About this talk
A cross-disciplinary LSE roundtable discussion and conversation between three world-leading scholars of transnational feminism reflecting on the vibrancy, diversity and contestations of transnational feminisms across time and place and on the legacies of the UN Decade for Women and broader movements of transnational feminism historically and in our contemporary moment. The UN Decade for Women 1975 was a seminal moment in advancing and galvanising transnational feminist struggles. The LSE exhibition highlighted the multifaceted plural nature of feminist struggles around the world, which called for equality alongside struggles against slavery, suffrage, imperialism, colonialism, fascism, capitalism, and militarism. The event will be followed by a drinks reception to which all are invited. Join us on campus or register to watch the event online at LSE Live.
