• Complex Identities: Seyla Benhabib Between Feminism and Discourse Ethics

According to Young, the main features of "rationality" in modern political thought arose from an excluding process, which becomes evident once a closer look is addressed to the basic validity standards of public discourse. [...] this would imply refusing the intrinsic normativity that Benhabib finds in the model of rational argumentative justification, which is based on standards of universalization that cannot in the end get along without any problem with her conception of "concrete" other and with its main features: situatedness, concreteness, particularity.

• Gangster Feminism: The Feminist Cultural Work of Hbo's 'the Sopranos'

Dow, as "an important ideological forum for public discourse about social issues and social change.

• Commentary: Ub Law's Center On Applied Feminism Goes Global

While a wide abyss may separate the theoretical from the practical in some areas of the law, that's not the case at the University of Baltimore's Center on Applied Feminism, which keeps its feet firmly planted on the ground. This center is an attempt to be a bridge between theory and practice -- to bring insights from feminist legal theory into the work we do for clients and to bring things we see happening on the ground to inform legal theory," said center co-director Michele Gilman. "Or, as we like to say, from the ground to the ivory tower and back.
