The Global Conference on Women and Gender - Gender, Politics, and Everyday Life: Power, Resistance, and Representation
We have reserved the same theme from our postponed 2020 conference: Gender, Politics and Everyday Life: Power, Resistance and Representation.
This interdisciplinary conference brings together participants from all academic fields to engage in wide-ranging conversations on gender and politics around the world. While formal politics loom large in 2020, we encourage an expansive understanding of political action and expression, inspired by Carol Hanisch’s essay, “The Personal is Political,” which sees all relationships of power as political and connects women’s experiences, self-expression, and values to their lives as political actors and subjects.
