Feminist Studies, Inc. is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve and extend access to Feminist Studies. WOMEN S STUDIES DEPARTMENTS, like a number of other interdisci plinary programs, are in the process of internationalizing or at least talk ing about internationalization. Although the internationalization of women's studies is a very important step in engaging feminist practices at the local, national, and transnational levels, the conceptual as well as institutional issues of what such an undertaking might mean remain unexplored. Most of the time, internationalization is seen as self-evident rather than a serious undertaking requiring a well-thought-out theoreti cal framework, a great amount of institutional commitment in terms of faculty and resources, and a serious revisiting of the curricula of many women's studies departments and programs that are largely Eurocentric if not U.S.-centric. For a number of women's studies programs, internationalization is yet another "add-and-stir" moment, an evolution, which has followed the prior adding of "women of color" to mainstream women's studies curricula. This framework has maintained the nationalist focus of women's studies without challenging or changing it. The mainstream assumption about internationalization is that it is the spread of knowledge that is produced in the West and consumed in various parts of the world.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
