Activism and the Academy: Academic / Activist Partnerships in Mexico
Update: 2011-09-24
Description
What types of projects are possible when scholars and
activists work together? Scholars in the Gender Studies Program at the
National Autonomous University of Mexico have formed partnerships with
activist groups to address issues like state oppression and violence,
struggles for land rights and indigenous rights, and gender equity both
within the University and in the community at large. Scholar and
activist participants in these projects discuss how they've
combined traditional academic tools with new ways of intervention to
create change. Panelists include Marisa Belausteguigoitia Rius, Rian
Lozano de la Pola, Lorena Wolffer and Helena Lopez. This discussion,
moderated by Margaret Cerullo, took place on the second day of Activism
and the Academy: Celebrating 40 Years of Feminist Scholarship and
Action, a two-day conference held September 23-24, 2011 in honor of the
40th anniversary of the Barnard Center for Research on
Women.
