“…WOC have long challenged the hegemony of feminism for being constructed primarily around the lives of White middle-class women, thereby excluding WOC (Lorde, 1984;Zinn & Dill, 1996). Chicana feminists-feminists of Mexican ancestry born and/ or raised in the United States-criticized White women's liberation movements in the late 1970s for failing to recognize the importance of race-based oppressions (Moya, 2001). Frustrated by the mainstream feminist movement that did not consider racism (Taylor, 2017), Black women introduced a feminist perspective called Womanism that is inclusive of the unique experiences of Black women, which involved racism, sexism, and multiple social stigmas (Williams & Wiggins, 2010).…”

“…We chose the scale that measures intersectional gender consciousness (Greenwood, 2008), which is the awareness that sexism stems from multiple forms of oppression. Feminism as a social movement started with its emphasis on a singular identity (i.e., gender); early feminism viewed oppression as occurring along a single axis (DeBlaere & Bertsch, 2013;Moya, 2001;Williams & Wiggins, 2010;Zinn & Dill, 1996). Literature suggests that intersectional gender consciousness represents a more modern view of feminism than the simple endorsement of gender equality (Cole, 2009;Parent et al, 2013;Signorella, 2020;Warner & Shields, 2018).…”

Using latent profile analysis, we examined whether different feminist identity profiles are differentially related to career-related cognitions among women. We identified profiles of feminist identity based on feminist attitudes, feminist self-identification, and participation in feminist activism. In addition, we examined whether the profiles are differentially related to women’s career aspirations, anticipated family-interference-with-work, and willingness to compromise career for family. In Study 1, three profiles of feminist identity (Non-labeler, Passive feminist, and Active feminist) emerged from responses of 282 female undergraduate and graduate students ( Mage = 20.47). In Study 2, three profiles of feminist identity (Non-feminist, Non-labeler, and Active feminist) emerged from responses of 490 adults recruited from Mechanical Turk ( Mage = 38.62). Results showed that the profiles characterized by stronger feminist self-identification were more positively related to women’s career-related cognitions than the profiles characterized by weaker feminist self-identification. Moreover, the profiles characterized by stronger participation in feminist activism were more positively associated with career-related cognitions. These findings suggest a potential benefit of feminist identity and participation in feminist activism for women’s career aspirations.

“…In responding to questions that facilitate reframing, clients may recontextualize their difficulties and identify how important strengths based on social and cultural traditions can support their coping. For example, Chicana feminists Anzaldúa (1987) and Moya (2001) spoke of the survival value of la facultad, which can be defined as a sixth sense that involves paying attention to the power dynamics and potential for marginalization that occur as a part of everyday experiences (see also Chapter 4,this volume,on Latinas). This ability to "read" situations facilitates the ability to adjust to changing and threatening circumstances (la facultad), offers a layer of protection and resilience, and allows for creative forms of response.…”

Psychological Practice With Women: Guidelines, Diversity, Empowerment.

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Working effectively with clients with diverse and multiple identities is facilitated by attentiveness to the diversity of women throughout the psychotherapy process, beginning with the exploration of women's experiences and assessment. Guideline 8 of the "Guidelines for Psychological Practice With Girls and Women" (American Psychological Association [APA], 2007; hereinafter, the Guidelines), which are discussed in Chapter 1 of this volume, states that "psychologists strive to provide appropriate, unbiased assessments and diagnoses in their work with girls and women" (p. 967), and Guideline 9 indicates that "psychologists strive to consider the problems of girls and women in their sociopolitical context" (p. 968). In addition, optimal assessment practices are built on a foundation of self-awareness. Consistent with this reality, Guideline 5 encourages psychologists to "recognize how their socialization, attitudes, and knowledge about gender may affect their practice" (p. 965). Guideline 2 also encourages psychologists to consider how

“…Postmodernism is derived through a recognition of the simultaneously stable and unstable discursive struggles that give rise to a system of resistance and transformation. Communication becomes the foundation of organizing (Cooren et al, 2011), particularly when examined through the context of oppositional consciousness (Moya, 2001;Sandoval, 1991) and digital safe spaces (Linabary, 2017).…”

“My freedom doesn’t care about your fear. My freedom doesn’t care about your feelings”: Postmodern and oppositional organizing in #OpenAmericaNow

In April 2020, amid the global COVID-19 pandemic, fringe political activists, conspiracy theorists, and far-right subcultures joined together to protest stay at home orders and social distancing decrees. Largely sharing information and organizing strategies on social media, these protestors adopted the Twitter hashtag #OpenAmericaNow to activate and mobilize supporters across the United States. In this study, we examine the online organizing of #OpenAmericaNow through analysis of 17,965 tweets to understand how fringe and conspiracy subcultures organized through oppositional consciousness raising. Our findings reveal multi-level discourses, which bridge identification on the micro-level with anti-elitist and post-truth logics on the macro-level. Theoretically, our study advances theorizing on postmodern organizing and conceptualizes alt-civic engagement, while also engaging in innovative methodological strategies useful for interrogating paradoxical and multi-level discourses.
