The Annenberg Transnational Feminist Networks Symposium — Presented by the Annenberg Center for Collaborative Communication
About
Join the Annenberg Center for Collaborative Communication for a symposium on Transnational Feminist Networks.
This two-day transnational feminist networks symposium explores the development, maintenance, and challenges of feminist solidarities in our globalized world. Amidst a decade of global feminist resurgence fueled by hashtags, neoliberal consumerism, and self-identification, we highlight the enduring work of transnational feminist networks. These networks, spanning digital and physical space, actively contest the global rise of far-right populism, gender-based discrimination, and systemic violence against feminized bodies. Organized by graduate students, this event promises robust discourse spanning academia, activism, and the arts. Through an immersive art exhibition, keynote addresses, and interactive workshops, we aim to amplify marginalized voices and foster collaboration. By providing a platform for rigorous examination and forward-looking engagement, we aim to propel feminist scholarship and activism globally.
Transnational Feminist Networks is organized by the Annenberg Center for Collaborative Communication (Annenberg C3) and will be hosted at the Annenberg School for Communication at the University of Pennsylvania. Co-sponsored by the Center for the Advancement of Global Communication (CARGC) with additional support from the Center for Digital Culture & Society (CDCS), The Wolf Humanities Center, and the Center for Latin American and LatinX Studies (CLALS)
The event includes a Thursday evening keynote (12th September 2024) event and a full day of Friday panels (13th September 2024) and a contemporary art exhibition, Present Futures: Experiments in Feminist Futurity.
The event will be in-person and open to the public.
