November 17 and December 1, 2022

Mini-Series co-organized by Vanessa Thompson and Katherine Mazurok: Legacies of War. Imperialisms, Racisms and Transnational Feminist Solidarities

        Nov 17: War(s) in Europe. The Invasion of Ukraine, Racism and Resistance
        Dec 1: Global Wars and Solidarities

This series aims to interrogate, from a transnational feminist perspective, articulations and politics of war, in their many forms and on a global scale. We ask how we can challenge global hierarchies in the perceptions of war, imperialisms, racisms as well as move towards building transnational feminist, anti-imperialist and anti-racist solidarities.

Our first roundtable, November 17th, entitled “War(s) in Europe. The Invasion of Ukraine, Racism and Resistance” engages with the interlocking impacts of the Russian war in Ukraine and discusses how these are tied to legacies of racism, border imperialism and neoliberalism in Europe and beyond. This panel attends to the converging and diverging Black/African, Roma and Ukrainian perspectives, critiques and impacts of the war.
