On 17 November 2021 the seminar Who’s Afraid of Feminisms? Decolonizing and Queering Feminist Ethnography will be held, organised by Lova members Tine Davids and Kathrine van den Bogert in cooperation with Jasmijn Rana and Loes Oudenhuijsen.
How do we make decolonizing and queering movements productive within feminist ethnography? Lova Network and its members have a long history of debating and advancing feminist ethnography in- and outside of Dutch and European cultural anthropology departments (i.e. Davids & Willemse 1999, 2014, Nencel 2014, Van Santen et al. 2016). During this study day, we build on this legacy to discuss and further the future of feminist ethnography. We invite you to join us on November 17 at Radboud University Nijmegen, to explore these two specific movements. How do decolonizing and queering practices intersect and reinforce feminist ethnography (i.e. Visweswaran 1994, Weiss 2016)? Or do they rather deviate from and grind against the philosophies of feminist ethnography? This program presents speakers that engage with these questions from their own practice and experience and discuss them with the audience. Join us!
