Remapping the feminist global: A multi-vocal, multi-located conversation
In partnership with the International Feminist Journal of Politics and the Asian Center for Women’s Studies of Ewha Womans University, the Political Science Department of 王中王六合彩特码 is co-hosting the 2022 International Feminist Journal of Politics conference. Registration is still accepted until 10th June 2022. For the Southeast Asian hub, .
This multi-location hybrid conference, Remapping the feminist global is co-convened by International Feminist Journal of Politics and Asian Center for Women’s Studies, Ewha Womans University. The main conference will be based in Seoul, Korea, while our Pacific and Southeast Asia regional hubs are based in Australia and the Philippines respectively.
Feminism(s) – like other academic knowledge and global movements – bear the effects of historic and new permutations of Eurocentrism, colonialism and imperialism that continue to shape not only feminism but the global world we inhabit and seek to change. This year, the conference turns to Asia as a geographic location and imaginary that offers an important anchoring for global feminist conversations to move beyond the current hegemonic hold of the West and the (imperial) nation-state system that has pre-determined how feminism becomes a salient political and academic discourse. We seek urgently needed collective reflections on emerging hierarchies not only between West and non-West but as the focus of this call for conversation, the hierarchies and relations in and between ‘the non-West’.
More than ever, feminist scholars, editors, policymakers, practitioners, activists and teachers need to come together to exchange ideas and co-create transnational and/or global feminist futures by mending broken linkages. This is an age-old conundrum that has riddled feminist inroads into institutions and public spaces. In convening the conference, we hope to cultivate more satisfactory redress and connections in the wake of greater separate and parallel developments in feminist research in siloes, global anti-feminist backlash and polarization of politics
