The labeling of foreign policies as "feminist" originated with OECD members such as Sweden, Canada, and France before being adopted by various Latin American governments, starting with Mexico. The region's strong commitment to women's and gender rights in international forums is attributed to a well-connected feminist movement. In this lecture, Prof. Solomón will address the shared foundation of OECD and Latin America's feminist foreign policies, emphasizing progressive stances on women's and gender rights and highlight Latin America's distinctive approach, notably its focus on promoting domestic women's rights rather than those of external communities, in contrast to OECD countries.
In Remnants, tattooed and scar-bearing bodies reveal a larger history, as the lived trauma of genocide is understood through bodies, skin, and—in what remains of those lives a century afterward—bones. Gathering individual memories and archival fragments of women survivors, Elyse Semerdjian offers a feminist interpretation of the Armenian Genocide, and issues a call to break open the archival record in order to embrace affect and memory.
With panelists: Giselle Carino, Hawon Jung, and Chantal Umuhoza- please join us for a zoom panel focused on learning from experts on reproductive justice movements, research, and action in various regions around the world including Latin America, Asia, and Africa.
