kai clement-milanovich @kialectics.bsky.social · 23/01/2026The development of a valid and reliable measurement tool is compatible with, and quite comparable to, the feminist project of identifying how gendered relations of power enable the persistence and concealment of sexual violence. 020
kai clement-milanovich @kialectics.bsky.social · 23/01/2026This article examines the development of Mary Koss’s influential Sexual Experiences Survey, one of the earliest tools used to estimate the national prevalence of sexual violence. Koss's research is a great case study to assess the value of feminist standpoint theory. The surprising conclusion? 110

kai clement-milanovich @kialectics.bsky.social · 03/07/2025Nancy's work has always been compelling to me, and this paper is (in part) trying to renew part of the spirit from her style of feminist theorizing. it's so apt that this named award was granted to a paper that retraces the steps of her thinking. i'm honored! 140
kai clement-milanovich @kialectics.bsky.social · 03/07/2025also: i was, on the basis of this paper, awarded the Nancy Hartsock Endowed Graduate Student Award, which recognizes creative achievements of an emerging scholar doing work in feminist theory. 1213

kai clement-milanovich @kialectics.bsky.social · 30/12/2024TLDR: keep an eye out for people indirectly using your name & credentials for AI generated muck. like look at the description here 010
kai clement-milanovich @kialectics.bsky.social · 30/12/2024granted, only the name is used and nothing about her title, so i suppose it is possible that there is another Klein who writes platitudinously. i hope it is not her, at least, because i emailed the Yale professor to say the book seems like a fake 🤷🏻 100
kai clement-milanovich @kialectics.bsky.social · 30/12/2024the sites say it was written by “Ph.D. Jennifer Klein,” who is actually a historian, but she seems to mainly work on labor stuff and the two books she has published read way way way better. lol 100
kai clement-milanovich @kialectics.bsky.social · 30/12/2024it seems to only be available as an audiobook which is open for purchase on several platforms. the description doesn’t read like it’s a real book, doesn’t seem to have a real publisher, and reads like it’s a collection of wikipedia articles 100

Reposted by kai clement-milanovichMark Joseph Stern @mjsdc.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Barrett and other conservatives don't seem to see how state-sanctioned discrimination against trans people basically always takes the form of sex discrimination—imposing unique restrictions on people's rights based on their sex assigned at birth. Frustrating that the argument isn't breaking through. 351153142
