For nine years, we have been publishing an institutional bulletin that promotes and publicises our members’ work and also provides a space for reflection on key issues in contemporary debate from a feminist perspective (ecology, technology, human rights, labour rights, art, economy, geopolitical issues, SRHR, GBV, amongst others). Contributors have included artists, academics, representatives of trade unions and social organisations, journalists, and members of the scientific and technological community.
Our latest edition focuses on a critical issue: war. This bulletin was conceived for a time when war has once again taken center stage. Even when missiles fall far from our homes, in other regions of the planet, devastating the lives of people we know little about, no aspect of daily life or politics is safe from its shadow. War permeates our immediate futures and challenges our hopes for a livable world. Virginia Woolf wrote in Three Guineas: “As a woman, I have no country. As a woman, I do not want a country. As a woman, my country is the whole world.” That sentence, written in 1938, invites us to break down any sense of distance: if our country is the whole world, no war truly takes place far away.
The Argentine Association for the Research on the History of Women and Gender Studies has been selected as Sociologists for Women in Society’s (SWS) 2027 Global Feminist Partner.
This recognition comes at a time when reactionary forces in many countries are attacking gender studies, universities, research, and the teaching of social inequality. Such efforts seek to silence women’s and feminist expertise precisely when our societies need it most.
Transnational feminist solidarity allows us to learn from one another, understand how these threats take different forms across borders, and develop stronger collective responses. It also helps feminist scholars bring their research into public conversations and demonstrate how their knowledge can contribute to solving social problems.
