Here's the listings for the Global Feminist Movements session that
Valentine Moghadem and I organized for PEWS. We're excited about the
session -- we hope it will prove to be intellectually invigorating
and draw in a wide audience.
We plan on running this session a little differently from the
traditional approach. Val will serve as discussant, and will open
the session by providing an overview of the issues important about
global feminist movements from a PEWS perspective. Each author will
have a few minutes to bring up the key issue that her paper focuses
upon, and why it's important (rather than a traditional paper-reading
format). Finally, Val will discuss the papers, critiquing the arguments
and pushing them into a larger frame.
I believe that Nancy Forsythe and Val organized a roundtable on the
same subject, where they hope that people will come together to discuss
the issues raised at this panel.
Hope to see you all there,
