Lisa Diedrich Assistant Professor Women's Studies Program Stony Brook University Stony Brook, NY 11794-3456 ldiedrich@notes.cc.sunysb.edu

Lisa Diedrich received her Ph.D. from the Institute for Women's Studies at Emory University in August 2001. She is currently completing two book projects: in the first, entitled Treatments, she analyzes contemporary memoirs on the experience of illness as both effective and affective histories, that is, histories that are attentive both to the rhetoric and practices of politics as well as to the poetics and practices of suffering; the second project is a volume co-edited with Victoria Hesford, entitled Feminist Time Against Nation Time. This collection will bring together essays that investigate both how feminist voices challenge the emergency time of nationalism and war, as well as how such challenges transform feminism and work to bring into being the time of feminism. Our book presents transnational and interdisciplinary case studies that trace a genealogy of feminist responses to war and nationalism.
