 Challenging Gender,
Embracing Intersectionality?
A one-day CHASE Symposium
Saturday 28 November
Open University, Camden
In 1989, Kimberle Crenshaw coined the term ‘intersectionality’ as a means to highlight the experience of those ‘multiply burdened’ by their intersecting experiences of race and gender. She notably argued that ‘black women are theoretically erased’ by the ‘tendency to treat race and gender as mutually exclusive categories of experience and analysis’ (139). Twenty-five years on, intersectionality has become an important framework and buzzword in feminist practice, promising to conceptualise and make visible the experiences and voices of those traditionally marginalised by feminism itself.
This symposium will ask: how does our practice as feminist doctoral researchers interrogate, resist, or indeed reinscribe the significance of gender as a singular category of analysis? How useful, practical, or limiting is intersectionality as a methodological framework? Should our practice finally challenge gender and embrace intersectionality?
This one-day interdisciplinary symposium supported by CHASE Cohort Development Fund will be an opportunity for students across the CHASE consortium to present on any aspect of their research relating to Gender and/or Intersectionality.
Call for papers - deadline extension - 18th September
For questions and submission of papers contact Marie-Alix Thouaille

Autonomy of the Self
11 September 11 – 31 October 2015
Private view 6–9 pm 10 September
P21 Gallery, 21 Chalton St, London NW1 1JD
Featuring works by Moufida Fedhila, Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige, Šejla Kamerić, Armenoui Kasparian Saraidari, Sadik Kwaish Alfraji, Nadia Mounier and CHASE funded student Joy Stacey.
Autonomy of Self is a group exhibition bringing together moving image and still photography from across the former Ottoman territories to explore how individuals are using the human image to refuse violence and conflict. The exhibition responds to Ariella Azoulay’s Civil Contract of Photography, expanding on her writing to explore how the lens-based image made in conflict is produced, used and exhibited to create visual representation where political representation is absent.
A seven-week public programme of events accompanies the exhibition, including a symposium with the artists hosted by the Photography and the Archive Research Centre (PARC) at the University of the Arts London.
Supported using public funding by Arts Council England.
Produced with support from the British Institute for the Study of Iraq.
