Decolonial Feminist Forum
When:
—
Venue:
Online
The Decolonial Feminist Forum resumes, meeting online in our usual slot at 5pm on Friday evenings. During the spring term we will take stock of the past two years in which the pandemic changed our daily lives, work patterns and ways of socialising beyond recognition, affecting different communities differently and affecting those already marginalised and disenfranchised the most. During this term we will turn to the wealth of online content that has become available during the pandemic when most public events migrated into the digital realm. We aim to reflect on this material together by returning to selected talks that helped us think through decolonial and feminist politics and practices.
In the January session we will discuss the recent lecture by Professor Faye V. Harrison entitled 'Reckoning with Dread: Dilemmas of Democracy – When All Lives Don't Matter', delivered in November 2021. Those who sign up to attend will be sent a link to the lecture in advance and we would like to ask you to watch it (duration: 1 hr, 45 min) prior to our meeting and bring one issue or question for us to discuss. In the meeting we will discuss the issues everyone brought forward and will leave time to discuss ideas for future DFF sessions.
