Gender relations are global. They are key to understanding how the world works today. War, globalisation, sexuality, migration, representation, employment, media, history - all of these are gendered. If you are interested in global power relations, a gender analysis is essential.

Feminist Judgment - 25 May, 10.00-5.30pm|

This one day symposium seeks to explore the nature and problem of feminist judgment. This is an opportune moment to visit the issue, for a number of recent works address the question of how to make judgments while still retaining and building on the critiques feminists have developed of humanism, universalism, and coercive normativity.

With Linda Zerilli, Jennifer Nedelsky, Clare Hemmings, Kim Hutchings and Sonia Kruks. Chaired by Anne Phillips.
