Activism and the Academy: Using Knowledge, Advancing Activism

from Barnard Center for Research on Women Hosted by Barnard Center for Research on Women

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.
