The post reads: "My travel across the country to FemRhet 2025, funded by the Shirley Wilson Logan Diversity Scholarship, gave me the gift of living out the legacy of my ancestors. Building community with other feminist scholars opened up a new world to me. The Coalition's commitment to including junior scholars in conference experiences proved invaluable for my personal and professional development. The community I met continues to help me expand my scholarship and explore what kind of work I offer. I am excited about the generative ways these opportunities will buoy feminist research as they did for me."

As part of our new Giving Days fundraiser, this #FeministFriday, we are highlighting stories from CFSHRC members to share how much this community we've built means to all of us in #FeministRhetorics. Today, we're featuring a story from a 2025 Shirley Wilson Logan Diversity Scholarship recipient.

This poster showcases featured speaker Jainab T. Banu and a description of her talk, titled "Refusal of Normative Body Ideals through Reclaiming Hunger & Fat Identity in Life Writing." The talk explores how memoirs function as a feminist rhetorical site where food, fatness, and the body are reclaimed as acts of resistance. This poster showcases featured speaker Eileen E. Schell and a description of her talk, titled "Engaging Feminist Food Justice in Precarious Times." Her roundtable will focus on her reccent collection "Food Justice Activism." This poster showcases featured speaker Emiliya Mailyan and a description of her talk, titled "Transcendent Nourishment." The talk explores collaborative efforts to design a text that blends recipes with reflective writing, rhetorical inquiry, cultural memory, and critical food studies.

The theme for the year is food; the workshop is entitled, “Food as Intersectional Feminist Work, Resistance, Hope, and Community.” Participants are invited to join them for a day as we engage in various ways food has been explored as a “meaning making practice” and as a “means of communication.”
