70.035 - Feminist Community Engagement: Achieving Praxis
Mon, April 20, 8:15 to 10:15am, Swissotel, Floor: Event Centre First Level, Zurich CSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
This symposium argues that feminism, with its emphasis on consciousness-raising, interrogating power structures, and activism, is strategically necessary for the community engagement (CE) movement in higher education. Following an overview of perspectives on feminism and community engagement, the contributors to this symposium illuminate successes and challenges of feminist community engagement, and many offer practical applications for our CE work. Our dialogue aims to advance how feminism can serve as a theoretical and practical strategy for combining activist engagement with democratic concerns for social justice and equality.
