Transnational Feminisms Transnational feminisms 4 credits Winter term, 2018-19 Dr Sarah Smith Department of Gender Studies Course description This course examines the intersections and antagonisms of transnational feminism, as both a disciplinary perspective and a mode of solidarity and activism. In a world characterized by globalization, neoliberalism and uneven capital accumulation, the course seeks to examine feminist solidarities and solutions in global politics and international organizations, while being attentive to the problematics that are also produced. Given its transnational and globalized focus, the course considers how different groups are positioned and impacted within global politics, and the relations of power that underpin complex experiences. In doing so, it pays attention to broader contexts of globalization and globalizing neoliberalism, drawing on IR and political economy frameworks of analysis. We will therefore engage with debates on the gendered nature of (in)equity and representation within global politics, as well as critically engage with the central question of what transnational feminisms can be and do, and the potentials and pitfalls in transnational feminist solidarities. Given the broad remit of transnational feminisms, the course stays focused through a grounding in IR, global governance and development literature. Learning outcomes 1. Understand concepts and issues associated with transnational feminist strategies, within and outside international institutions. 2. Understand a history of feminist transnational networks and activism. 3. Analyze the impacts and experiences of globalization on different groups of both men and women. 4. Understand complex gendered and other relations of power that structure global inequalities Expectations Mobile phones are not allowed in class and must be on silent and in bags. You can work from a tablet or laptop, but please do not use it to look up unrelated material while in class. Part of participation is also paying attention to your peers and their contributions to discussion. Please minimise disruption by avoiding exiting the class where possible. Please be on time. Please check the learning site regularly – this is where new information and updates will be placed. Assessment All written work for this class is to be submitted electronically via the learning site, and will be processed via Turnitin. This is also how comments and grades will be returned. All work must be fully referenced and include a bibliography following one of the style formats (either footnotes or in- text citations – guides are available via CEU library site). Please do not plagiarise – to do so may result in failure of the assessment or the course. Work submitted late without obtaining an extension will be subject to penalty.

Participation & attendance 20% Critical commentaries (x2) 30% Research project: Research presentation 20% Research essay 30% Participation and attendance – 20%, ongoing Active participation from all students is required. You are expected to attend every seminar and engage actively in the conversation, based on the weekly readings and your understanding/ interpretation of them. Please come to each class prepared for informed discussion – this means bring discussion questions/discussion points with you. In each class I will ask you for discussion questions. Critical commentary 1 – end of Week 4, 15% Write a 750-1000 word critical commentary (also known as a review) of the set readings for one seminar in weeks 2-4 (inclusive). A critical commentary asks you to critically engage with the texts under review and how they speak or relate to each other. Rather than just summarise, you should assess the contribution made and what insights it provides in the study of Transnational Feminisms. Critical commentary 2 – end of Week 7, 15% Write a 750-1000 word critical commentary (also known as a review) of the set readings for one seminar in weeks 5-7 (inclusive). Research project: The research project is a chance for you to explore an issue of your choosing, drawing on the themes, concepts and theories covered in the course. It is an independent research project, and you are expected to read beyond the syllabus. There are two components to the research project: Presentation – Week 11, 20% In week 11, we will hold a mini-conference, at which each student is required to present their research essay. Presentations will be approximately 15 minutes in length, depending on the size of the class. You should: 1) provide a summary of your research question and any case study/ies; 2) outline your main contention and how you will make this case; 3) identify key sources and position your argument in relation to existing literature. This is an opportunity for you to get feedback on any issues or tensions you have come across as well. I would suggest that you think of it as presenting the final draft of your essay – not fully complete, a ‘work in progress’ to some extent, but with depth and development nonetheless. You are required to upload a 100-200 word abstract, with title, for your presentation to the dedicated forum on the learning site by the end of week 9 Research essay – TBC, 30%, Students are required to write a final research essay on their research project of 3000 words (+/- 10%). Your essay is expected to be fully research and referenced and, where applicable, incorporate any feedback from the presentation and abstract submission.

Yet once I started following feminist techniques, letting their travels lead my research in and out of feminisms, I began posing new questions about the histories of ap- propriation and transformation through time, place, and politics. In this task, I have many people to thank. I am deeply grateful to the participants in the feminist self help movement who generously shared time and information with me: Carol Downer, Suzanne Gage, Eileen Schnitger, Shawn Heckert, Monika Franz- nick, Nancy Boothe, Paula Hammock, Peggy Antrobus, and Andaiye. In addition, I would like to acknowledge the enthusiastic assistance of Lorraine Rothman and Dido Hasper, two important figures of the Califor- nia feminist health movement who both died during the writing of this book.

Abstract Supervisor: Professor Fakrul Alam Title: Plurality Redefined: The Emergence of The New Woman in Mukherjee, Divakaruni and Lahiri By: Musarrat Shameem Diasporic studies is not only limited to the physical movements of a group of people from one place to another; rather, they are more effectively viewed as the analysis of the relation among individuals and communities within a specific spatial-geographical formation. A feminist approach to diasporic studies attempts to configure issues of gender, race, class, and nation, among other identitarian markers, with a view to mapping the identity construction of women based on inequity and differences. Many subsets of ideas are linked to diasporic feminist studies among which postcolonial feminism, postmodern feminism, and transnational feminism deal with questions of plurality, difference, and empowerment.

    University of Massachusetts Amherst ScholarWorks@UMass Amherst Women, Gender, Sexuality Studies Faculty Publication Series Women, Gender, Sexuality Studies 2016 Transnational Laura Briggs Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.umass.edu/wost_faculty_pubs Chapter 48 Transnational Laura Briggs The scholarship of transnational feminisms is organized by arguments about even its most basic terms and ethical orientation. Some scholars write that it is an exciting, positive intervention that replaces a hackneyed and unsustainable notion of inter- national female sameness as “global sisterhood” (i.e., Morgan 1984), restores socialist feminism to its rightful place in feminist thought, re-centers US Third World feminism and internationalist solidarity for decolonization, and draws attention to the often bril- liant activism of feminists in the global South focused on issues like food justice and water (Mohanty 1984; Grewal and Kaplan 1994; Kaplan and Grewal 1994; Basu 1995; Das Gupta 2006; Swarr and Nagar 2010; Blackwell 2014). Others mistrust it on oppo- site grounds: it is liberal, Western, white, and through nongovernmental organization (NGOs), private foundations, and even explicit alliance, linked to international orga- nizations (IGOs) such as the World Bank, to globalizing capital, and imperial militaries (Spivak 1996; Alvarez 2000; Fernandes 2013). These two positions, although sometimes opposed to each other, might also both be true: global capitalism and imperial ambition could be the conditions of possibility for transnational

  • Critical Transnational Feminist Praxis
    Introduction Theorizing Transnational Feminist Praxis RICHA NAGAR AND AMANDA LOCK SWARR Arundhati Roy follows in the traditions of Nehru, Gandhi, and many others. She is . using her position as an artist to fi ght for those who do not have a voice and is prepared to suffer the consequences. These are qualities worthy of the highest praise. —Kevin Baker, quoted in The Guardian, Friday, March 8, 2002 The global left media celebrates Arundhati Roy as one of the most infl uen- tial Third World activists resisting U.S. empire. Such celebration, however, does not mean that Roy’s intellectual voice and her political analyses have emerged in isolation from the struggles of activist communities—particu- larly, the Narmada Bachao Andolan—where she has learned many political lessons and developed her analytical frameworks as a part of collectives and movements. In other words, the limelight bestowed on a single activist does not change the reality that all activism is collectively constituted. It is the community of struggle that turns an activist into a hero; the labor of the activist cannot be abstracted from the community. In much the same way, all academic production is necessarily collab- orative, notwithstanding the individualized manner in which authorship is claimed and assigned and celebrity granted to academics as isolated knowl- edge producers. Undergraduate classrooms, graduate seminars, workshops, conferences, academic peer reviews, and fi eldwork-based knowledge produc- tion are all examples of the everyday collaborative spaces and tools through which academics create knowledges and learn to speak to various communi- ties inside and outside of academia.
