Feminist HCI and transgender studies are natural allies, as they share a focus on gender embodiment and advocacy, and both are important arenas for technology research and design. Explicit transgender inclusion in feminist HCI could bring about important future collaborations, theories, and insights. We draw from feminist HCI literature, briefly discuss online identity and intersectionality, an...

This study examined components of women's feminist identity and possible relations to their reported coping responses to sexism. A sample of 169 undergraduate women (M = 19.4 y, SD = 1.2) from diverse ethnic backgrounds completed surveys assessing their experiences and gender-related views. The first set of analyses revealed that women's social gender identity, exposure to feminism, and gender-...

Perhaps a better (rhetorical) question would be: “What wasn’t feminist about our project?” These days, there are certainly many different cultural feminist events in general (eg: women’s poetry readings, women’s folk music festivals, women’s art exhibits, the Vagina Monologues, etc).

Part I of the paper will briefly sketch the his...

Through an examination of recent production of interdisciplinary feminist and cultural theory journals, I suggest that despite a rhetorical insistence on multiple feminisms, Western feminist trajectories emerge as startlingly singular. In particular, I am c...

Male Feminists find themselves in the weird position of opposing entrenched patriarchal gender hierarchies while effectively reinforcing them. The question arises, am I a man or a Feminist? This question is seated in a seemingly oppositional relationship between the culturally masculine, the culturally male, and the positive theory of Feminist thought. In this paper, I attempt to provide a way ...

The intersections and conversations between feminist geography and political geography have been surprisingly few. Feminist geographers’ forays into geopolitics and international relations within political geography have been relatively rare compared to their presence and influence in social, cultural, and economic geography. Likewise, only a few political geographers concerned with IR and geop...

The design of a conversational virtual agent that plays the role of a lactation educator promoting breastfeeding is described, along with a manipulation to make the agent appear more or less feminist. Results from a randomized pilot study indicate that study participants were aware of the manipulation and participants who were more feminist preferred the feminist agent, while those who were non...
