from Sydney Ideas · host Sydney Ideas
It’s the 21st century, 100 years since Australian women were lucky enough to get the vote, and we’ve arrived at the age of Pussyriot and Pussyhats. How did women get here? What does this augur for the future of feminism as a world-wide phenomenon, now drawing a new generation of activists, in some cases connecting them with earlier feminist waves? What is the impact of events in the US in particular for a standard of feminist politics everywhere? In an age when all social movements have a global scope, a panel of feminist academics with specific areas of geopolitical expertise on the US, UK, Russia, and Australia, come together to discuss these questions. Speakers: - Professor Glenda Sluga, P, ARC Laureate Fellow, Professor of International History, FAHA, the University of Sydney - Dr Philippa Hetherington, University College London (UCL) - Associate Professor Laura J Shepherd, , UNSW Sydney - Anna Hush, University of Sydney student Held as part of Sydney Ideas, The Thinker's Guide to the 21st century series on 23 August 2017: http://sydney.edu.au/sydney_ideas/lectures/2017/thinkers_guide_21st_century_2017.shtml
