Rethinking Womens and Gender Studies
Rethinking Womens and Gender Studies re-examines the fields foundational assumptions by identifying and critically analyzing eighteen of its key terms. Each essay investigates a single term (e.g., feminism, interdisciplinarity, intersectionality) by asking how it has come to be understood and mobilized in Womens and Gender Studies and then explicates the roles it plays in both producing and shutting down possible versions of the field. The goal of the book is to trace and expose critical paradoxes, ironies, and contradictions embedded in the language of Womens and Gender Studiesfrom its high theory to its casual conversationsthat relies on these key terms. Rethinking Womens and Gender Studies offers a fresh approach to structuring Feminist Theory, Senior Capstone, and introductory graduate-level courses in Womens and Gender Studies.

CATHERINE M. ORR, ANN BRAITHWAITE, AND DIANE LICHTENSTEIN
LAYLI MAPARYAN
Whats important is not feminism or Womens and Gender Studies per se, but rather the transformative, liberatory impulse for which feminism and Womens and Gender Studies are two of many vehicles.
DIANE LICHTENSTEIN
Interdisciplinarity provides a way for Womens and Gender Studies to use the privileges of institutionalization while maintaining a defensive distance from that institutionalization.
KATHERINE SIDE
Methods in Womens and Gender Studies function simultaneously as everything and nothing: everything that other discipline specific methods are not, and nothing because Womens and Gender Studies claims no specific method as its own.
SUSANNE LUHMANN
What if students claim to have been transformed (or personally empowered as women) by a Womens and Gender Studies class that was neither about empowerment nor women?
CATHERINE M. ORR
This ill-defined, endlessly-elastic term is used in punitive ways to chastise the Womens and Gender Studies practitioners whose scholarly projects or theoretical orientations stray too far from the practicaland thereby politicalapplications that activism is said to represent.
ASTRID HENRY
The waves metaphor is both descriptive and prescriptive, simultaneously offering a representation of feminisms history and constraining our imagination of that history.
ALISON PIEPMEIER
Within a besiegement mentality, an insistence on ideological purity makes sense: every compromise seems a concession, one step closer to letting the walls crumble and the enemy in.
MARTHA McCAUGHEY
Neither a Womens and Gender Studies community nor a community of women who is presumably freed by Womens and Gender Studies work can be sustained, politically or intellectually, when in our field we have so successfully dispelled the notion of a common history.
VIVIAN M. MAY
Intersectionalitys recursiveness signifies the degree to which its practices go against the grain of prevailing conceptualizations of personhood, rationality, and liberation politics, even in Womens and Gender Studies.
SCOTT LAURIA MORGENSEN
Interventions by critical race, Indigenous, and transnational feminisms locate Womens and Gender Studies as a potentially crucial site for theorizing identities and politics within the power relations of a colonial and globalized world.
JENNIFER PURVIS
Womens and Gender Studies is always already queer.
ANN BRAITHWAITE
It is time for Womens and Gender Studies to embark on the project of articulating what makes it not simply the same as the sum of academic feminisms.
WENDY KOLMAR
To pay no attention to history in our work, to omit history from the curriculum, or to settle for familiar, or obfuscating metaphors and narratives of history is to deny us all usable pasts.
KARLYN CROWLEY
Is it possible that Womens and Gender Studies can ever be truly multiracial and anti-white supremacist without, at the minimum, recognizing spiritual and religious discourse?
MERRI LISA JOHNSON
The work of compiling a critical genealogy of pathbreaking, polyvocal, restorative, even honey-mad discourses of sexuality in Womens and Gender Studies is urgent, necessary, and delightful.
