Feminist Frictions is part of the Feminist Public Intellectuals Project. This installment of Feminist Frictions examines The Field of Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, featuring an essay by Sally Kitch and a digital archive on the topic.

Digital Archive:

This digital archive extends the themes of Kitch’s essay to examine debates around the field of women’s, gender, and sexuality studies. It collects links to essays, videos, podcasts, and other resources. While far from exhaustive, we hope it will be of use to teachers, students, and anyone interested in debates about the field. Works included in the archive are meant to illuminate feminist debates and provide a range of resources; it is not intended to be exhaustive or reflective of Kitch’s positions or the positions of Signs editors. To suggest any useful resources on the topic that are not currently included, we invite you to email the journal office.
