Sws Distinguished Feminist Lecture: Bridges for Transgression
本文扩展了作者在2021年女权主义讲座的内容，讲述她通过志愿服务寻求庇护者，将交叉性与精神行动主义结合，作为学者行动主义者越界社会学学科、寻求更真实学术存在的历程。
This article is an expansion of the Feminist Lecture that I gave at the Sociologists for Women in Society Meetings in April 2021. I map my journey toward conocimiento, highlighting the centrality of my volunteer work with asylum seekers, traveling to their sponsors after being released from ICE detention, for the development of my identity as a scholar activist. I rely on two theories, intersectionality and spiritual activism—both developed by women of color scholars to guide our efforts toward social change—to illustrate how scholars can reconcile their roles as community activists with their roles as scholars in academia. I bring intersectionality and spiritual activism together, as distinct (albeit complementary) resistant knowledge projects that, in tandem, support my critique of sociology’s competing commitments to objective empirical research and social justice. I chronicle how strengthening my conocimiento has served as a tool in my efforts to transgress the discipline and ultimately how it helped me find a more authentic existence within the academy.
