This seminar addresses core theoretical, methodological, and ethical issues in crafting transnational/postcolonial/anti-racist feminist praxis. It focuses specifically on colonial legacies, feminist anti-capitalist critique, counterhegemonic struggles, and emancipatory knowledge production.
Session I
Frames, Borders, and Passages maps the intellectual, methodological and political terrain exploring feminist critiques of colonialism and the racialized politics of nation-states and citizenship in the context of contemporary transnational, neoliberal, carceral cartographies.
In each session students will be asked to connect: the intellectual and political questions raised by the readings to their own genealogies, and to colonial legacies, neoliberalism, and cross border solidarities in Europe.
Professor of Women‘s and Gender Studies, Sociology, and the Cultural Foundations of Education and Dean‘s Professor of the Humanities
