I think this work of making feminist scholarship visible is very important, but what I see in the Feminist Media Studies Collective is just as crucial to supporting feminist scholarship, and that is the sense of solidarity this collective fosters. You highlight the importance of individual agency in practicing feminist politics, equally important is the ability to practice feminism in concert with others, which for me is one of the strengths of a feminist media group. Thank you for your awesome mentorship, and for forging this space for feminists media scholars to gather and support each other so that we may share our work and perspectives with the greater world and its feminist (and non-feminst) spaces.

And I’m totally with you in the experience of media studies helping one’s latent feminism to emerge–happened to me and I’ve seen it happen with students time and again.
