Welcome to the FWSA Virtual Conference

The FWSA Virtual Conference was organised alongside our biennial conference in 2017 to support the work of precarious and marginalised feminist scholars. It provides an online space to discuss cutting edge feminist, gender, and women’s studies research. Below are links to the presentations; we encourage you to carry on conversations prompted by these pieces with the individual scholars themselves.

Anna Gaidash: Impossible Sisterhood: Representations of the Elderly Female Characters in Ripcord

Stephanie Penney Jones: The Role of Women in a Male Dominated Pastime

Katy Pilcher: Resisting (Hetero)Sexism, Resisting the Neoliberalisation of the University: Thinking Creatively about the Teaching and Learning of ‘Sensitive’ Issues Surrounding Gender and Sexualities as a Mode of Resistance.

Astrid Runs: Decolonial-Intersectional Resistance in Dutch Teen Mothers

Lena Wäggren: Conferencing While Casualised: on Privilege and Precarity in UK Higher Education
