Read MoreNeurogenderings
Rebecca Jordan-Young, Giordana Grossi, and Gina Rippon
What happens when we approach the brain as a shared object of perplexity? What happens when neuroscientists take the time and effort to reflect upon the past, present, and future progress within their own field? What happens when the question of how to study sex and/or gender differences in the brain is opened up to interdisciplinary perspectives and is not treated as a given? What if dissensus in neuroscience research is seen as an opportunity to think about science, bodies, and technologies otherwise?

Read MoreQueer/Religion
Elizabeth Castelli
This issue of The Scholar and Feminist Online, edited by Elizabeth A. Castelli, brings together scholarship rooted in Queer Studies and Religious Studies, exploring the intersections of these areas of inquiry which are too-often constructed as entirely separate. The contributions to this volume are largely drawn from a BCRW-convening entitled “At the Intersection of Queer Studies and Religion,” held in November 2013. Together, these short essays contribute to a theoretical and empirical cartography for mapping the terrain at the intersections of queer studies and religion.
Read MoreTraversing Technologies
Patrick Keilty and Leslie Regan Shade
In “Traversing Technology,” scholars drawn primarily from the arts and humanities offer close readings of the multifaceted histories, consequences, potential adaptations and mutilations of scientific and technical productions. Uniting these diverse sites of inquiry is the necessity of movement in order to understand or act—the refusal of a god’s eye view frozen in one all seeing perspective. The authors refuse a physical/virtual division, as they map the monstrous meanings of suburban homes, dive into scatalogical biopolitical governmentalities, surface the long gendered pre-history of selfie culture, celebrate trans people of color’s poetic stitching of social wounds, trace the frequent construction of Asian Americans as racialized machines, link the prescient wisdom of the Combahee River Collective to the ways internet architecture imperils black lives, generate new opportunities to infect technology with viral feminist knowledges, and offer up the parasite as a model for our relationship to social networks.
