Description

'The Politics and Possibilities of Feminist Knowledge Production'. Friday 10th November, 2-4.30pm at Stewart House, 32 Russell Square, London WC1B 5DN (hybrid in person / online)

This event brings together a panel of speakers from the LSE Department of Gender Studies and the Gender Institute at Royal Holloway, University of London, in conversation about the contours of feminist knowledge production and representation in different social, political, material and institutional contexts.

In what ways do epistemologies of gender and feminism open up new modes of knowing and being, and where do they become entangled in, or complicit with, established power structures, including within the neoliberal academy?

How should we understand the centre and the margins of contemporary feminism, and of gender studies? What are the differences that matter in how we reproduce and/or contest feminist knowledge in activism and scholarship?
