Interdisciplinarity" means both everything and nothing within Women's Studies because relations between older disciplines and the field of Women's Studies remain unsettled, and perhaps usefully so. Is Women's Studies an interdisciplinary discipline that is in the process of establishing its own methods and canons? If so, which disciplines are being brought into the interdisciplinary soup, and in what proportions? These questions pertain to content, methodologies, and pedagogy. They are pressing because, for a variety of historical reasons, many undergraduate Women's Studies programs in Canada are oriented to the social sciences, notably, sociology and political economy, and they are presentist and activist in their approaches. Students with feminist interests in literature, culture, hi...

This study investigates tattoo removal as a means of identity negotiation using Brewer's (1991) optimal distinctiveness theory as the conceptual foundation. Twenty-two informants who ranged in age from 19 to 43 participated in in-depth interviews telling their stories of tattoo acquisition and removal. Findings unpack the relationship between consumption, disposition, and the different aspects of the self-concept. Informants who felt overly individuated (or assimilated) in a frequently activated social identity group because of tattoo acquisition, compensated for this conflict by enhancing feelings of affiliation (or differentiation) in another frequently activated social identity via tattoo removal. This study extends previous research on the role of consumption in shaping the maintena...
