Current project continues to explore the “disciplinarity” of “Women’s Studies” – including debates over naming the field, core concepts and language in the field, parameters of WS work and borders/overlaps with other (new) theoretical languages i.e. queer, trans, transnational, anti-racist etc theorizing as it constitutes “the subject” of the field.
