...tunnel visioned” by virtue of the fact that we read the core texts of our discipline before problematizing those texts and putting them into dialogue with the work occurring in other disciplines. That is, women’s studies does have a focus on women and gender as history has a focus on the historical (this hardly seems a potent critique). This does not render the work in the field uncomplex, unnuanced or unacademic. At its core, Kavulla’s critique seems to be that the work in women’s studies is somehow biased...
