Feministing in Political Science
Edited by Alana Cattapan, Ethel Tungohan, Nisha Nath, Fiona Macdonald and Stephanie Paterson
Tuesday November 19, 2024
5:30PM
Hall Building Room H-1220
Certain excerpts from the edited volume will be read by contributors (Michael Orsini, Jamilah Dei-Sharpe, Chamindra Weerawardhana, Ethel Tungohan, Nisha Nath, Fiona MacDonald, Kelly Aguirre and Nicole Bernhardt) followed by a Q & A session and a wine and cheese reception. Moderated by Dr Francesca Scala.
Feministing in Political Science examines what is at stake in contesting the boundaries of the contemporary university. This critique of mainstream Canadian political science pushes beyond typical studies of institutions and political life. Instead, the collection draws together personal essays, pedagogical interventions, dialogues, and original research to reflect on how “feministing” as an orientation and as an analytic can centre experiential knowledge and reshape our understandings of political science. Collectively, these contributions lay bare the ways that power moves in and through the academy, naming the impacts on those who are most structurally precarious, all while pointing to futures available to us through refusal, solidarity, and hope.
