Disruptions and Eruptions

This interdisciplinary colloquium seeks to interrogate the places of feminism in a society “unhinged,” when the compass-needle fingers no longer pretend to point true north when asked who’s to blame for such “destruction.” Mobilized by these dubious times, we broadly investigate: how can feminist inquiry disrupt systemic norms and institutional barriers that have been reified in contemporary political and societal landscapes? And how do active engagements with intersectional feminist methods promote a liberatory politics in times of crisis that erupt into the present?
Our two-day, virtual conference includes symposia, poster presentations, roundtable discussions, art, poetry readings, and performances.
Topics include:

• Transnational Feminisms
• COVID-19
• Black Feminisms
• Feminist Theory and Methods
• Psychological Inquiry of Masculinity and Femininity
• Feminist Pedagogy
• Textual Feminist Analysis
• Trans Feminisms
• And more!
