Global Development Studies Speaker Series presents:
Feminist Political Ecology World Making with Dr. Wendy Harcourt.
Abstract: Dr. Harcourt probes into what it means to be a feminist and a political activist concerned about the environmental justice undertaking research in today's neoliberal university. The talk draws on my experience of coordinating a large EU funded network entitled "Wellbeing, Ecology Gender, and cOmmunity (WEGO)" that brought together around 40 people - mentors and 15 PhDs - on a four-year project that explored feminist political ecology.
Dr. Wendy Harcourt is Professor of Gender, Diversity, and Sustainable Development at the International Institute of Social Studies of the Erasmus University Rotterdam.
