Exploring Feminist Placemaking

Placemaking has been a central feature of feminist agency and action. In Volume 1 of Gatherings, scholars identify such horizons of potential, and we see new concepts emerge in these reflections–terms like vulnerability, rupture, performance, vigilance, humility, violence, care, listening, and virtual/digital modes of presence. The contributors in this volume attend to the simultaneity of the questions that make up feminist placemaking.

Articles include:

• Editors Lisa J. Cunningham, Amy Shore, Jill Swiencicki, and Farha Ternikar: Welcome to Gatherings: Studies in Feminism
• Katrina Marie Overby: The Familiar Feels Like Family: A Black Feminists' Approach to Placemaking and Gathering for Black Women in the Academy
• Wafaa Hasan, Besan Jaber, Nadiya N. Ali, Asmaa Malik, and Farha Ternikar: Where is the Place for Muslim Feminists? Placemaking in the Ruptures of the North American Academy
