Tenure position candidate debates unflattering history of feminism

“I hope my work will get folks at Sewanee curious to explore the history of feminism more deeply, especially the unflattering and contentious aspects of that history. I also hope it will encourage folks to resist taking a whiggish view of the history of feminism. I want to spur folks to think critically about contemporary feminist interventions in sexual politics and to be open to the possibility that we in the present might actually have something to learn from the past,” she said.
