This was special. I got to host ABC's The Philosophers' Zone, in celebration of International Women's Day. And - the best part - I interviewed my good friend Kristin Gjesdal.
Hear Kristin (and me) talk about IWD and the woman behind it, Clara Zetkin, here:

Feminist researchers: ever want to make the point that Muslim women must be especially strategic in expressing feminist criticisms, because their words can be coopted by islamophobes who portray Muslim cultures as inherently misogynistic? I've got your citation here:

Today at the Palace, Ege Selin Islekel (Texas A&M) has us digging through the “memory rubble”: what persists from our memories of place when the place is altered or destroyed? A great read about the implications of this form of memory for rebuilding and recovering from collective trauma.

Feminists have led many efforts to challenge abuses of power, but a lack of accountability and equity within feminist communities undermines this work. Let’s revisit the Right to Resist Manifesto and insist that feminist solidarity must listen to those who are directly affected by imperialism

It took a hot minute, but I can finally share my new paper on evidentiary pragmatism in transgender health care!
In it, I propose a new principle for evaluating scientific evidence based on the best reasonably achievable evidence, avoiding the ‘catch-22’ where trans care can never be justified.
(1/3) It is with deep sadness that we mourn the passing of Teresa de Lauretis (1938–2026), an internationally renowned feminist and film theorist whose work reshaped the fields of cinema studies, feminist theory, and queer thought.

We need to learn from past mobilization and coalition building, now more than ever.
In spring 1979, Black women & girls were found murdered one after another on Boston's south side. Mainstream press remained silent.
Black feminists, women of color, and white lesbians mobilized to stop it.
What are you doing today if not educating yourself about Puerto Rican feminism?
This piece by Omayra Rivera Crespo on feminism in PR urbanism and the contestation of space looks fascinating
Here I respond to problems with the operation of time-limited abortion law by
1) explaining some aspects of legal method for a non-legal audience
2) mining ordinary legal methods and practices for their take on time and temporality &
3) showing how legal time-limits could work better and

Hot for Revolution Caleb Ward Abstract Activists for feminist, queer, and disability justice commonly describe their work as motivated by an erotic desire to build a different world. This chapter argues that this is not merely a metaphor. Drawing on activist case studies and the work of Audre Lorde, the chapter shows that erotic desire and pleasure in social movements can foster political agency for people targeted by sexual oppression. It traces three political benefits of erotic passion in this context: personal empowerment, communal moral resistance against oppressive norms and justifications, and enhanced political imagination toward a world that supports sexual agency. However, because intimate relationships within movements are often distorted by dominant, pernicious ideologies around sex, these political benefits are only realizable when a movement is organized internally around a relational infrastructure – an ethos – that supports sexual agency and equality, responsive to the needs of those targeted by sexual oppression. Keywords: political agency, sexual oppression, social movements, sexual agency, Audre Lorde, feminism, disability, queer politics, moral resistance, political imagination
Members of the Lesbian and Gay community stage a Valentine‘s Day “Kiss-In” 14 February 1988 outside St Patrick’s Cathedral in New York to present a message of their unity and love in the face of the “church condoning anti-gay and anti-lesbian violence”. (Photo by MARIA BASTONE / AFP)
What does it mean to be hot for revolution—to feel a desire to transform the world in your belly and your bones?
Here's my latest, on how erotic desire feeds political agency. I draw on AIDS activism, disability justice & other movements against sexual oppression.

I wrote a book about my three favourite topics: Feminism, Time & Care. It’s about how time is stolen by capitalism, how patriarchal our times are and how authoritarianism is based on acceleration.
And it’s about chronofeminist politics to reclaim time @transcript-verlag.bsky.social
Very saddened by the death of Deborah Cameron this week—a brilliant linguist, feminist, and colleague, who shone bright light on language and gender in society.
Here she is talking about why people are interested in linguistic differences between men and women:
