projected for the year 2000 is most realistically estimated at 131,000. Among the three States, Hawaii's Samoans are youngest, with a higher dependency ratio and lower sex ratio than elsewhere in the United States.

  • Gwendolyn Mink Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript
    Gwendolyn Mink Daughter of the Honorable Patsy Takemoto Mink of Hawaii Oral History Interview Final Edited Transcript March 14, 2016 Office of the Historian U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. “Well, I think that every little thing—or maybe not so little thing—that the women in Congress dared to speak about, whether it was, you know, not having gym access in the 1960s, or insisting that Anita Hill be heard in 1991, to insisting that certain kinds of women’s issues get a full hearing—I think all of those things have been part of the story of women in Congress, and part of my mother’s story of being a woman in Congress. I think that what she took from her service was a constant reminder to herself of how important it is that women serve in Congress. Because one woman can’t accomplish what 218 women could, right? And so her goal was parity for women, for the whole full range of women’s voices. I think she hoped that the legacy of being the first woman of color, and being a woman who was willing to talk about women, you know, that that would be part of what she would leave to the future.” Gwendolyn Mink March 14, 2016 Table of Contents Interview Abstract i Interviewee Biography i Editing Practices ii Citation Information ii Interviewer Biography iii Interview 1 Notes 40 Abstract In this interview, Gwendolyn Mink reflects on the life and career of her mother, the late Congresswoman Patsy Takemoto Mink of Hawaii, the first woman of color and the first Asian- American woman to serve in the U.S.

  • Misgendering and Its Moral Contestability
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by PhilPapers Misgendering and Its Moral Contestability STEPHANIE JULIA KAPUSTA In this article, I consider the harms inflicted upon transgender persons through “misgender- ing,” that is, such deployments of gender terms that diminish transgender persons’ self- respect, limit the discursive resources at their disposal to define their own gender, and cause them microaggressive psychological harms. Such deployments are morally contestable, that is, they can be challenged on ethical or political grounds. Two characterizations of “woman” proposed in the feminist literature are critiqued from this perspective. When we consider what would happen to transgender women upon the broad implementation of these characteriza- tions within transgender women’s social context, we discover that they suffer from two defects: they either exclude at least some transgender women, or else they implicitly foster hierarchies among women, marginalizing transgender women in particular. In conclusion, I claim that the moral contestability of gender-term deployments acts as a stimulus to regularly consider the provisionality and revisability of our deployments of the term “woman.” In this article I undertake an analysis of the harmful, oppressive, and contestable practice that I call “misgendering.” The focus will be on transgender women, and I take misgendering to mean something broader than simply the use of male pronouns, or of designations associated with being male or with masculinity in referring to transgender women. Here, the notion includes the use of gender terms that exclude transgender women from the category woman,1 or that hierarchize that category in a waythatmarginalizestransgenderwomen.2 One of my main contentions is that oppressive or harmful deployments of gender terms are subject to ethically or politi- cally grounded challenges—that is, are morally contestable—irrespective of the com- petencies, epistemic or linguistic, of those who deploy them.

Byrne This dissertation assesses the relevance and significance of Lonergan’s work to feminist philosophy.1 In particular, this work examines the debate between several contemporary feminist philosophers regarding the question of the relation between sex and gender, as well as their critiques of the Western metaphysical tradition. Ultimately, the trajectory of the work argues that Lonergan’s philosophy, in particular his re- envisioning of the meaning of what it is to do metaphysics, provides a unique and compelling response to the critiques made by feminist philosophers, despite the appearance of overt sexism in his writing. In fact, Lonergan’s approach clarifies the relevance of metaphysical thinking to feminist philosophical analysis. The first chapter examines likely feminist criticisms of Lonergan’s philosophy, as well as points of commonality, particularly between Lonergan’s cognitional theory and various feminist epistemologies.
