Rethinking Citizenship

Abstract

This panel explores the potential for democratic transformation both within imagined political utopias and in the face of very real anti-democratic movements. The papers consider the role of transnational solidarity, feminist experimentation with concepts such as citizenship, and a range of interventions in the public sphere. They reveal the difficulties facing activists but also identify new directions for feminist research to uncover currently overlooked perspectives and challenge existing narratives.
