Feminist Politics in Feminist security studies
Politics & Gender, 2011Co-Authors: Annick T R WibbenAbstract:Feminist Security Studies (FSS) is quickly becoming a recognized area of research. Recent articles in Security Studies (Sjoberg 2009) and International Security (Hudson et al. 2008/9) specifically address the contributions of FSS to the field of security studies, a network of scholars working in FSS is regularly represented at the Annual Convention of the International Studies Association, and the terminology has been used in many recent publications (e.g. Hansen 2009; Shepherd 2010; Sjoberg and Martin 2010; Wibben 2009, 2011). Given the proliferation of Feminist security scholarship, which is based on a variety of feminisms, Feminist scholars should begin to debate the content and scope of their research. Not only is there now enough material to do so, but there also are some real differences in Feminist scholarship—and these differences matter.

sexual violence in iraq challenges for transnational Feminist Politics
European Journal of Women's Studies, 2018Co-Authors: Nadje AlaliAbstract:The article discusses sexual violence by ISIS against women in Iraq, particularly Yezidi women, against the historical background of broader sexual and gender-based violence. It intervenes in Feminist debates about how to approach and analyse sexual and wider gender-based violence in Iraq specifically and the Middle East more generally. Recognizing the significance of positionality, the article argues against dichotomous positions and for the need to look at both macrostructural configurations of power pertaining to imperialism, neoliberalism and globalization on the one hand, and localized expressions of patriarchy, religious interpretations and practices and cultural norms on the other hand. Finally, the article reflects on the question of what a transnational Feminist solidarity might look like in relation to sexual violence by ISIS.

gender myths and Feminist fables the struggle for interpretive power in gender and development
Development and Change, 2007Co-Authors: Andrea Cornwall, Elizabeth Harrison, Ann WhiteheadAbstract:Gender and development has grown enormously as a field over the last thirty years. In this introduction, we interrogate the ambivalence that underpins Feminist engagement with development and examine what current dilemmas may suggest about the relationship between Feminist knowledge and development practice. In recent years, there has been growing frustration with the simplistic slogans that have come to characterize much gender and development talk, and with the gap between professed intention and actual practice in policies and programmes. Questions are now being asked about what has become of ‘gender’ in development. This collection brings together critical reflections on some ideas about gender that have become especially resonant in development narratives, particularly those that entail popularization and the deployment of iconic images of women. This introduction explores more closely the issues raised by such myth-making, arguing that these myths stem from exigencies within the Politics and practices of development bureaucracies, within the difficult Politics of Feminist engagement with development policy and practice and within Feminist Politics itself.

virtual feminisms girls blogging communities Feminist activism and participatory Politics
Information Communication & Society, 2012Co-Authors: Jessalynn KellerAbstract:While Feminist media scholars have recognized the growing importance of Feminist blogs, such as Jezebel, Racialicious, and Feministe, to contemporary feminism, the contribution of girls to this Feminist blogosphere remains understudied. In this paper, the author addresses this research gap by investigating the complex and diverse ways that girls are using blogging communities to participate in a Feminist political activism that reflects their needs as contemporary young Feminists within a neoliberal cultural context. This analysis draws upon two case studies of popular blogs by teenage Feminists, and interviews that were conducted with four girl bloggers who participated in these two communities. The author argues that through the practice of blogging, teenage girls are actively reframing what it means to participate in Feminist Politics, drawing on opportunities that the Internet provides to embrace new understandings of community, activism, and even feminism itself.
