Gender, Power & Revitalising Feminism: Feminism Now in Academia, Services and Activism

A forum by the Southgate Families @ Flinders research network for International Women's Day 2010.

Feminism has pushed the boundaries of critical thinking and equitable practice and action in many aspects of our lives and culture. Key to the influence of feminism has been its specialisation over several decades in academia, women's organisations and activism. While each has developed its own capacity, these forms of feminism have progressively lost their connections to each other and to broader social movements, making them vulnerable to many forms of attack from entrenched dominant interests. This forum will explore potential spaces for revitalising feminism through reconnecting thinking, practice and activism.
