Workshop
On Saturday, October 19, 2019 Bard College Berlin will host the workshop "New Feminisms, New Questions" conceived by faculty member Agata Lisiak.
Through a series of talks, discussions, and workshops, the event aims at unpacking the workings of popular feminisms and discussing the heterogeneity of current feminist movements beyond those that remain most visible in mainstream discourses. "New Feminisms, New Questions" draws on the expertise of our campus community and beyond, featuring exciting contributions from alumnae, current faculty as well as international scholars (DeZIM, Goldsmiths and LSE).
