''Decolonising Feminism’ Workshop

Building 67 Room 202 (67.202) 26 July 2pm -4pm

PROVOCATION

The decolonisation of feminism requires that when we consider feminist issues, we are careful not to view them from a colonial, Western-centric perspective. What does this mean for you personally, and for your research, teaching or creative practice?

FORMAT

▪ Understanding ‘Decolonising’ practices for research and teaching (by FRN Convenors)

▪ Brief presentation with provocations (by Dr Intan Paramaditha)

▪ Discussion in groups
