In recent years, feminist scholarship and gender studies have come under increasing attack from right-wing politicians across the globe. This symposium aims to shed light on the intersection of feminism and fascism, examining how the rise of fascist ideologies poses a threat to gender studies, feminism, and LGBTQ rights in Europe, Latin America, and the United States.
The symposium will feature presentations and discussions by some of the world’s leading experts in the field, providing valuable insights into the current challenges and prospects for feminist movements worldwide. Attendees will also engage with a new podcast dedicated to exploring the complex relationship between feminism, fascism, and the future.
Organized annually by the GSFS Program in collaboration with the Feminist Resource Center at Chellis, the Gensler Family Symposium on Feminism in the Global Arena has been a platform for addressing pressing issues through a feminist lens since its inception in 2008.
