Activism and the Academy: Using Knowledge, Advancing Activism

Description

How can activists use knowledge to advance their
campaigns? How can scholars and activists work collaboratively to
produce and promote knowledge that is grounded in feminist and social
justice frameworks? Activists who have been able to produce and use
knowledge to initiate change across numerous issues contribute to
this conversation about the uses of knowledge in activist work.
Panelists include Rinku Sen (Applied Research Center), Dean Spade '97
(University of Seattle School of Law), and Jamia Wilson (Women's Media
Center). This discussion, moderated by Laura Flanders '85 (GRITtv), took
place on the second day of Activism and the Academy: Celebrating 40
Years of Feminist Scholarship and Action, a two-day conference held
September 23-24, 2011 in honor of the 40th anniversary of the Barnard
Center for Research on Women.
