Solidarities across Borders: Art, Activism, and Activist Research in Boston (Massachusett Territory) and Beyond

Session Submission Type: Workshop

Abstract

The Otros Saberes section’s commitment to collaborative, transformative research and exchange between differently-positioned knowledge producers animates our second annual pre-conference. Solidarities across Borders will highlight the intersections of art, activism, and research, cultivating dialogue between Boston-area activists, activist scholars, and LASA members for a day of collective reflection on the possibilities of and challenges to building alliances across different forms of knowledge and struggle. With roundtables on transnational struggles for indigenous sovereignty, immigrant justice, gender equality, workers’ rights, and racial justice in greater Boston (Massachusett Territory) and across the Americas, we invite you to spend the day with us considering how collaborative research and cultural production can support, uplift, and produce new understandings of these struggles for justice.
