Dear colleagues, friends and fellow feminists

As many of you know, I have been working on this project for quite a while and with an amazing group of people – finally, the website “The many futures of gender. Oral histories of feminist theory” has just gone online now.

“The many futures of gender” sets up a space for dialogue and reflection with some of the feminist thinkers whose path-breaking work has helped create and shape gender studies in the past decades. It opens up conversations about their foundational work and what drove them to write it at the time. Who were they in conversation with? What were the specific historical and cultural circumstances to which their writing reacted and into which it intervened? Who helped them develop their thoughts, and in which ways can they be seen as the result of collective efforts? How was their work received, and what routes did it take afterwards? What do they see critically from hindsight, and how do they see the futures of feminist theory and gender studies? The protagonists are feminist thinkers from different parts of the academic world and diverse disciplinary backgrounds, such as history, philosophy, anthropology, sociology, life sciences, political sciences, environment and ecology, and science and technology studies, among others.

The project is rooted in oral history, philosophical exchange, and feminist traditions of collective thinking. For the creation of this growing archive, we conduct extensive interviews online or in-person. Together with the scholars, the interview transcripts are reworked, complemented, and clarified until everyone agrees on a final version. The written conversation is supplemented with short clips of the audio or video recording and historical photo material. Finally, the interview is made available as a PDF on our project website. It can be downloaded, used, and cited for research, education, or activist purposes.

The oral history of feminist theory website launches with five first interviews with Linda Martín Alcoff, Joan Wallach Scott, Donna J. Haraway, Margo Okazawa-Rey, and Ann Laura Stoler. A second group of interviews with Anne Fausto-Sterling, Londa Schiebinger, Vandana Shiva and Chandra T. Mohanty will be uploaded soon. After that, new interviews will be added gradually.

Check out the website here:

(And do spread the word about this new archive of feminist theory…)

Warm greetings,

Patricia
