Activism and the Academy: The Multiple Futures of Gender and Sexuality Studies
Women’s and gender studies programs have been an integral part of the feminist movement for the past four decades. Over the years, the field has grown and expanded—and so has the proliferation of other disciplines devoted to the study of intersectionality, including queer studies, ethnic studies, and postcolonial studies. What are the challenges currently facing the fields of gender and sexuality studies? Panelists Kandice Chuh, Ann Pellegrini and Sarita See reflect on the history and futures of the field in this discussion moderated by Lisa Duggan. This panel took place on the first day of Activism and the Academy: Celebrating 40 Years of Feminist Scholarship and Action, a two-day conference held September 23-24, 2011 in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Barnard Center for Research on Women.
