Gender & Sexuality Studies at New Mexico State Univerisity puts together this zine each spring. We are dedicated to social justice issues, feminisms, and works focusing on issues connected to gender, race, gender identity, dis/ability, migration, LGBTQIA*, borders, the Borderlands, and transnational positionality. This year’s theme seeks to address how “a sense of emergency” can mean both precarity* and the possibility of emergence.
Judith Butler defines precarity as “the politically induced condition in which certain populations suffer from failing social and economic networks . . . becoming differentially exposed to injury, violence, and death” (Butler 2009, 25).
