There has been growing concern over the impact of transnational anti-gender politics in the
past years. Yet the knowledge production ensuing from it still tends to overlook many
problematic contradictions within both anti-gender and feminist mobilisations. Critiques of
transnational conservative alliances often fall into orientalist tropes: highly complex and
strategic political coalitions thus become portrayed as culturally backward, underdeveloped,
and prone to religious obscurantism. Meanwhile, the targeting of historically oppressed
minorities (trans, queer, racialised groups), which also exists within some feminist
movements whether they mobilise or contest the anti-gender rhetoric, remains concerningly
under-addressed.
This roundtable challenges the ‘West knows best’ premise underpinning international
feminist discussions on anti-gender politics. We will discuss the inner complexities within
feminist and conservative movements, drawing on research and advocacy work from diverse
regions in Latin America and Europe, and centring the perspectives of historically silenced
voices.
With the participation of current and former EUTOPIA-SIF fellows Maryna Shevtsova, Carla
Tomazini, and Sarah Werner Boada (speakers), Liz Ablett (discussant), and chaired by
Maria do Mar Pereira on behalf of the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender.
Hot vegetarian and vegan food as well as coffee and tea will be served for in-person
participants from 12pm before the roundtable.
The roundtable discussion will take place from 1 to 3pm British Summer Time. Attendance is
free of charge and the event is hybrid with an option for online participation via MS Teams.
Please register at this link by Monday 3rd June to attend the event in person or online.
