Response to Lois Helmbold, "Women's Studies in Sin City: Reactionary Politics and Feminist Possibilities"

In the last issue of the NWSA Journal, Lois Helmbold offered an account of her experiences as chair of the Women's Studies Department at the University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) in, "Women's Studies in Sin City: Reactionary Politics and Feminist Possibilities." Three years as the head of the department have given Helmbold a point of view that is different from the other members of the wider Women's Studies community at UNLV. Here, Brents et al present their perspective on their location at UNLV.
