What is Feminism in Troubling Times? To Stay Standing Together

This performative piece, an enactment of lived feminism, acknowledges the privileges and explores the similarities and differences between three cis-gendered white women in different parts of the United Kingdom and how these aid and hinder collaboratively writing together. The piece was shared at the Autoethnography Special Interest Group at International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry (ICQI) in 2018. We had never written together before but had presented on the same Shame? panel at ICQI in 2017 convened by Alys Mendus that also included papers by Stacy Holman Jones and Anne Harris and a memorial to Sue Porter. There were similarities in terms of themes explored including sexuality and taboo. This was our starting point but it was not easy. We realized that difficulty within collaborative inquiry is rarely written about and published but is often the topic of conversation between academics. Perhaps feminism is our ability to stand together curious and alive to our nonshared experience with a commitment to not creating a shared perspective? To stay standing together, we could be stronger in these troubling times.

Making Video Glitter in the Time of COVID-19

In this article, I explore how two research-creation projects helped me to process the stresses of the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown using a critical autoethnographic approach. Video editing weaves the two projects together, providing both a descriptive and abstract engagement with ideas about glitter as method and media making as a form of analysis. The article starts with Prompt #3 from the Massive Micro Sensemaking undertaking led by Annette Markham and Anne Harris in May and June, 2020, and is punctuated by the text and links to the videos produced by media artist Midi Onodera between April and July 2020.

An Engaging and Inclusive Approach to Contemporary Feminist Research from Theory to Practice: A Review

Contemporary Feminist Research from Theory to Practice by Patricia Leavy and Anne Harris offers an engaging and inclusive perspective to feminist research.

Each chapter is filled with in depth, clear writing that engages the reader as well as various resources, discussion questions, and activities at the end of each chapter.

Some Ways We Might Use Paper

This essay works with and through the process of translation to examine Heavier than Air, a play by Anne Harris and Stacy Holman Jones. As a play based on interviews with queer Australian teachers, but performed in multiple locations, the ways the text moved across cultures and between those involved required negotiations of meaning and expression. Scene 11, “Fucking Faggot,” serves as a potent example for me—a queer man involved in the production—about the ways that those negotiations are a complex process that occurs even after a production has been produced.

I'm So Glad I Came, but I Can't Wait to Leave

Can a theatre play provide actors and audiences with a feeling of being at home? This article is an autoethnographic work that addresses how the author finds, in his work directing the research-based theatre play Heavier than Air devised by Anne Harris and Stacy Holman Jones, a self-identification with its queer characters. Describing it as a play that explicitly and implicitly welcomes people to be queer and to tell their stories, the author analyzes how the play also symbolizes the free movement of people and the quest for home.
