Post- and Decolonial Approaches: Theoretical Perspectives and Insights for Work and Organisations

What Difference does Difference make? Transnational Feminist and (Im)Possible Solidarities

hybrid event

18th May 3:00-5:00 pm

Prof. Dr. Nikita Dhawan (Technische Univertät Dresden)

"What Difference does Difference make? Transnational Feminist and (Im)Possible Solidarities".

Venue: KLE 01 EG 5, hybrid

“Is the formative concept of intersectionality an efficacious tool for understanding complex power relations in society and for achieving justice for marginalized constituencies or does it inadvertently consolidate the hegemony of an entitled majority by failing to realize the emancipatory possibilities it promises? This talk engages with intersections, but also the tensions between key categories like race, class, gender, sexuality, religion and caste from a transnational postcolonial-queer-feminist perspective. The focus will be on the relevance of intersectionality as a »travelling theory« for the Global South as well as with the recent controversial debates in Germany on whether intersectional feminism foregrounds categories of race and gender over class and antisemitism.”

Lecture Series

“Post- and Decolonial Approaches: Theoretical Perspectives and Insights for Work and Organisations”

Summer Term 2022

Faculty of Society and Economics

Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences

(on campus / hybrid)

The lecture series aims to give insights into post- and decolonial theories and research, opening up a critical view on organisations as a main site and mode of societal reproduction in postindustrial economies. Based on these, we want to discuss basic concepts such as cooperation and inclusion, intersectionality, and global entanglement and insights we can gain for work and organizations. The lecture series is part of the module „Organisation Studies“ in the study program Gender and Diversity, B.A., taught by Prof. Dr. Ingrid Jungwirth.

The lectures take place in a hybrid format on campus in Kleve (KLE 01 EG 5) and are open to all students and staff of Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences as well as to an audience external to the university.

If you are unable to participate in person, please register for online participation by sending an email to Jessica-Lea.Roberts@hsrw.org by noon the day before the event.
