We are pleased to announce the details of the funded workshops for the year 2024 - 25.
Narrating Pluriversal Feminisms
After a successful and popular three-part series of workshops on ‘Pluriversal Feminisms and Multispecies Justice: Thinking with/from the Global South’ that Dr Niharika Pandit's (School of Politics and International Relations) and Dr Swati Arora's (School of the Arts) organised between March and May 2024 through the support of IHSS Early Career Workshop funding scheme grant, they are keen to carry forward these discussions and give them form as an edited book collection. They will organise a few London-based writing workshops/retreats for their select workshop participants. These writing workshops will allow participants to collectively give shape to our edited book; co-producing its thematic focus, form and shape in the spirit of generating collaborative, praxis-oriented knowledge with non-university partners for wider reach and decolonising academic research.
Co-Authoring Skillshare
Following feminist participatory methodologies aiming to trigger processes of knowledge co-production, PhD researchers Zinabu Shaibu (School Business and Management) and Rachele Shamouni-Naghde (School of Geography) will organise a series of three workshops to explore exciting ways of using co-authorship, using a flattened anti-hierarchical approach on a skillshare basis, so that all participants will share their experiences of writing collaboratively in the academy.
Inhuman Reparations
IHSS Fellows Drs Archie Davies and Elsa Noterman both from the School of Geography organising an interdisciplinary workshop bringing together experts in inhuman law, environmental reparations, arts, philosophy, anthropology, architecture, and more. It is being co-sponsored by research groups in the School of Geography, as well as the Faculty Research Centres the City Centre and the Forum on Decentring the Human.
Where with? Place-based Pedagogies via Anti-colonial Feminisms
This one-day workshop, lead by Dr Kate Lewis Hood (School of the Arts) in collaboration with colleagues in the School of Geography, will generate and nurture cross-disciplinary conversations around place-based pedagogies in research and teaching. The workshop focuses on how these practices can respond to ongoing legacies of empire, capitalism, and environmental breakdown in contemporary space-making, via anti-colonial feminist methods and perspectives.
Previously Funded Activities
On Direct Action
Dr Charlotte Jones (School of the Arts) led two days of creative performances, workshops, film screenings and talks that took the 130th anniversary of the ‘Greenwich Bomb Outrage’ as an opportunity to bring organisers, activists, scholars and artists together.
Pluriversal feminisms and multispecies justice: Thinking with/from the Global South
Dr Niharika Pandit's (School of Politics and International Relations) and Dr Swati Arora's (School of the Arts) three-part workshop series sought to foster and sustain cross-disciplinary, cross-movement and transnational conversations on pluriversality, feminist theory and multispecies justice in contemporary times by centring decolonial and Indigenous scholarship and coalitional thinking from the Global South.
