Monday March 5 - Non-Academic Feminism Panel
What informs perspectives on Feminism?
How does it feel when your way of thinking and experiences aren’t validated unless someone with recognized credentials agrees with you? Sometimes feminism can ignore or exclude a woman’s perspective if there isn’t a peer reviewed journal describing what she does, or how she feels, or why she acts a certain way.
How can a woman relate to feminism if the word doesn’t translate into her language, or how can a woman relate to feminism if her faith is seen as anti-woman? What if a woman doesn’t want her work to be identified as feminist?
Enjoy an evening listening to four women talk about their perspectives, their experiences with feminism and how that intersects with their racial identities.
