Each of the volume's chapters identifies and critically examines a key term that circulates in this field, exploring how the term has come to be understood and mobilized within its everyday narratives and practices.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn constructing provocative genealogies for their terms, authors explicate the roles that this language, and the narratives attached to it, play in producing and limiting possible versions of the field.

Contributions both introduce and defamiliarize WGS keywords, routing them through diverse genealogies to activate new theoretical and political possibilities. This collection undertakes another round of “rethinking” that risks undoing what we think we know about Women and Gender Studies as an academic formation.
