WGS Professor Durba Mitra's piece, "It's Time to Reckon with the History of Asian Women in America," which was co-written with Professor Genevieve Clutario of Wellesley College and Sara Kang, a Harvard History PhD candidate and WGS graduate secondary fielder, has been published on Bazaar.com, the website of Harper's Bazaar magazine. The article illuminates the history behind the complex "system of white supremacy built on gendered violence in empire and anti-Black and anti-immigrant racisms and xenophobia" that enabled last week's killing of six Asian American women in Atlanta. 

Mitra is Assistant Professor of Women, Gender, and Sexuality, the Carol K. Pforzheimer Assistant Professor at the Radcliffe Institute at Harvard University, and the author of Indian Sex Life: Sexuality and the Colonial Origins of Modern Social Thought (Princeton University Press, 2020). Her current book project explores the history of Third World feminist theory and South-South solidarity movements.
