Post-Graduation Panel – Social Justice Feminism: Where Scholarship and Activism Meet
The Barnard Center for Research on Women celebrated its 40th anniversary this academic year, marking the beginning of its fifth decade of bringing feminist academics and feminist activists together in the service of social justice and social change. In all of our collaborative projects, we work to create feminist knowledge that can be used by researchers, activists, policy makers, scholars, media makers, students, artists, and anyone working in social justice arenas.
This panel will provide an overview of the Center’s many projects and showcase three of our current scholar-activist collaborations: the Feminism and Disability Oral History Project; our Transnational Feminisms Initiative; and our online feminism project.
Panelists include:
- Elizabeth Castelli, Professor of Religion and Acting Director of BCRW
- Ynestra King, feminist author, disability justice activist, and Coordinator of BCRW’s Feminism and Disability Oral History Project
- Lulu Mickelson, Barnard Class of 2015, BCRW student research assistant working on online feminism
- Shayoni Mitra, Assistant Professor of Theater at Barnard College and 2012 Global Symposium Faculty Fellow
- Catherine Sameh, Associate Director of BCRW and Coordinator of BCRW’s Transnational Feminisms Initiative
