ajnabieh: The text "My Marxist feminist dialective brings all the boys to the yard."   (marxist feminist)
I'm looking for people who use feminist ideas and feminist theory in their professional lives to talk to my feminist theory class--people who work in an area that is directly related to gender, women's issues, social transformation, or the feminist movement, or people who use a feminist/queer ethical base to drive their work. (And I'm open to any kind of feminism or critical encounter with gender as a social category--in fact, I'd like to hear from people who do things that don't match up neatly to contemporary mainstream American feminism.) Doesn't matter if you're not US-based. If you think this is you, and you'd be willing to record a five minute video for my students about what you do and how it interfaces with feminism, let me know, via PM, email, or comment here--I'd love to bring your voice to my class!

(For the record: it's an intro level feminist political theory class; we've read bell hooks on the feminist movement, Susan Moller Okin on justice and families, Fatima Mernissi on the public/private divide and Muslim social order, Wendy Brown on freedom and post-modernity, and Michael Warner on queer opposition to "normality" and alternate ethical visions. Most students haven't taken previous course work in women's/gender studies, or in political theory.)
