- Creating Counter Archives: The University of Washington Bothell's Feminist Community Archive of Washington Project Shayne, Julie D. Hattwig, Denise Ellenwood, Dave Hiner, Taylor Archives Feminism Universities Access to Information Activism Information Literacy Assignments Praxis College Students College Faculty Academic Libraries Womens Studies Using feminist pedagogical practices that incorporate student knowledge production and digital scholarship methods, a team at the University of Washington Bothell founded the online, open-access Feminist Community Archive of Washington (FCA-WA). Faculty, students, and the library partner with local feminist and gender justice organizations to develop content for the archive. As part of a core gender, women, & sexuality studies (GWSS) course, their assignment asks the students to collect artifacts and conduct interviews with activists that document the current work and histories of their organizations. In this article, the authors seek to explain the assignment and archive in the context of intersectional feminism. They begin with definitions of three key terms--intersectionality, activist scholarship, and praxis--and then move on to offer the theoretical background in which they situate their arguments: feminist knowledge production and pedagogy, community archives, and critical information literacy. They then explain the assignment and archive, and conclude by demonstrating the potential of feminist, community-engaged, student knowledge production and archive building to subvert academic hierarchies, and they consider directions for future research and collaborations.
