Registration Accompanied Seminar
In recent years we have seen new and more efforts and voices speaking out to decolonize academia worldwide. What does it mean to decolonize gender studies? Why is it important, what does it entail and where are the limitations? The discussion with Prof. Madina Tlostanova (Professor of Postcolonial Feminism, University of Linköping) and Dr. Redi Koobak (Postdoctoral Fellow, University of Bergen) on April 26 2022 will approach these questions in regard to gender studies.
This talk is part of the Spring term lecture series Decolonize University! Re-imagining Theories and Practices of Knowledge Production which aims to create a dialogue about decolonisation and foster connections across scholarships by bringing together our conversations at the University of Basel with invited guests. The series is co-organised by Tina Bopp (PhD candidate in Gender Studies, member of G3S), Julia Büchele (Coordinator G3S), Emilio Distretti (Postdoctoral Fellow, Critical Urban Studies) and Julia Wartmann (PhD student in Political Science, member of G3S) and supported by the Graduate School of Social Sciences (G3S).
