“…Through the acts of posting and sharing on various sites and platforms different forms of community feelings of collectivity and sharing can be forged, generating new digitally mediated 'affective intensities' through what has been termed 'hashtag feminism' (Khoja-Moolji, 2015).…”

Acknowledgments:To add after peer review. Abstract:This paper examines the ways in which girls and women are using digital media platforms to challenge the rape culture they experience in their everyday lives, including street harassment, sexual assault, and the policing of one's body and clothing in school settings. Focusing on three international case studies, including the anti-street harassment site Hollaback!, the hashtag #BeenRapedNeverReported, and interviews with teenage Twitter activists, the paper asks: What experiences of harassment, misogyny and rape culture are girls and women responding to? How are girls and women using digital media technologies to document experiences of sexual violence, harassment, and sexism? And, why are girls and women choosing to mobilize digital media technologies in such a way?Employing a unique approach including ethnographic methods such as semi-structured interviews, content analysis, discursive textual analysis, and affect theories, we detail a range of ways women and girls are using social media platforms to speak about, and thus make visible, experiences of rape culture. Additionally, we argue that this digital mediation enables new connections previously unavailable to girls and women, allowing them to redraw the boundaries between themselves and others.

“…Cal preguntar-se si les cibercampanyes són liderades per agències internacionals o per líders locals, i en qualsevol cas, ¿quins efectes tenen sobre l'agenda política local, sobre la resolució del conflicte i sobre la quotidianitat de les persones locals? També caldria valorar si expressen el sentiment d'un dels grups de pressió en conflicte o si tenen en compte la complexitat del problema i el sentiment global de la població (Hooks, 1986;Mohanty, 1984Mohanty, , 1991Khoja-Moolji, 2015;Maxfield, 2016). L'autora assenyala l'elasticitat del concepte d'infància si el mirem des de les categories culturals imbricades en les distintes societats, i també temporalment, en el cas de Chibok, en què van ser segrestades sent xiquetes, però que ja han deixat de ser-ho.…”

“…Embodied experiences, like brutal rapes (Lodhia, 2015), can reveal the complexities of inequality and injustice in widespread public mobilizations. Solidarity politics, like support for the Chibok school girls abducted in Nigeria, can throw into sharp relief post-colonial politics of differently situated and distant support (Khoja-Moolji, 2015). Affective technologies (Schwittay and Boocock, 2015) can present imperatives to engage with the business of development as a stranger.…”

Critical gender studies and international development studies: interdisciplinarity, intellectual agility and inclusion

Critical gender studies and international development studies are both interdisciplinary, but intellectual agility can ensure they are inclusive sites of knowledge production. To develop intellectual agility, which underpins progressive interdisciplinarity, students must paradoxically venture into more closely defined disciplinary traditions in the social sciences, the humanities and the sciences. Intellectual agility begins by being fully cognizant of epistemological and theoretical framings in substantive debates, such as, for instance, the perpetuation of violence against women or the entrenchment of poverty. I argue that by explicitly tethering ideas to disciplinary traditions, interdisciplinary research and teaching can more successfully address pressing international development concerns in an inclusive manner. International development studies can easily be seen as utilitarian and instrumental just as critical gender studies can easily be seen as impractical and vague. Here, I show how I have worked critical gender studies into international development studies so that students can develop intellectual agility. Underpinning this is the call for progressive interdisciplinary research and teaching delinked from the defensive claims of long-standing scholarly traditions or the aspirational ambitions of newly cast bodies of knowledge. This article is published as part of a thematic collection dedicated to multi-and interdisciplinary perspectives on gender studies.
