When we decided to go forward with the Spectrum Issue, we wanted to create a print product revolving around experiences of gender, sexuality and femininity. This assortment of stories delve into the interpersonal and the ephemeral, mapping out an array of encounters, circumstances and perceptions.
In this issue, writers look into online fandoms, trans experience within the University’s confines, hurdles for women in journalism school and varying cultural perspectives on menstruation. SPM’s satirist makes the claim for revamping the gender binary, and other writers look at hijabi culture, intersectional identity and how local organizations are providing music education to young women and girls.
