Standing in the way of control: Me + third-wave feminism.

This thesis is an example of what happens when a young feminist from a background in community organizing, zine-ing, crafting, and resistance chooses to go to grad school to pursue her nerdy passion: third-wave feminism. Overarching narratives include making space for third-wave feminism in the academy, struggling with the dichotomous/wave framing of contemporary feminist movements, first voice vs. scientific knowledge, and what theory looks like in practice (because, really, you can't have one without the other). --P.ii.The original print copy of this thesis may be available here: http://wizard.unbc.ca/record=b167480
