In this face to face event, Dr Akane Kanai will join us in person to discuss her recent Feminist Theory article on intersectionality in digital feminist knowledge cultures – available here.

Akane will present the article briefly, and then we will discuss the article with her. The discussion will be open, informal and inclusive, and will also offer a wonderful opportunity for staff and students (both undergraduate and postgraduate) at Warwick (and beyond) to discuss their own research and questions on topics related to social media, online feminist and anti-racist activism, intersectionality, gender and race, digital knowledge cultures, affect and identity online, and travelling theories.

The event is free and open to all, but advance registration is required. You can register here.
