Decentering a Mulher popular? Gender-Class and Race in Early and Contemporary Latin American Popular Feminisms
No full textAlthough 1980s popular feminisms were crucially concerned with the (gendered) class interests of women from the popular sectors, the concerns of racialized women were generally obscured. In the context of the new millennium, contemporary forms of self-identified popular feminisms such as the World March of Women are broader, cross-class, and multiscale coalitions that create new challenges for representation in decision-making beyond the local. These contemporary coalitions also aim for greater systemic change, explicitly embracing anticapitalism and feminism, but have generally maintained the primary gender-class focus of earlier popular feminisms, hindering their attention to antiracism and sexual identities. Embora os feminismos populares da década de 1980 estivessem extremamente preocupados com os interesses de classe (de gênero) das mulheres dos setores populares, as preocupações das mulheres racializadas eram geralmente ofuscadas. No contexto do novo milênio, as formas contemporâneas de feminismos populares auto identificados, como a Marcha Mundial das Mulheres, são coalizões mais amplas, entre classes e multiescala, que criam novos desafios para a representação no processo de tomada de decisões além do local. Essas coalizões contemporâneas têm também como objetivo uma maior mudança sistêmica, abraçando explicitamente o anticapitalismo e feminismo, mas de uma forma geral, mantiveram como foco primário os feminismos populares de gênero e classe anteriores que impediram a devida atenção no que se refere ao antirracismo e identidades sexuais

Perceptions of Bystander Intervention: Surveying Students’ Relationship to Sexual Misconduct
Get PDFBystander intervention education programs have become increasingly popular as a tool for the primary prevention of sexual violence at institutions of higher education (IHEs). Emerging research surrounding bystander intervention on college campuses reveals promising results, yet there is limited extant research exploring how students perceive bystander intervention as a tool to protect themselves and their peers. Students over the age of 18 at a small, private, liberal arts IHE in the mid-Atlantic region of the United States with approximately 2,600 students were surveyed to assess knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to bystander intervention. Students demonstrated a willingness to intervene and a sense of community and responsibility that proves promising for bystander intervention. Students also demonstrated a significant disparity in the level of knowledge, awareness, and behavior when it came to actual intervention. These mixed results reflect the variety of conclusions drawn in prior research regarding program effectiveness and changing actions of students in situations of potential sexual misconduct and contribute to a growing body of research surrounding primary prevention of sexual misconduct at IHEs
