Dr. Hossein’s Presentation:
IAFFE Conference Plenary Session: Sparking & Sustaining Solidarity Across Feminist Movements
Description
What do we mean when we say “solidarity”? What does solidarity look like in action, and how do we ensure this action upholds a feminist approach that underscores our efforts across movements?
Plenary speakers will engage in a dialogue on how current political climates across the globe are impacting them and the movements in which they work. The session will explore the interconnected nature of this impact, as well as how cross-movement solidarity and collaboration can be a beacon of hope, community, and progress at a time of roll backs to rights and gender equality. It will also highlight promising practices and lessons learned from tangible solidarity tactics they have experienced. Underscoring this interdisciplinary exploration will be the current and potential role of feminist economics.
The session will dive deep into the question of what solidarity means in today’s contexts (and beyond), feminist economics’ role in this, and offer tangible actions of cross-movement solidarity. Speakers will share reflections on the challenges and hope their movement is experiencing, explore the possibilities of collective action and community, and highlight effective solidarity strategies that have propelled them thus far and can be replicated for feminist futures.
