With much joy and love and gratitude, I wish to announce the publication of Race-ing Queens, a Special Issue of Barnard Center for Research on Women’s The Scholar and Feminist Online, co-edited with Sonja Drimmer (art historian), Treva B. Lindsey (Black feminist historian), and yours truly (literary critic). This special issue has been in the works for more than three (pandemic) years, and is the brainchild of the visionary mentor, colleague, and all-around Queen, Kim Hall. It is transhistorical, interdisciplinary, and open-access (and we are hoping, teachable)
