For International Women’s Day, the fifth As for Protocols seminar explores the theme of revolutionary feminisms, and the multi-scalar and trans-historical practices they embody. In doing so, we examine what protocols we want and need for remaking the world, especially in the context of social reproduction, gendered labor, care and kinship, solidarity, and internationalism. We pay special attention to how revolutionary feminist protocols work across space and time through political education, forms of organizing, movement history, gender representation, and collaborative creativity. The seminar is convened with New School faculty Ujju Aggarwal, Assistant Professor of Anthropology and Experiential Learning, Schools of Public Engagement, and Laura Y. Liu, Associate Professor of Global Studies and Geography, Eugene Lang College. Together, Aggarwal and Liu also run Praxis Tank, a working group housed within Global Studies at The New School, dedicated to elevating knowledge born from freedom struggles; and the practices, pedagogies, and experiments that advance collective transformation and movements for liberation.
