Abstract

Gender activism and feminist theory has - in their shifting connections to a wider context of e.g. worker’s movements, anticolonial struggles, peace movements, anti-racist movements and climate movements –   contributed to both the protest repertoires of other social movements and to the development of political theory, historiography and epistemology.

The talk will reflect on how an integrated study of the history of gender movements and plural feminist theories can be used as a prism to develop political theory and explore issues and questions like:

  • The epistemologies of gender-histories.
  • How to diversify knowledge production?
  • How to research and write global and transdisciplinary history books?
