The Feminist Bookstore Movement Lesbian Antiracism and Feminist Accountability kristen hogan From the 1970s through the 1990s more than 100 feminist bookstores built a transnational network that helped shape some of feminism's most complex conversations. Kristen Hogan traces the feminist bookstore movement's rise and eventual fall, restoring its radical work to public feminist memory. The bookwomen at the heart of this storymostly lesbians and including women of color-measured their success not by profit, but by developing theories and practices of lesbian antiracism and feminist accountability. At bookstores like BookWoman in Austin, the Toronto Women's Bookstore, and Old Wives' Tales in San Francisco, and in the essential Feminist Bookstore News, bookwomen changed people's lives and the world. In retelling their stories, Hogan not only shares the movement's tools with contemporary queer antiracist feminist activists and theorists, she gives us a vocabulary, strategy, and legacy for thinking through today's feminisms.
Search is no doubt the most common activities on the Web. One of the most frequent search activities people in the educational and academic communities do is to search for research topics and papers and their author/affiliation information. For example, undergraduate students searching for graduate schools and master-level students searching for institutions for doctoral studies may go online to find universities that are conducting research in a highly specific field of their interest. A common way of doing this is to search journals and conferences for pertinent articles, and then accumulating the affiliations of the authors. In this paper, we present an interactive web-based academic search interface for discovering geographic clusters of academic institutions given a specific field by the user. The underlying system interacts with Microsoft Academic Search API and Google Places API, as well as Weka for clustering analysis. The system can be easily extended to accommodate other types of queries.
