Mission Statement
The research section “Transnational and Intersectional Critiques of Power” is a space for junior and mid-career scholars to explore transnational and intersectional critiques of power and inequality in societal areas such as care work and labor, education and pedagogy, health and reproductive rights, queerness and sexuality, family and parenthood, justice, migration, decolonization, democracy, and socio-ecological transformation. Thus, the section proves an interdisciplinary home for scholarly collaborations and exchanges that center relations of power and domination in local and global perspective.
As its central concern, the section aims to gather its members and interlocutors through academic convenings (such as conferences, lectures, and workshops) that support the professional development of its members, for example through day-long symposia for members to present and discuss their research. Furthermore, members of this section come together in reading circles on a regular and ad hoc basis to discuss select scholarly publications that pertain to their interests.
