Feministing in Political Science

Overview

Focusing on the discipline of political science, this collection examines what is at stake in contesting the boundaries of the contemporary university. As the study of politics and political life, the mainstream of the discipline has examined power in the institutions and processes of government. But if the personal is political, political science is about much more than what happens in those institutions. This collection draws together personal essays, pedagogical interventions, dialogues, and original research to reflect on how “feministing” as an orientation and as an analytic can centre experiential knowledge and reshape our understandings of political science. Collectively, these contributions lay bare the ways that power moves in and through the academy, naming the impacts on those who are most structurally precarious, all while pointing to potential futures made possible by refusal, solidarity, and hope. Contributors: Yasmeen Abu-Laban, Julianne M. Acker-Verney, Kelly Aguirre, Jeanette Ashe, Nicole S. Bernhardt, Amanda Bittner, Alana Cattapan, Elaine Coburn, Jamilah A.Y.

Reviews

“Diverse voices use scholarly pieces, personal reflections, stories, letters, and dialogues to highlight how they have pushed back against the entrenched norms and practices of the discipline. The insights in Feministing in Political Science will resonate with academics as well as students.” Jocelyne Praud, Vancouver Island University “This collection offers an intersectional feminist critique of both the discipline of political science in Canada and the contemporary Canadian university system. The contributors illuminate the ways in which the discipline continues to fail Canada by systematically excluding or muting certain voices. They then move the conversation about the discipline forward in numerous ways.” Lisa Young, University of Calgary
