2/4: “We believe in #democratizing #law & #justice. How can a #community dialogue with an external agent in a way that is #understandable for both & that allows them to #determine their own futures?”

3/4: “Women whose lives are tied to the #environment are underrepresented. They bear the disproportionate burden of the #climatecrisis & yet are still expected to participate in #climatedialogues & #carework.”

1. Vor 10 Tagen habe ich hier gefragt, wie #Hochschulen in der #Coronakrise mit #Lehrverpflichtung umgehen. Ich wollte wissen, ob es Reduktionen oder andere Erleichterungen gab & wenn ja, für wen & unter welchen Bedingungen. Jetzt möchte ich die Rückmeldungen zusammenzufassen.
2. Ich bin keine Bildungswissenschaftlerin. Ich bin Amerikanistin & arbeite gleichzeitig im #Frauenbüro meiner Universität. Normalerweise analysiere ich Gedichte, Romane, Filme & Co. Ich arbeite also nicht empirisch & das ist auch hier nicht mein Anspruch.
3. Fast 40 Personen von 23 Hochschulen aus 12 Bundesländern haben geantwortet; einige davon nicht öffentlich. Die meisten Antworten kamen von befristet angestellten Qualifikant*innen (PhDs & Postdocs). Auch Lehrbeauftragte, Profs & entfristete Lehrende haben geantwortet. Danke!
Fraser contends with liberal feminism’s troubling convergence with #capitalism, and the ways in which #feminism can provide a veneer of liberation for a system of relentless #exploitation @DissentMag dissentmagazine.org/article/nancy-…
The gendered separation of #social reproduction from #economic production constitutes the principal institutional basis for women’s subordination in #capitalist societies.
When a society simultaneously withdraws public support for social reproduction and conscripts the chief providers of it into long and grueling hours of paid work, it depletes the very social capacities on which it depends. The result is a “crisis of care”
Good morning Twitter friends. I’m still in bed sick, but possibly on the mend at last after 4 days. Last night @tropigalia & @laura_luna asked me to do a #thread on the devaluing & misrecognition of #femme relationships so here we go.
First, if you don’t know what femme is, read this, this thread will still be here: bustle.com/articles/16608…
So to be clear, femme is a queer gender expression not tied to sex or gender identity. Femme is also not exclusively about appearance, but this thread will emphasize appearance bc I’m going to talk about the way femme relationships are read, thus based on visual cues.
I don’t have all the words for it yet, but if you don’t have Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha (@brownstargirl)’s new book Care Work, you need to go buy it right now. Now. Especially if you are disabled or a person of color or a femme or all of the above. It is...exceptional.
It reminds me of the intensely political, personal, fierce, healing writing of 80s WOC feminists like Audre Lorde & Gloria Anzaldúa. This book is intellectually & emotionally powerful. I’m buying copies for friends. I’m so blown away, so moved—truly a game changing collection.
