Full textAbstract:
Any universal definitions of feminism - as well as what constitutes feminist theory, political strategy, and related practices - are problematic. The patriarchal relations that feminists oppose have different configurations depending on the social, economic, cultural and political contexts. Consequently, there are various feminisms: multiple syntheses of local and universal knowledge. This article analyzes the conceptual and political rifts within the global feminism associated with the hegemony of western ideas and its criticism by transnational and postcolonial feminists and examines the postsocialist transformations and localizations of feminism and, in particular, the evolution of feminist ideas in post-soviet Russia.

Full textAbstract:
Over recent years, young feminist activism has assumed prominence in mainstream media where news headlines herald the efforts of schoolgirls in fighting sexism, sexual violence and inequity. Less visible in the public eye, girls’ activism plays out in social media where they can speak out about gender-based injustices experienced and witnessed. Yet we know relatively little about this significant social moment wherein an increasing visibility of young feminism cohabits a stubbornly persistent postfeminist culture. Acknowledging the hiatus, this paper draws on a qualitative project with teenage feminists to explore how girls are using and producing digital feminist media, what it means for them to do so and how their online practice connects with their offline feminism. Using a feminist poststructuralist approach, analyses identified three key constructions of digital media as a tool for feminist practice: online feminism as precarious and as knowledge sharing; and feminism as “doing something” on/offline. Discussing these findings, I argue that there is marked continuity between girls’ practices in “safe” digital spaces and feminisms practised in other historical and geographical locations. But crucially, and perhaps distinctly, digital media are a key tool to connect girls with feminism and with other feminists in local and global contexts.

Full textAbstract:
This research aims to explain and analyze the feminist practices of members of the Feminist Space Bali community. Feminism is a thought about women's emancipation against injustice due to patriarchy, where men are in a dominant position while women are subordinate. Bali is an example that patriarchy is still the social order of society. It can be seen that Balinese women hold three noble roles but their position is still not appreciated. This raises the awareness of young Balinese women to create a feminist community, as a form of feminist practice. Feminist Space is a feminist community in Bali which aims to be a forum for aspirations for its members, because the meaning of feminism between individuals will be different. The research method used is a qualitative approach with descriptive-explanatory research type. The theoretical analysis chosen as the scalpel in this research is the existentialist feminist theory of Simone de Beauvoir. The research results revealed that community members have various meanings of feminism, so that members' meanings of feminism are divided into two, namely feminism as a foundation and feminism as a way of life. Apart from that, the informant also uses feminism as a basis for living his socio-cultural and economic life. The existence of feminism gives informants an incentive to break negative stereotypes that harm them. The meaning and practice of feminism carried out by the informants is a manifestation of the values of Beauvoir's existentialist feminism, because indirectly it has been done to show the members' self-existence by working, refusing subordination and becoming intellectual agents. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memaparkan serta menganalisis praktik feminisme anggota komunitas Feminis Space Bali. Feminisme merupakan pemikiran tentang emansipasi perempuan terhadap ketidakadilan akibat patriarki, di mana laki-laki berada di posisi dominan sedangkan perempuan subordinat. Bali merupakan salah satu contoh bahwa patriarki masih menjadi tatanan sosial masyarakat, terlihat perempuan Bali memegang tiga peran yang mulia namun posisinya masih tidak diapresiasi. Hal ini menimbulkan kesadaran perempuan muda Bali untuk membuat komunitas feminisme, sebagai wujud praktik feminisme. Feminis Space merupakan komunitas feminisme di Bali yang bertujuan sebagai wadah aspirasi bagi para anggotanya, karena pemaknaan feminisme antar individu akan berbeda. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif-eksplanatif. Analisis teori yang dipilih sebagai pisau bedah dalam penelitian ini adalah teori feminisme eksistensialis dari Simone de Beauvoir. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa anggota komunitas memiliki pemaknaan feminisme yang beragam, sehingga pemaknaan feminis anggota terbagi menjadi dua yaitu feminisme sebagai pondasi dan feminisme sebagai pandangan hidup. Selain itu, Informan juga menjadikan feminisme sebagai landasan dalam menjalani kehidupan sosial-budaya dan ekonominya. Adanya feminisme memberikan para informan sebuah dorongan untuk mematahkan stereotipe negatif yang merugikan mereka. Pemaknaan dan praktik feminisme yang dilakukan informan merupakan wujud dari nilai-nilai feminisme eksistensialis Beauvoir, karena secara tidak langsung sudah dilakukan untuk menunjukkan eksistensi diri para anggota dengan cara bekerja, menolak subordinasi dan menjadi agen intelektual. Kata kunci: patriarki, feminisme, eksistensi diri, feminisme eksistensialis.

Full textAbstract:
Since fourth-wave feminism rose in the early 2010s, digital feminist activism has attracted increasing scholarly attention, bringing a new perspective to feminist research and practices. Drawing on the analytic framework of digital feminist activism, this paper primarily investigates how Chinese feminists use social media platforms, especially Weibo, to speak up, facilitate feminist awareness, and resist patriarchal oppression. Through analysis of two online activities in China since 2018, namely the #MeToo movement and the protest the Korean deepfake crisis, this paper closely studies media discourses of Chinese Internet users in support of feminism. The main objective is to highlight how Chinese feminists challenge deeply ingrained patriarchal values and contribute to the development of feminism under China’s online censorship and restrictions. Ultimately, this research sheds light on the role of Chinese feminists in online activities and their efforts to promote the values of feminism.

Full textAbstract:
In the 1960s and 1970s, second-wave feminism promoted important feminist publishing platforms, especially in North American and European countries. After the dictatorship of Francisco Franco (1939-1975), the need to seek foreign ideological mothers led to the emergence of the first feminist series and journals in Spain. In Barcelona, in 1976, the journal Vindicación Feminista(1976-1979) was born, giving voice to many international feminist authors and their publications. A year later, in 1977, inMadrid, the publishing house Debate produced the series Tribuna Feminista(1977-1982). In 1978, in Barcelona, the first Spanish feminist publishing house, LaSal. Edicions de les Dones (1978-1990), was founded. In this article, three post-Francoist feminist publishing projects based on “solidarities” arepresented. All of them were “agents of cultural translation” that shared a main objective: to normalize Iberian feminism by introducing new literary movements, works and authors for theoretical discussion after the National-Catholic-patriarchal regimeof Francoism. The arrival of feminist literature through practices of “solidary cultural translation” was crucial to the social transformations at the time.

Abstract Studies note that feminism promotes women's and girls’ empowerment, and online feminist activity has become a central area of feminist socialization because of its growing popularity. In this study, we explore the lived experiences of Israeli girls aged 16 to 19 who self-identified as feminists and focus on their encounters on an online feminist intra-generational platform. Drawing on these interviews, we discuss the role that social media played in their feminist development. We highlight two contradictory experiences in that while the girls describe their online activities as empowering, they also had to navigate the disciplining practices and power relations on these feminist platforms.

Full textAbstract:
This research analyzes feminist success in post-feminist discourse related to neoliberalism in the Hollywood film industry through The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. This research aims to reveal how Evelyn's actions within the neoliberalism framework criticize the discourse of post-feminism. Postfeminism emerged as a response to feminism, suggesting that women can embrace traditional feminine roles while still feeling empowered and in control, as post-feminism believes that feminism has largely achieved its goals. Angela McRobbie's post-feminism theory is used to analyze the novel because it identifies the form of neoliberal practice in post-feminism. The results show that the success of neoliberal feminists portrayed by Evelyn is false because the dominance of neoliberalism practices still idealizes a heterosexual matrix with seven marriages possible in the Hollywood industry. Women are capitalized as sexual objects for heterosexual audiences for neoliberal interests. Women must comply with these two things through the sexual contract by participating in the fashion beauty complex to survive in the work environment. The resulting impact is that women then repress their gender identity and discipline it to fit the industry's logic. This discourse is disseminated in the novel as a social discourse even though the author's critical position seeks to reject the application of heteronormativity in the novel and also the social practices of the Hollywood industry.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to offer novel insights into: knowledge of proto-feminism through description and analysis of the rule of the seventh century female Emperor Wu Zetian; postcolonial theory by revealing the existence and proto-feminist activities of a non-western female leader; and the literature on gender and invisibility through a study of a leading figure that is relatively unknown to western feminists and is even, in feminist terms, something of a neglected figure. Design/methodology/approach – In order to examine Wu’s proto-feminist practices as recorded in historical materials, we use critical hermeneutics as a tool for textual interpretation, through the following four stages: choosing texts from historical records and writings of Wu; analyzing the historical sociocultural context; analyzing the relationship between the text and the context; and offering a conceptual framework as a richer explanation. Findings – Wu’s life activities demonstrate proto-feminism in late seventh century China in at least four aspects: gender equality in sexuality, in social status, in politics, and women’s pursuit of power and leadership. Research limitations/implications – Future research may dig into the paradox of Wu’s proto-feminist practices, the relationship between organizational power and feminism/proto-feminism, and the ways in which Wu’s activities differ from other powerful women across cultures, etc. Practical implications – The study encourages a rethink of women and leadership style in non-western thought. Social implications – The study supports Calás and Smircich’s 2005 call for greater understanding of feminist thought outside of western thought and a move to transglobal feminism. Originality/value – This study recovers long lost stories of women leadership that are “invisible” in many ways in the historical narratives, and contributes to postcolonial feminism by revealing the existence of indigenous proto-feminist practice in China long before western-based feminism and postcolonial feminism emerged.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This article proposes the possibilities of fermentation, or microbial transformation, as a material practice and speculative metaphor through which to approach today’s transnational feminisms. The author approaches this from the perspective of their multiyear curatorial experiment Fermenting Feminism, looking to multidisciplinary practices across the arts that bring together fermentation and feminism in dynamic ways. The article outlines ten ways in which fermentation is a ripe framework for approaching transinclusive, antiracist, countercolonial feminisms. As the author takes up these points, drawing from scholarly and artistic references alongside lived experience, they theorize the ways fermentation taps into the fizzy currents within critical and creative feminist practices. With its explosive, multisensory, and multispecies resonances fermentation becomes a provocation for contemporary transnational feminisms. Is feminism, with its etymological roots in the feminine, something worth preserving? In what ways might it be preserved, and in what ways might it be transformed? The author proposes that fermentation is a generative metaphor, a material practice, and a microbiological process through which feminisms might be reenergized—through symbiotic cultures of feminisms, fermentation prompts fizzy change with the simultaneity of preservation and transformation, futurity and decay.

Full textAbstract:
Although feminist supervision approaches have been advanced in the literature as alternatives or adjuncts to traditional supervision models, little is known about those who utilize feminist supervision practices. This study was designed to examine if feminist supervision practices were related to one’s own feminist identity and various beliefs regarding feminism in general in a sample of 135 clinical supervisors. Results revealed that feminist supervision was significantly negatively correlated with passive acceptance of traditional gender roles and positively correlated with feelings of anger over sexism, connection with women’s communities, commitment to feminist activism, and beliefs that are consistent with five prominent feminist philosophies. Multiple regression analysis found that greater use of feminist supervision practices was uniquely related to being a woman; being lesbian, gay, or bisexual; and having a greater commitment to feminist activism. Research and practice implications are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, possibility of establishing feminist solidarity, sustained and based on feminist politics in Turkey is examined. Commonality discourse, the notion of sisterhood and identity politics, creating illusionary homogeneity are criticized of being exclusionary and limiting. Contemporary accounts of feminist solidarity are investigated in order to find a way out for establishing solidarity across difference. However, it is seen that these contemporary approaches are far from designating a driving force to stimulate feminists / activists to come together. It is argued that in order to achieve feminist solidarity respecting differences is a must. It is also argued that solidarity has to become a powerful relation among feminists and to do so internalized inequalities and power holding within activism has to be interrogated. Consciousness raising among activists is offered as a means to overcome challenges to activism and barriers to solidarity. Furthermore it is argued that feminism has to
become the motto of activism and feminist politics as the basis for establishing feminist solidarity.

Teaching & Learning<br>Ed.D.<br>In this study, I explore how EFL teachers in Japan become feminists, what feminism means to them, and how their feminist identities affect their teaching beliefs and practices. In relation to their feminist identities, I also examine what teaching beliefs they hold, how their teaching beliefs are applied to their teaching practices, and how they teach in their actual language classrooms. This study enabled me to understand more deeply what is going on in feminist EFL classrooms. To explore the research questions posed above, I employed poststructural feminist pedagogical theory as my conceptual framework and narrative inquiry as my primary methodological tool. I recruited nine self-identified feminist EFL university teachers in Japan as participants (four Japanese, five non-Japanese). The in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and teaching journals comprised the primary data. I analyzed all of the data and described their feminist teacher identities, teaching beliefs, and teaching practices. I found that even though each participant took a different path in becoming a feminist EFL teacher in Japan, the concept of gender equality and justice was shared by my participants. They believed that it was important to teach about gender-related topics in the EFL classroom or incorporate gender issues into the lessons. Even though some did not teach about gender topics in a straightforward way, they taught English according to feminist principles. A question arises as to what distinguishes feminist teaching and good teaching. What distinguishes them is whether feminist teachers are consciously aware of what they are doing and why. I also found that among some of my participants, their stated beliefs and actual teaching practices were not in synchrony because personal and contextual factors. From a poststructural feminist view, I analyzed compatibility and incompatibility among feminist teacher identities, beliefs, and practices. Through this process, I realized the importance of redefining feminist pedagogy in TESOL and defining it in TEFL in Japan. I hope my dissertation helps expand the knowledge of feminist pedagogy in TESOL and encourages both ESL/EFL teachers and feminist ESL/EFL teachers to practice feminist teaching in their classes.<br>Temple University--Theses

Full textAbstract:
This research study investigates self-identified feminist social workers??? conceptualizations of spirituality, how spirituality influences their practices, and their ideas about the effects of spiritually influenced practice. There is increasing interest in exploring and considering spirituality across social work approaches, accompanied by a strong demand for empirical research and the development of knowledge in this area. The past few years in particular have witnessed an expanding social work literature that discusses the incorporation of spirituality into practice. In this thesis spirituality refers to a complex construct that can be deeply personal and/or communal, and that can encompass a sense of connection with something bigger that transcends ordinary life experience. In order to examine spirituality in the context of feminist social work practice, the goals of this study needed to be exploratory and demanded the use of a qualitative methodology. In-depth individual interviews were conducted with twenty experienced direct practice social workers. Grounded theory analysis of the interview data uncovered surprising and significant convergences amongst research participants??? beliefs, values and practices. These unexpected commonalities invited a further analysis of the data that produced a set of practice principles. These practice principles reflected the participants??? understandings of spirituality and basic values, their ideas about processes of spiritual development and beliefs about the spiritual essence of human life, and their spiritually influenced practice methods and relationships. The process of developing practice principles included further data collection through the written feedback of participants and the use of three focus groups. This second round of data collection and analysis extended and refined the practice principles. The practice principles are particularly relevant for social work because they are based in the participants??? collective practice wisdom and represent an important step towards helping to legitimize spiritual knowledge. The practice principles also have important implications for social work practice, education and research in that they can promote discussions about spirituality, guide practice, provide a base for the future development of spiritually influenced models and frameworks, and direct curriculum development.

Full textAbstract:
This project documents my efforts to publish STS- and gender theory-informed articles in engineering education journals. It analyzes the processes of writing and revising three articles submitted to three different journals, aiming to shed light on the field of engineering education, gender research therein, and contribute to feminist science studies literature on the challenges and opportunities of interdisciplinary work across women's studies and STEM fields. Building upon Wenger's concept of brokering, I analyze how I brought previously underexplored STS and feminist theory literature into engineering education journals. In producing this dissertation, I aim to illuminate some of the efforts and challenges of bringing STS and Women's Studies (WS) topics into engineering education journals – thus producing an account of brokering practices and an example of scalable scholarship.
The first chapter introduces engineering education research (EER) as a field of inquiry, situates my project with respect to current feminist science studies, summarizes the framework of brokering that informs my analyses, and describes my methodology. The second chapter describes my initial attempts at brokering by identifying and bridging differences and the preliminary brokering practices that emerged through writing and revising the first of my three articles. It discusses an article published in Journal of Engineering Education that analyzes the uses of feminist theory in EER and argues that further engagement with a broader range of feminist theories could benefit EER. The third chapter describes how some of these practices were reinforced, but also supplemented, while writing and revising the second article. It discusses an article published in International Journal of Engineering Education that analyzes problematizations of underrepresentation in EER and argues that further reflection upon and formal discussion of how underrepresentation is framed could benefit EER. The forth chapter describes how the established brokering practices guided writing the third article, making the process easier as I had become more comfortable with the requirements and challenges of brokering. It discusses an article submitted to European Journal of Engineering Education that analyzes feminist research methodologies in the context of EER, using data from interviews with feminist engineering educators. The fifth chapter concludes by summarizing the brokering practices and discussing their respective challenges, discussing the implications of this project for STS and WS, and, finally, by discussing other implications for peer review engineering education. The Appendix contains aims, scope, author guidelines, and review criteria for the three journals.
Chapters 2, 3, and 4 each begin with a narrative recounting of the practices of brokering that went into producing and revising each article. The narratives describe processes of writing and preparing to submit the articles, reviews received, and subsequent revision processes. The published or submitted articles appear after the brokering narrative.<br>Ph. D.

Full textAbstract:
Researches done on social movements and media are often conducted at a micro-level, focusing on the individual activity (Klandermans 1997), or the macro level, excluding the meso level, linking the two first levels together. Furthermore, studies focusing on the relation between feminism as a social movement and media often neglect to identify the opportunities and the limitations of such an intersection. The aim of this research is to increase knowledge in this gap, offering a comprehensive conceptual framework that focuses on the three levels of interaction between media and feminist activism. Attention will also be paid to the intersection between offline and online as it ‘helps us question the bias towards online and always connected forms of activism’ . (Fotopoulou 2014) The research questions of this thesis are: How women in Great-Britain perceive the limitations and opportunities in media, to connect with the feminist movement? And How can we understand these experiences through the role of ICT linked to macro-processes such as mediatization?The findings are that the relatively new online platforms and media practices of digital and networked media are changing the landscape of how feminist activists think and fight for gender equality. They both carry the opportunities and the limitations of such a relation. Indeed, the assumption that social network and online media are a central in women’s organization is correct, however, they are not the only way of doing so and they should remain complementary. The concept of ‘digital sisterhood’ helps us to understand that complex balance and it allows us to question the different levels of activism that are being reconsidered.

Gausden, Caroline. "Social art practices as feminist manifestos : radical hospitality in the archive." Thesis, Robert Gordon University, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/10059/2442.
Full textAbstract:
The research presents a practice-based examination of the politics and poetics of the manifesto form, drawing on feminist theoretical writing and activism alongside contemporary iterations of socially engaged art. It offers feminist manifestos as a lens through which to reconsider the form and intentions of socially engaged art, which is reframed in the light of these feminist insights as social art practice (Ross, 2000). To draw feminism alongside social art practice the research occupies the metaphorical territory of the manifesto in order to open up a dialogue with, and directly experience, unfolding forms of social art practice. The thesis is structured in the form of an archive, consisting of three distinct but interrelated concepts – the manifesto, hospitality and archives. This structure sets out to highlight the relational and political nature of archives suggesting their potential to be reimagined as manifesto forms. In addition the structure reveals how both manifesto and archive function as explicit, politically radical forms of hospitality. These topics are discretely contained in physical form within three archival boxes, one for each concept, and in an online audio archive ‘giving voice’ to each of the concepts. Taken as a whole the thesis articulates a missing feminist history within current critical discourse around social art practice - despite the early presence of important feminist artists like Lacy and Ukeles. This research explores the implications of this absence, seeking to acknowledge the effects it could have not only on feminism as a political and intellectual practice but on the criticality and depth of social art practice. It is possible to encounter the archive as a cartography that can be laid out, navigated and read in any order. This movement between forms of knowledge mirrors the subjects it approaches which are conceived as interstitial forms, negotiating multiple perspectives to produce active subjectivity. Each section juxtaposes knowledge about practice, engaging with history to search for precedents, and knowledge with practice as a generative method, curating events and producing written contributions. Moving between these two methodologies the research sets out to find an appropriate voice to articulate the complexities of social art practice and its feminist histories.

Full textAbstract:
Appeals to practices are common the humanities and social sciences. They hold the potential to explain interesting or compelling similarities, insofar as similarities are distributed within a community or group. Why is it that people who fall under the same category, whether men, women, Americans, baseball players, Buddhists, feminists, white people, or others, have interesting similarities, such as similar beliefs, actions, thoughts, foibles, and failings? One attractive answer is that they engage in the same practices. They do the same things, perhaps as a result of doing things at the same site or setting, or perhaps as a result of being raised in a similar way among members of the same group. In the humanities, appeals to practices often serve as a move to point out diversity among different communities or diversity within the same community. Communities are distinct from one another in part because their members do different things or do things in different ways. The distinct and varied ways in which different communities enact social norms or formulate law, state institutions, and public policy might be explicable in part by the different practices their members are socialized into. Appeals to practices hold the promise of explaining these differences in terms of the different background practices of the groups, cultivated through a kind of cultural isolation or sense of collective identity. In the social sciences, appeals to practices have played a central role in fundamental theorizing and theory building. Appeals to practices in the social sciences are often much more systematic and theoretical, forming the core of the systematic theories of Pierre Bourdieu and Anthony Giddens in Anthropology and Sociology. Practice theory has thus become a growth industry in social scientific investigation, offering the promise of a central object of investigation that explains both unity and difference within and across communities and groups. But it is unclear just what practices are and what role, both ontological and explanatory, that practices are supposed to play. The term `practices' is used to pick out a wide range of things, and its relation to other terms, from `tradition' or `paradigm' to `framework' or `presupposition', is unclear. Practices are posited as ubiquitous, yet they are difficult to isolate and pin down. We are all said to participate in them, but they remain hidden. Their role, whether causal, logical, or hermeneutical, remains mysterious. After locating the historical origins of appeals to practices in the work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Martin Heidegger, my dissertation uses Stephen Turner's broad and systematic critique of appeals to practices to develop a new type of account. My account is a phenomenological account that treats practices as human doings that show up to people in material and social environments and make themselves available for specific responses in those environments. I argue that a phenomenological account is an effective alternative to accounts that treat practices as either shared objects with properties or shared and implicit presuppositions. I use a phenomenological account of practices to treat important debates in feminist philosophy and the philosophy of the social sciences, particularly debates over pornography's subordination of women and the classification of mental disorders in psychiatry.

Full textAbstract:
In this reflection piece, I look at the feminist artistic landscape emerging in Berlin with its growing, diverse migrant community. I examine the ways in which women* artists challenge the imposed notions of their migrant status in the city and their states of belonging within it. I demonstrate this through two feminist initiatives I have been involved in that aim to amplify the voices of women* artists whose creative practices disrupt carefully constructed frameworks relating to borders of inclusion and exclusion. I argue that the artistic practices of women* in these networks are killjoy because they unapologetically get in the way, dismantling carefully constructed frameworks that delineate borders of inclusion and exclusion. By reflecting on homemaking practices in exile, I exemplify how feminisms from the global south decentralize claims to truth by taking the means of production into their own hands. By framing the chapter around the recent protests in Berlin unfolding in solidarity with the feminist revolution in Iran, I reveal the possible limits of such actions when they do not embrace intersectionality. Ultimately, I propose to invest in feminist artistic practices that destabilize exclusionary politics by creating visibility and bridging theory and practice.

Full textAbstract:
The multisectoral approach of Feminist Urbanism has managed to promote new forms of intervention in the design and management of the city, deploying numerous Good Practices in various territories. Under this premise, this work proposes a comparative analysis of three cases of urban projects for the popular habitat in Chile and Argentina: the Intercultural Neighborhood "Community of change", (2011 - 2016) in San Martín de los Andes; the “Alto Comedero” Neighborhood (2003 - 2014) in San Salvador de Jujuy, and the “Maestranza” Neighborhood (2020 - 2022) in Central Station, Santiago de Chile. The diagnosis of the roles played by the people involved, the urban and building typologies carried out, and the forms of organization used, aimed at verifying the degree of associativity of each case with respect to the theoretical ideas of Feminism within the urban discipline. We worked from the individual signing of each case through 6 key categories (Context, Objective, Actors, Strategy, Impact, and Traits of Feminist Urbanism in the case). Keywords: Feminist Urbanism, popular habitat, urban project, Argentina, Chile. El abordaje multisectorial del Urbanismo feminista ha logrado impulsar nuevas formas de para la intervención en el diseño y gestión de la ciudad, desplegando numerosas Buenas Prácticas en diversos territorios. Bajo esa premisa, este trabajo propone un análisis comparado de tres casos de proyectos urbanos para el hábitat popular en Chile y Argentina: el Barrio Intercultural “Comunidad de cambio”, (2011 - 2016) en San Martín de los Andes; el Barrio “Alto comedero” (2003 - 2014) en San salvador de Jujuy, y el Barrio “Maestranza” (2020 - 2022) en Estación central, Santiago de Chile. El diagnóstico de los roles desplegados por las personas involucradas, las tipologías urbanísticas y edilicias realizadas, y las formas de organización utilizadas, apuntó a verificar el grado de asociatividad de cada caso respecto a las ideas teóricas del Feminismo dentro de la disciplina urbanística. Se trabajó a partir del fichaje individual de cada caso a través de 6 categorías clave (Contexto, Objetivo, Actores, Estrategia, Impacto, y Rasgos de Urbanismo Feminista en el caso).

Full textAbstract:
What happens when independent women designers form a collective practice rooted in co-creation rather than singular authorship? How could feminist values inform and inspire a shared design approach? Which professional conventions should be unlearned in order to foster more mutually supportive spatial practices? The history of feminist practice in architecture offers more than a century of women-led collective initiatives. But their marginalization has prevented feminist values from being normalized in the profession and the built environment at large. Still today, women-led collaborative practices are considered novel. WIP: Work In Progress | Women In Practice is feminist design collective composed of two entities: a supportive community of women design professionals and a collaborative practice shared between individual members. WIP is a work in progress, subject to adaptation by and for its participants. Within the shared practice, WIP Collaborative, team structure and work methods are adjusted to the needs of specific projects, including scope, community and stakeholders, and the interests of WIP members involved. To date WIP has completed a range of projects and events in the public realm that foreground embodied experiences, equity, access, and inclusivity, including public space installations, community focused design research, and collective happenings. Learning from other feminist practices and workers cooperatives past and present, WIP Collaborative is democratically organized so that all participants contribute to its trajectory and creative process. WIP’s projects reimagine public environments by challenging, expanding, and transforming their norms. They explore issues of embodiment – physical, sensory, and emotional experiences of the body – and create environments of choice that support the spatial and experiential preferences of a diverse population. By embracing a plurality of human needs and a co-creative design approach, WIP operates outside the norms of conventional design practice in pursuit of a more vibrant shared future.

Full textAbstract:
El objetivo de esta comunicación es presentar algunas prácticas feministas que han hecho uso de las tecnologías en los museos de México, así como reflexionar en torno a la soberanía digital, los derechos culturales que se ejercen en las redes sociales y si estos se inscriben en la “internet feminista” desde los museos.En los últimos años, los movimientos feministas en México han tomado relevancia política, en ámbitos públicos y de intervención social. Muchas de ellas, han sido juzgadas negativamente por hacer uso de bienes culturales, lo cual ha desencadenado opiniones polarizadas.Si bien, la postura de los museos mexicanos a este respecto es reservada, existe una apertura a prácticas con perspectiva de género, desde sus investigaciones, oferta cultural y exposiciones temporales. Con las medidas de confinamiento derivadas del COVID-19, quedó claro que las estrategias de los museos para continuar sus actividades, se centraron y volcaron en las Redes Sociales y sus páginas web. Asimismo, se lograron continuar no solo con las prácticas con perspectiva de género que incipientemente se realizaban en estos espacios, si no que se incrementaron los contenidos de corte feminista y de acción política cultural.Entre los ejemplos más notables estuvieron la apertura de nuevos espacios virtuales como lo hizo el Museo Universitario de Arte Contemporáneo, con su Instagram Brillantinas MUAC, en donde se publican diversos materiales feministas desde la cultura y se ínsita al diálogo y la profundización de varios temas con perspectiva de género.Por otro lado, la actividad digital y cultural a raíz de la Conmemoración del Día Internacional para la Eliminación de las Violencias contra las Mujeres, fue adoptada por una gran cantidad de museos desde privados hasta estatales, ya sea con una mención al tema o una actividad o serie de actividades al respecto. Fue un ejercicio que trascendió a los 10 días de activismo y que obtuvo una interesante respuesta tanto negativa como positiva dentro de los públicos.Finalmente, uno de los ejercicios más interesantes que se lograron a pesar de las dificultades por la situación sanitaria, fue la iniciativa “Laboratoria: Mujeres en el Museo” lanzada por el Observatorio Raquel Padilla del Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, que por medio de diversas herramientas digitales, se pudo llevar a cabo un ejercicio feminista y de soberanía digital en la elaboración de prototipos con perspectiva de género y para la prevención de las violencias contra las mujeres.-------- The objective of this communication is to present some feminist practices that have made use of technologies in museums in Mexico, as well as to reflect on digital sovereignty, the cultural rights that are exercised in social networks and if they are registered in the "Feminist internet" from museums.In recent years, feminist movements in Mexico have taken on political relevance, in public spheres and social intervention. Many of them have been judged negatively for making use of cultural property, which has triggered polarized opinions.Although the position of Mexican museums in this regard is reserved, there is an openness to practices with a gender perspective, from their research, cultural offerings and temporary exhibitions. With the confinement measures derived from COVID-19, it was clear that the museums' strategies to continue their activities were focused and turned over to Social Networks and their web pages. Likewise, it was possible to continue not only with the practices with a gender perspective that were incipiently carried out in these spaces, but also the contents of a feminist nature and of cultural political action were increased.Among the most notable examples were the opening of new virtual spaces such as the University Museum of Contemporary Art, with its Instagram Brillantinas MUAC, where various feminist materials from culture are published and the dialogue and the deepening of various issues are encouraged. gender perspective.On the other hand, the digital and cultural activity as a result of the Commemoration of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, was adopted by a large number of museums from private to state, either with a mention of the subject or an activity or series of activities in this regard. It was an exercise that transcended 10 days of activism and that obtained an interesting negative and positive response from the public.Finally, one of the most interesting exercises that were achieved despite the difficulties due to the health situation, was the initiative "Laboratory: Women in the Museum" launched by the Raquel Padilla Observatory of the National Institute of Anthropology and History, which through various digital tools, it was possible to carry out a feminist exercise and digital sovereignty in the development of prototypes with a gender perspective and for the prevention of violence against women.

This paper explores the potential of feminist experience design practice to design for the LGBTQ+ community by focusing on YES! Fest. YES! Fest, a pride festival forged in Canberra, so-called Australia, in response to the Australian postal vote on same-sex marriage in 2017. Australia has a long tradition of pride events, in larger cities, the most well-known is the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, which started in 1978 and hosted World Pride in 2023. Yes! Fest was a unique contribution to Australian pride celebrations, as the experience designer of the festival used trauma-informed and feminist practices to party in response to a political cause. This paper explores the ways YES! Fest designed a feminist LGBTQ+ festival for allies in partnership with businesses, government departments and the community.

Full textAbstract:
The Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam, the Dutch museum for architecture, design, and digital cultures holding the National Collection of Dutch Architecture and Urban Planning, is implementing different initiatives to bring overlooked actors and forgotten stories into the discussion. The aim is to examine the role that archives play in the construction of the history of cities and their inhabitants, as well as to contest institutional memory and the dominant historiography. Since 2020, the project Collecting Otherwise seeks to disclose, create proximity to, and enlarge the understanding of the relevance and intersections of the National Collection of Architecture and Urban Planning regarding contemporary societal urgencies. In this collaborative process, the Nieuwe Instituut collaborates with a wide array of external researchers, among whom the co-authors of this paper throughout the project Cherchez la femme! (2021-2023) This contribution maps these interlinked activities to further investigate how these experiences, situated around unacknowledged agents, have transformed the institutional procedures of archiving, collecting, and curating. During this process of preserving, creating, and transferring knowledge, certain collection choices have been made, and new heritage practices have been developed. This paper elaborates on the consequences of these choices from the different positions required in the archival process: curator, researcher, activist, and donor. Rather than understanding heritage as a neutral and objective legacy, this approach goes beyond the archival process itself, presenting new forms of collecting, producing, and transferring knowledge during, meanwhile and after the process of archival collection starts.

Full textAbstract:
Bringing a feminist intent to research, monitoring and evaluation practices leads to defining these as tools to contribute to transforming the lives of women, girls and non-binary people, and to bringing about social justice. This has meant putting gender and power at the centre of our practice, which has in turn shaped the technical choices made specifically in quantitative impact evaluations. This paper focuses on describing how these technical choices, as well as ethical considerations, are changed by this feminist intent. The paper also presents the lessons learned and questions raised along the way, which may be useful for MEAL and research practitioners, as well as programme managers. How can we bring intersectionality to the fore? What does it mean to go beyond the gender binary? How can this work be transformative?

Full textAbstract:
This case study traces the journey of Youth for Unity and Voluntary Action (YUVA), an NGO which was co-founded in Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay) in 1984 by a young graduate Minar Pimple along with a group of his lecturers and peers from the Nirmala Niketan College of Social Work, together looking to evolve an indigenous model of social work practice. To say that times have changed in India since YUVA’s inception 38 years ago would be an understatement. Despite this, the organization’s spirit continues to echo its founding purpose and values, and provide a space in which the most marginalised of young and like-minded people can come together, understand their rights and responsibilities as citizens, and work together towards shared ideals. Even today, the majority of the people who work with YUVA (meaning “youth”) come from marginalised backgrounds. Such talent composition is not the norm, even in civil society. Seeded with feminist ideals—in particular that of nurturing a careful and life-long sensitivity for the socio-politically marginalised, and standing by them in their strive for social justice—YUVA’s historical record is a statement of how a steadfast commitment to principles can eventually find home in a settled and satisfying practice. This case study lays out both what that historical record speaks and what it speaks between the lines. What the record directly speaks of is the radical milieu in which YUVA came into being, how it became a significant civil society presence in its own right, how it multiplied new initiatives, and how it underwent a difficult leadership transition and financial stresses, yet strived hard to remain relevant. Between the lines, the record hints at how an alert, attuned and active academic milieu constitutes a real treasure—a reminder that perhaps seems appropriate for the times; and narrates the story of how a feminist organization deeply committed to social justice operates from the inside, of the people who make it and how they make and remake it. organizations of this nature have an important place in the annals of Indian civil society but have not received a proportionate space within the documented field of organizational development and talent management. This case study provides an opportunity for learners to explore the idea, relevance and practices of a feminist organization, through the travails and triumphs of one of the oldest ones in India.

Bringing an Equity-Centered Framework to Research: Transforming the Researcher, Research Content, and Practice of Research. RTI Press, January 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.3768/rtipress.2023.op.0085.2301.
Full textAbstract:
Since the mainstream racial awakening to pervasive and entrenched structural racism, many organizations have made commitments and adopted practices to increase workplace diversity, inclusion, and equity and embed these commitments in their organizational missions. A question often arises about how these concepts apply to research. This paper discusses how organizations can build on their specific commitments to diversity, inclusion, and equity by applying these principles in the research enterprise. RTI International’s framework for conducting equity-centered transformative research highlights how incorporating principles of diversity, inclusion, and equity requires a departure from mainstream practice because of historical and intentional exclusion of these principles. Drawing on methodologies of culturally responsive evaluation, research, and pedagogy; feminist, Indigenous, and critical methodologies; community-based participatory research; and theories of social transformation, liberation, and racial justice, this organizing framework illustrates what this departure requires and how research can serve liberation and social justice by transforming the researcher, the research content, and the day-to-day practice of conducting research. Centering the work of seminal scholars and practitioners of color in the field, this paper provides a holistic framework that incorporates various research approaches and paradigms intended to shift power to minoritized and marginalized communities to achieve social transformation through research.

Full textAbstract:
A relatively small number of countries have an explicit “Feminist Foreign Policy” (FFP). Those most often cited are Sweden, Canada, France, Mexico, and Spain. In theory, an FFP moves beyond gender mainstreaming in foreign development assistance to include: (1) a wider range of external actions, including defence, trade and diplomacy (2) a wider range of marginalised people, not just women. Within foreign development assistance, it implies a more coherent and systematically institutionalised approach to gender mainstreaming. In practice, those countries with an explicit FFP implement it in different ways. Canada currently focuses on development assistance, France on development assistance and formal diplomacy, Sweden more comprehensively covers the trade and defence policy arenas. Mexico and Spain are yet to produce detailed implementation plans. There is increasing academic interest in FFP, but most analyses found during the course of this rapid review focus on narrative content of policies rather than impact. Policy advocacy and advice is provided by several high-profile advocacy organisations. National government agencies in Sweden, France and Canada have produced some evaluations of their FFP, but the evidence is weak. There are many international institution evaluations of gender mainstreaming for many different sectors that are context-specific.

Full textAbstract:
This SLH Learning Paper provides practical guidance for the WASH sector on meeting the additional needs of women going through the (peri)menopause, a phase of life rarely spoken about. The paper outlines what the perimenopause and menopause are, and how the WASH sector can use feminist and participatory methods to engage with this taboo topic. It draws on data from Ghana and the UK to illustrate (peri)menopausal women’s hidden water needs for bathing, laundry and drinking, and sanitation and hygiene needs to support menstrual health and hygiene, and incontinence management. The paper provides practical tips for WASH practitioners to adapt existing programmes to integrate the (peri)menopause, outlining actions for programme start up and design, and programming activities which need to be undertaken.

Held between May and June 2022, the two-part ‘Futures of Gender and Global Health 2030” workshop was UNU-IIGH's first foray into integrating a decolonial feminist lens to futures and foresight. Organised as part of a series of ‘Changemakers’ workshops with youth-led feminist activists based in Kenya and South Africa and supported by the Ford Foundation, the workshop’s primary aim was to explore the practical uses of a futures lens and foresight methodologies for feminist activists working at the intersection of gender and health. Dr Geci Karuri-Sebina, founding director of the Southern African Node of the Millennium Project and its ForesightForDevelopment.org project, worked with the UNU-IIGH team to design and facilitate a workshop that situated foresight within the contextual realities of the participants.

Equality Works: The Global Health 50/50 Report 2019. Global Health 50/50, March 2019. http://dx.doi.org/10.56649/lvpj2240.
Full textAbstract:
The Global Health 50/50 2019 report focuses on gender equality in the workplace, reviewing policies, programmes, and indicators of power and privilege across 198 organisations. The 2019 Report provides an in-depth look at gender equality within the workplace across four dimensions: commitment, evidence-informed policy content, equitable outcomes in power and pay, and gender-responsive programming. By focusing its 2019 Report on gender in the workplace, Global Health 50/50 (GH5050) seeks to equip organisations and individuals with the data and tools to review and strengthen their own policies by providing a snapshot of organisational performance and contributing to a community of best practice. Global Health 50/50 believes that more feminist, diverse and inclusive leadership is imperative for achieving policies and programmes that realise the health, rights and equality of career opportunities for everyone. By sharing these findings, we hope to contribute to a more gender-equal global health sector that works for everyone.
