Congratulations to Wagner College professor Patricia Moynagh on the publication of her book, The Research Handbook on Feminist Political Thought, co-edited with Mary Caputi. This comprehensive volume brings together an international range of scholars and activists to explore 21st-century social and political issues through a feminist lens.
The Research Handbook on Feminist Political Thought offers a broad spectrum of feminist analyses on topics including racial and sexual violence, climate change, and reproductive rights. Featuring lived experiences from women across various cultural and geographic contexts, this text is essential reading for students and scholars in feminist, political, and postcolonial theory, as well as policymakers, activists, and academics in philosophy, political science, sociology, and gender studies.
“This Research Handbook on Feminist Political Thought addresses multiple issues in multiple regions from multiple disciplinary perspectives. What the authors of this anthology share is a deep engagement with feminist political thought and feminist activism,” wrote Amrita Basu, a professor at Amherst College. In an interview with John Cabot University, co-editors Moynagh and Caputi reflected on the collaborative nature of the project, stating, "Once the sparks (for this book) started, they never stopped. They are still igniting. And we hope our readers will have new sparks of their own. This is a collective effort to achieve greater freedom and a better life for all of us."
Moynagh is the director of gender studies and a professor in the department of government and politics at Wagner College where she specializes in political theory. Caputi is a professor of political theory at Cal State Long Beach.
