In this paper I examine Jacqui Alexander's Pedagogies of Crossing in order to consider the interdisciplinary synergies that might be realized through a practice of knowledge production which bridges the metaphysical and the material. While the text encourages us to pursue the Sacred in our various academic and activist locations, I build on this deployment of the Sacred to argue for a feminist pedagogy of the erotic as a form of liberatory politics within Women's Studies.

This book uses the Anglophone Caribbean as its site of critique to explore two important questions within development studies. First, to what extent has the United Nations' call to implement gender-mainstreaming projects resulted in the realization of gender equity for women within developing societies? Second, does gender-mainstreaming have the conceptual, operational, and technical capacities to address the centrality of the body in 21st-century lobbies for gender equity? In answering these questions, Rowley examines such issues as reproductive rights and equity, sexual harassment, and se

Taking Andil Gosine's invitation in Nature's Wild: Love, Sex, and Law in the Caribbean (2021) to consider the possibilities of animality, this essay sits with the two valences that are potentially inherent in his framing—first, that we reassess the generative possibilities of animality, and second, that we consider how in refusing the demarcating line between humanity and animality they potentially remake each other. Centering "animality" as an analytic, the author considers the kinds of relations that animality allows us to imagine with ourselves and each other. The essay frames Gosine's questions as ones that pursue the decolonial possibilities of animality and suggests that Nature's Wild offers us a blueprint for a Caribbean queer decolonial politic. Its primary inquiry resides in asking how animality adapts and signifies in potentially intersectional ways and whether this framing makes room for us to envision the ways "gender" also holds generative possibilities in relation to ideas of animality.
