Voluntary Associations and Civil Society: Legacies of Systemic Inequality
Sat, August 8, 8:00 to 9:30am, TBASession Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)
Description
This open session invites papers that examine how voluntary associations and forms of civil society have both reflected and challenged enduring inequalities of gender, race/ethnicity, and class. We welcome work on mutual benefit organizations, sites of organized resistance, care networks, and counter-spaces past and present. Submissions are encouraged to address how these groups have negotiated, reproduced, or subverted systemic structures over time.
