The main aim of this international, interdisciplinary conference is to examine ways in which the concept and practice of movement – understood variously as migration, upheaval, relocation – is inscribed into the theory and practice of feminisms. In the context of such practice and theory, movement can assume unsettling meanings and can reveal or point to subversive ways of living, especially in and across (our understandings of) the nation states. We invite speakers interested in exploring what the right to move (in a variety of senses) entails, and for whom, whether it can shelter us from power, who is moved by feminism and how movement allows us to (re)define the notion of political movements.
Dr. Ruth DyckFehderau (University of Alberta) will give the keynote lecture.
