UNDER CONSTRUCTION CHECK-OUT SOCIAL MEDIA FOR UPDATES

Allard, Oliphant, and Chambers argue that feminist approaches have fundamentally transformed archival studies by challenging power relations within archival institutions and centering marginalized communities. Through a systematic literature review spanning fifty years (1973-2023), they claim that intersectional feminist theory has shifted archival practice toward visibility, care, and social liberation for equity-deserving communities. 

Caspari argues that feminist curation must employ "contingent" practices that resist colonial and patriarchal forms of knowledge production through decolonial engagement with archival materials. Reflecting on the online exhibition "Forms Voices Networks: Feminism and the Media," she claims that feminist curatorial practice should create "sites of relation and potentiality" where diverse feminist histories dialogue with one another rather than reproduce universalizing Western narratives

Chandra argues that transnational feminist archival research requires a methodology rooted in "orientation," "listening," and "intervention" to contend with fragmented archives and tell complex queer feminist stories across borders. 

Choudry and Vally argue that independent community and activist archives serve as critical educational sites where social movements produce knowledge, engage with history, and inform contemporary struggles for social change. They claim that communities and activists actively construct historical resources through archival practices that facilitate intergenerational learning, debate, and contestation of ideas and memories, challenging dominant adult education scholarship that overlooks social movements' educative dimensions. 

Dever and contributors argue that feminist archival research must critically examine archives as "figured" spaces enmeshed in histories, politics, and power structures rather than treating them as neutral repositories. The collection claims that digital technologies have transformed archival access and democratized what was once elite practice, yet these changes have not resolved fundamental questions about what it means politically and methodologically to archive materials and engage in feminist archival work.

Geiger and Hauser argue that feminist archives play a crucial role in preserving women's history by documenting grassroots feminist media, particularly magazines, which serve as dynamic sources of political practices and theoretical discussions within the women's movement. They claim that since the 1970s, feminist archives and libraries have functioned both as information centers for contemporary activism and infrastructure supporting academic feminist research, making accessibility and preservation essential for retracing feminist discourses and movement histories.

Hara and Estrada argue that the internet plays a transformative role in socio-political mobilization by enriching civil society and fundamentally altering how social activists organize and interact. They claim that by combining indicators from newspaper and journal articles with resource mobilization and participation theories, researchers can conceptualize how grassroots activities leverage internet technologies for collective action. 

Sorce and Thomas argue that digital spaces serve as crucial sites for feminist, queer, and decolonial activist organizing where marginalized voices resist oppression through practices like resistance storytelling, hashtag activism, grassroots journalism, and diaspora podcasting. Drawing on bell hooks' foundational work, they claim that these digital interventions create conditions for communities facing gender violence, queer discrimination, and migrant hostility to speak up, talk back, and be heard in digital publics across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
