journal is here!</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">In their introduction titled “Neurotic Loops and the Limits
of Awareness: Toward New Apertures for Activist- Oriented RHM Work,” co-editors
Cathryn Molloy and Kim Hensley Owens write that they are “calling on emerging
RHM voices to work within the apertures of existing loops in RHM bodies of
knowledge and to move beyond ‘awareness’ as an end and turn toward action”—and this
is the kind of work that can be found in 5.4.</p>
