Thursday, 1 April 2021 - 5.00pm
Location: 
Online webinar

A series of conversations on international legal scholarship, political engagement and the transformative potential of academia. Each conversation is chaired by Francisco José Quintana and Marina Veličković and centres around a theme, concept or a method and their relationship to political movements, struggles and margins from which they have emerged and within (and for) which they have emancipatory potential.

The event will start at 5 p.m. (GMT)

This conversation will centre around the relationship between TWAIL and Feminism as theoretical approaches and political projects. Throughout the session we hope to explore how the conjunctures and disjunctures between these approaches can open up space for articulating a different, more transformative kind of emancipatory politics. The event will last one hour. Marina and Francisco will lead the conversation for ~40 minutes after which they will pass the pleasure and responsibility on to the audience.
