Women's and Gender Studies

Hello H-SAWH! My name is Alexi Garrett, and I'm the new Higher Education Teaching Specialist editor for H-SAWH. It's nice to virtually "meet" you all! I'm finishing up my Ph.D. in early American history at the University of Virginia. I recently won UVA's All-Graduate Teaching Award, and I'm dedicated to the pedagogical components of our roles as educators and scholars. I love teaching undergrads, and I hope to learn more, and share more, about instruction in higher education with you all.

Due to ongoing concerns surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the upcoming 2021 Rural Women's Studies Association Triennial Conference, scheduled to be held at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, will now occur in a virtual format.

We are looking for participants for a panel on "Post-Mao Chinese feminisms as transnational feminisms" for the Annual Meeting of the Association of Asian Studies in Seattle, March 2021. While there has been a great deal of scholarly attention to the emphasis on bentuhua ("localization") and "global" influences on post-Mao feminisms and women's organizing, there has been far less attention to how that feminist organizing and theory has in turn contributed to the "transnational" turn in contemporary feminist theorizing.
