Activism and the Academy: Expanding Feminism – Collaborations for Social Justice
BCRW’s commitment to bringing feminist scholars and activists together in conversation and collaboration has been at the center of our work for the past 40 years. Representatives from three organizations with whom we have recently partnered—the National Domestic Workers Alliance, Queers for Economic Justice, and the New York Women’s Foundation— discuss the unique models of feminist action and knowledge that have been produced through BCRW’s scholar-activist partnerships. Panelists include Ai-jen Poo (National Domestic Workers Alliance), Sydnie L. Mosley ’07 (dancer, choreographer and teacher), Amber Hollibaugh (Queers for Economic Justice), and Ana Oliveira (New York Women’s Foundation). This plenary, moderated by Janet Jakobsen (BCRW), took place on the first day of Activism and the Academy: Celebrating 40 Years of Feminist Scholarship and Action, a two-day conference held September 23-24, 2011 in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Barnard Center for Research on Women.
