UPDATE: Wednesday 11 March. This event has been postponed. LSE apologises for any inconvenience caused. It is hoped the event will be rescheduled for a later date.
What does a 'feminist perspective' allow in research? How do we understand the relationship between 'gender research' and 'feminist research'? How do we know research to be feminist, queer and/or postcolonial? What questions does that raise for our work?
This session for LSE Gender MSc Students aims to explore the possibilities and tensions inherent to gender/feminist research. The discussion will be led by first-year PhD students who will reflect on these questions by presenting their project's engagement(s) with feminist theory, epistemology and/or methodology. We hope that everyone in the room will be an active participant in the discussion that follows; for what is at stake in these questions is something that affects us all as LSE Gender students and thinking through what it means to say we are working with(in) gender studies.
LSE holds a wide range of events, covering many of the most controversial issues of the day, and speakers at our events may express views that cause offence. The views expressed by speakers at LSE events do not reflect the position or views of The London School of Economics and Political Science.
