Feminist and Queer Interventions for Justice, Autonomy, and Sovereignty: LSE Gender Studies Fellows in conversation

This panel brings together three LSE Fellows in Gender Studies to engage in a critical conversation about feminist and queer struggles for autonomy, belonging, and border crossings, drawing on interdisciplinary and multi-scalar approaches. By weaving together the lived experiences of queer Kurds in Northern Kurdistan, migrant women navigating European metropoles, and global movements for feminist and planetary justice, the panel will explore how these seemingly disparate experiences are deeply interconnected. Through examining the intersections of displacement, identity, and resistance, the LSE Gender Studies fellows will highlight how local and global processes shape the struggles for justice, sovereignty, and self-determination across diverse geographies. The discussion aims to illuminate how decolonial, feminist, and queer perspectives not only disrupt existing power structures but also envision new forms of solidarity and transformation in the face of structural violence and planetary crisis.
