NWSA virtual conference November plenery: Transnational Feminist Abolitionist Politics
Join us at the 2021 NWSA virtual conference on November 20th at 11AM EST for a plenary discussion!
Unprecedented levels of global hardship and suffering in 2020 were accompanied by stunning eruptions of people gathering on the streets and in public venues protesting systemic oppressions and renewing calls for abolition. From authoritarian regimes to white supremacy, police brutality to military occupation, caste discrimination to gendered and sexualized violence, economic inequality to policy failures, labor exploitation to health disparities, voluminous and vociferous protests have peppered our visual landscape and living experience of the pandemic and illuminated the increasing urgency to co-imagine a different future. In 2020, from Australia to Hong Kong, USA to UK, Brazil to Bangladesh people were marching – masked, undeterred and resistant- demanding attention and justice with bold messages like “Silence is Violence”, “I Can’t Breathe”, and “No Justice No Peace.”
The organizing continues into 2021. These messages and movements lay bare the asymmetries of privilege and oppression, the unevenness of growth and wellbeing, and simultaneously encourage a social transformation that takes seriously interdependencies of life, humanity, and ecology. Panelists will provide commentary and conversation on the lessons of their research and political/community organizing to shed light on how they are thinking about the paradoxes and power of abolitionist politics in the current political moment as well as possibilities in the near and distant future.
The discussion will be from Bina D’Costa, Dana Olwan, Pascha Bueno-Hansen, and M. Adams. Moderated by Elora Chowdhury.
