The Women’s Studies Research Center is proud to announce it will be hosting a Mellon Foundation seminar series, entitled “Imperiled Bodies: Sslavery, Colonialism, Citizenship and the Logics of Gender-Based Violence”. This interdisciplinary John F. Sawyer Seminar will explore gender-based violence and the abiding fiction that it is a natural and inevitable facet of the family, state, and nation. It will investigate the logics and mechanisms by which violence is woven into the ordinary and the institutional structures of heteropatriarchy, colonialism, imperialism, racism, and capitalism.
There will be total of nine sessions, open to the public. Please visit the website for fuller details:
