This symposium brings together academics, activists and artists from a range of disciplines to discuss the relationship between feminism, queer and neoliberalism. We will consider how feminism and queer have resisted neoliberalism, and how feminism and queer have been complicit with it, but we also want to go beyond that conventional binary framing and engage with the many complexities of that dynamic relationship. The symposium will feature panels on feminism as a brand/commodity, on feminism within/against neoliberalism in international development and social movements, and on activism and art.

This event is free and open to all, but participants must book in advance. You can book here.
