Fleitz Editor’s Welcome Jen Wingard There has never been a better time to review for, publish in, or edit Peitho! Not only is the Coalition for Feminist Scholars in the History of Rhetoric and Composition celebrating its thirtieth year as a significant feminist organization in our field.1 Not only is the journal about to embark on a quarterly production schedule. Not only have we developed a new section devoted to cultivating and sharing archives, which will appear in at least one issue of Peitho a year.2 And not only are we about to publish a series of excellent and timely special issues over the next three summers–the first in 2019 on the Legacy of Our Bodies Ourselves; the second in 2020 on Transgender Rhetorics3; and the third a co-produced issue with Constellations on the intersections between femi- nism and cultural rhetorics! But the real reason to become involved with Peitho is because some of the best feminist scholarship in the field of rhetoric and composition is being published here. And issue 21.2 is a clear example of that excellence. This will be the last mega-issue of Peitho. Our move to quarterly produc- tion will allow for fewer essays per issue, and potentially more focused clus- ters of essays. In fact, there will be a cluster on the centennial of women’s suf- frage in 2020, so look for a CFP sometime in late summer 2019. Our move to quarterly will also see Peitho move to a digital native journal. This allows us to support fully multimodal and interactive texts in the journal. This is something we are all excited to embrace beginning with our Fall 2019 issue. All of this news is to say that as Peitho continues to grow, please continue to read and submit your work here. It is an exciting journal with a long histo- ry of feminist commitment and scholarly support in the field of rhetoric and 1 http://cwshrc.org/blog/2018/09/01/re-examining-intersectionality/ 2 http://peitho.cwshrc.org/news/ call-for-submissions-new-peitho-feature-recoveries-and-reconsiderations/ 3 http://peitho.cwshrc.org/news/ call-for-papers-transgender-rhetorics/ Peitho Journal: Vol. 21.2, 2019 vi Jen Wingard composition. And it is certainly continuing to be a thriving place for intellectual work. And this current issue is no exception. It is chock-full of feminist goodness, the likes of which would even put a smile on Lisa Mastrangelo’s bad-ass grand- mother’s face which adorns our cover. (Thank you, Lisa, for the use of your family photo.) And the work covers a rich array of feminist topics: gendered service and raced mentorship; archival methods engaging with new technol- ogies; digital spaces as potentially emancipatory; and historical figures and literary texts as embodied. We also have a slate of five book reviews of current feminist work. The entire issue is well worth a read. So with that, I invite you to enjoy 21.2, the Spring 2019 issue of Peitho. And remember as you attend the CCCCs in Pittsburgh to visit us at the Editor’s Roundtable during the Research Network Forum. I’d love to hear your ideas for essays, special clusters, or archives you’d like to share. Also be sure to check out the terrific feminist panels aggregated by the Coalition of Feminist Scholars, too.4 It is an exciting time to be a feminist in our field, and it is an equally exciting time to think about what it means to be a feminist in our field. The folks publishing in Peitho are certainly taking that question seriously, and I thank them for it. 4 http://cwshrc.org/blog/2019/03/01/coalition-curated-guide-to-4c19/ Peitho Journal: Vol. 21.2, 2019 Special Cluster on Gendered Service in Rhetoric and Writing Studies: I. Transforming the Value of Gendered Service through Institutional Culture Change Jennifer Heinert and Cassandra Phillips Abstract: Using the lens of feminized labor, we argue that the ways in which the academy defines success are misaligned with the service that is required to fulfill the mission of our institutions and meet the learning needs of students. Those who perform feminized labor and service, particularly in Composition, are at a disad- vantage in every way “success” is measured in the academy (teaching, professional development, and service). Transforming how feminized labor is valued involves reexamining institutional missions and then redefining service, research, workload, and expertise in a way that aligns labor with institutional values. This process in- cludes a) redefining and assessing labor and workload in terms of how it supports the institutional mission; b) defining and assessing professional development as work that supports the institutional mission; and c) valuing, supporting, and devel- oping the expertise that is required for sustaining the labor of institutions. Keywords: Feminized labor, service, gender, composition Every month, there is another career advice piece on “how to succeed” in higher education that makes the rounds on social media. These pieces often tell overcommitted faculty that the path to success involves learning to say no: Chronicle blogger Natalie M. Houston offers specific advice about how and when to say no in “Five Guidelines for Saying No” and “Should You Say Yes or No?” Likewise, in “To Find Happiness in Academe, Women Should Just Say No,” Rena Seltzer defines a “strong research profile” as the “prize” for increased happiness in academia (see also Wilson). A refrain of these pieces is “beware of service commitments.” Especially for women faculty, service is painted as an adversary to success and promotion. These advice articles highlight the service paradox of labor in higher education. On the one hand, it is clear from data about labor and the profession (see Massé and Hogan, Modern Language Association) that service commitments are holding women back Peitho Journal: Vol.

  • 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.

  • 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,

    Women’s Studies proquest.com To talk to the sales department, contact us at 1-800-779-0137 or [email protected]. “Women’s history” is not confined to a discrete subdiscipline. Rather, every branch of history, from political and social to local and international, is also the history of women. But the roles and perspectives of women are frequently overlooked in the past struggles and triumphs that shape our modern lives. This can make it difficult for students and scholars to discover resources that illuminate these connections and permit fresh insights. Women’s history databases from ProQuest are thoughtfully curated by experts to overcome this challenge. Suffrage, reproductive rights, economic issues, intersectionality, sexual discrimination – these are just some of the many topics that can be explored in depth with ProQuest’s extensive, carefully selected Women’s History collections. The experiences, influences, and observations of women over time and around the world are brought to the forefront of interdisciplinary research and learning through materials such as organizational documents, domestic records, personal correspondence, books, videos, historical periodicals, newspapers, dissertations as well as literature and fashion publications.

  • Youth Engaging in Prostitution: an Examination of Race, Gender, and Their Intersections
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: YOUTH ENGAGING IN PROSTITUTION: AN EXAMINATION OF RACE, GENDER, AND THEIR INTERSECTIONS Ryan Shanahan, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Directed by: Dr. Bonnie Thornton Dill, Women’s Studies Between 2008 and 2012, 10 states took steps to decriminalize young people arrested for prostitution while providing them with court-mandated services to help them recover from their experiences with prostitution. In 2006, the National Institute of Justice funded a study to estimate the population of youth engaging in prostitution in the New York City area. As a part of the study, 249 young people engaging in prostitution (YEP) were interviewed about their experiences. This dissertation explores the legislation created to address YEP and the incorporation of ideas in public discourse into legislative policy, as well as how these policies reflect the experiences and needs of YEP as they articulate them. This interdisciplinary, feminist study explores how these differing constructions and the relationships between them are built within raced, gendered, and classed power relations. To answer these questions, the dissertation uses quantitative and qualitative methods and draws from theories of feminism, intersectionality, harm reduction, and strength-based social work.

  • Women and Gender Studies Internet Reference Resources: a Critical Overview
    Women and Gender Studies Internet Reference Resources: A Critical Overview Cindy Ingold Women and Gender Resources Librarian University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign 415 Main Library 1408 West Gregory Drive Urbana, IL 61801 [email protected] 1 Women Internet Resources Summary: The field of women and gender studies has matured over the last decade with many colleges and universities now offering undergraduate majors, and several others offering master’s and doctoral degrees. Coinciding with the growth of the discipline and the growth of published materials, there has been a concurrent evolution of electronic resources in women and gender studies, both proprietary and freely available on the Web. This article provides a general overview with annotations of selected online resources in women and gender studies. Keywords: women’s studies; gender studies; online resources; Internet; World Wide Web 2 Women Internet Resources Women and Gender Studies Internet Reference Resources: A Critical Overview Cindy Ingold INTRODUCTION As a discipline within institutions of higher education in the United States, Women’s Studies has become more firmly established in the last ten to fifteen years. The website Women’s Studies Programs, Departments, & Research Centers (see description below) maintained by Joan Korenman has links to over 700 sites for programs, departments, and centers from around the world. Over 600 of these sites are within the United States. The field of women’s studies has grown from its evolution in the women’s movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s when only a handful of classes were taught on college campuses to today where many universities now offer undergraduate majors in women’s studies and more and more are beginning to create graduate programs.

  • Fandom and the Fourth Wave: Youth, Digital Feminisms, and Media Fandom on Tumblr
    FANDOM AND THE FOURTH WAVE: YOUTH, DIGITAL FEMINISMS, AND MEDIA FANDOM ON TUMBLR Briony Hannell Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) University of East Anglia (UEA) School of Politics, Philosophy, and Language and Communication Studies September 2020 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived therefrom must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. Abstract Recent scholarly accounts have noted the increasing slippage between feminism, digital cultures, and popular culture, yet few have located media fandom at this juncture. While critical and celebratory modes of popular culture consumption, production, and critique are central to both fourth wave feminisms and media fandom, both feminist and fan studies scholarship is yet to account for the ways in which media fandom and fourth wave feminisms are deeply connected in practice, as well as how fannish and feminist communities are converging within the digital landscape. Drawing upon feminist cultural studies and fan studies, this thesis offers an examination of the role of media fandom in the development of young people’s feminist identities. Analysing digital ethnographic data gathered over a two- year period through narrative survey, follow-up interviews, and participant observation, it explores the lived experiences of young people who are engaging with feminist discourses, practices, and positionalities in a routine, informal and everyday way through their ties to media fandom on Tumblr. In doing so, it foregrounds the close relationship between feminist cultural studies and fan studies methodologically, theoretically, and empirically, and locates media fandom as a site at which meanings of feminism are collectively produced, negotiated, and contested.
