To celebrate the start of the W season, and our call for short pieces on gender and sports, I talked to @courtmcox.bsky.social, author of Double Crossover, about rivalry and romance, Dawn and Geno, Title IX and transphobia.
We have a new call for news & views (short pieces) on gender & sports. Topics including: Gender and “Fairness” in Sports; Transgender Athlete Participation and Eligibility Policies; Racism in Sports Media Coverage; Queerness in Athletic Culture; Branding of Women’s Sports. Please submit!
Scholarly journal editors talking about feminist scholarly writing under authoritarianism. Thanks @signsjournal.org for including us!
How does taking seriously the experiences of trans athletes alter the terms of the debate about sports participation? @christinakahrl.bsky.social, @maggiemertens.bsky.social, & Elizabeth Sharrow discuss in their reflections on Ellie Roscher & Anna Baeth's Fair Game. signsjournal.org/fair-game-tr...
We are actively looking for news & views (short pieces) that offer feminist perspectives about the current political moment: the gutting of the Voting Rights Act, Epstein and institutional complicity, AI, fake news and deepfakes, etc. More info on how to submit: www.feministstudies.org/home.html
A new era at Feminist Studies, the same commitments: unabashedly feminist.
