Introducing the "Feminist Anthropology" journal with co-editors Dr. Dána-Ain Davis and Dr. Sameena Mulla

This week I am pleased to be joined by the co-editors of a new anthropology journal, Feminist Anthropology, which seeks to bring heterogeneous conceptions of feminism into critical scholarly conversation across a variety of disciplines and genealogies. They discuss the creation of the journal as well as the behind the scenes efforts that make a journal possible. They also give us a sneak preview of issue two coming out soon.

Dr. Dána-Ain Davis is a Professor of Anthropology and Urban Studies at the City University of New York (Queens College and the Graduate Center). Her work on reproductive justice is at the forefront of feminist interrogations about the biopolitics of race and class.

She is the author of Reproductive Injustice: Racism, Pregnancy, and Premature Birth (New York University Press, 2019), and her impressive publication record is a model of the intersection of feminist ethnography and activism.
