Panel Gendering International Relations Working Group

Description

In times of rising domestic and international inequalities, gendered violence and discrimination, militarism, conflict as well nuclear threat, it becomes important to investigate the significance of feminist protest, solidarities and care within and across borders. What is more it is important to offer feminist analyses of the gendered and liberal dynamics of seemingly humanitarian initiatives that lay claim to be steeped in care and a commitment to transnational solidarity. This panel is composed of five papers that in a variety of ways address the issue of feminist solidarities, care and humanitarianism, including cultural protest, anti-nuclear activism as well as non-western forms of internationalisms, all offering critical analysis of such practices, while exploring their feminist underpinnings. What is more the panel unpacks new forms of knowledge production and notions of care and relate that discussion to feminist values and norms as well as transnational movements more broadly.
