I am thrilled to finally share this research in @feministreview.bsky.social! This article calls for transnational feminism to move beyond simplistic understandings of religion to combat religious fundamentalisms and construct a feminism of the masses (hooks).

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

NEW from me: A group of Catholic nuns in New York — the Sisters of Charity of New York — are pushing back against Cardinal Timothy Dolan's praise for Charlie Kirk, saying comparing the activist to a saint is “confusing the true witness of the Gospel." religionnews.com/2025/09/26/c...

In the last 10 months, I've spent time in Mexico and Argentina for my research. Here's what freedom of expression looks like at public universities (UNAM, UBA, and UNJu) in both of these countries.

10TV also reported on the chalking ban. Pranav Jani, representing AAUP-OSU, explains: “We have to fight for every inch of free speech — it’s like a muscle, you use it or you lose it. If we give up our paths for free expression, then we will actually lose those paths.”

In the Dominican Republic, the Trujillo dictatorship co opted and created museums that erased African legacies and legacies of resistance.These and the persecution of scholars transformed how history has been taught for generations to fuel colonialist and antiblackness. Now the US does the same.

For those of us who come from legacies of dictatorships this is very familiar. They’re disappearing public histories about Black and brown people before our very eyes. In 2020 we roll to the streets to defend Black Lives. This is the payback. #resist

50 years ago when students and faculty challenged the status quo and demanded a new university, they won. That is both our lesson and our challenge right now. What is the university we see, how do we build it together, and how do we win?

Hello colleagues!

I am a PhD candidate in the Dept. of Spanish and Portuguese at Ohio State. My dissertation brings together feminist studies and religious studies to examine Catholic feminism and abortion rights activism in Mexico, Argentina, and the U.S. Looking forward to connecting!
