Please join us for the panel on “Gender and the Technologies of State Violence,” which is part of the Reframing Gendered Violence project at the Center for the Study of Social Difference, presented with the Center for Gender and Sexuality Law, and with support from the Dean of Humanities at Columbia University.
Three leading feminist scholars pose questions to reframe how we should think about gender violence:
WHERE IS SETTLER COLONIALISM IN ANALYSES OF GENDER VIOLENCE?
Sherene Razack (Department of Gender Studies, UCLA), author of Dying From Improvement: Inquests and Inquiries into Indigenous Deaths in Custody, works on indigenous women’s murders and state and police silence in Canada.
SHOULD STATE VIOLENCE AGAINST SCHOOL GIRLS BE CALLED GENDER BASED VIOLENCE?
Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian (Law School, Hebrew University; International Visitor, Columbia Law School), author of Security Theology, Surveillance and the Politics of Fear, works on Israeli security, law, and violence against Palestinians.
WOULD GETTING RID OF THE CONCEPT OF INNOCENCE ENABLE US TO ADDRESS GENDERED AND RACIST VIOLENCE?
Miriam Ticktin (Department of Anthropology, New School University), author of Casualties of Care: Immigration and the Politics of Humanitarianism in France, works on the politics of humanitarianism.
Moderated by Lila Abu-Lughod, Center for the Study of Social Difference
