I had a great time at the Peace History Society Conference this weekend! Thrilled to have presented my research on Dorothy Day and Judith Malina's anti-civil defense actions in the 50s and 60s!

CFP: What is the past, present, and future of feminist and queer archival practice? I am thrilled to be editing "The Archival is Political" for @IRWRutgers -- deadline for submissions is December 15, 2023. Please be in touch with any questions!

CFP The Archival is Political We invite interdisciplinary submissions that address the “archival turn” in feminist and queer studies. Submissions may include essays, commentary, criticism, fiction, poetry, and artwork from any discipline. We particularly welcome work that connects archival practice to activism, whether this be archival collections focused on activist history or archival collection as a political project for historical redress. Other topics may include digital archives, fictional archives, archival silences and violence, archival management, and information sciences. Together these contributions will reflect the contradictions of, and aspirations for, feminist and queer archives.
For manuscript preparation details, please see our website at: https://irw.rutgers.edu/about-rejoinder Please send completed written work (2,000-2,500 words max), jpegs of artwork, and short bios to irw@sas.rutgers.edu with “Rejoinder Submission” in the subject line by December 15, 2023.
