Board Room, Philosophy Faculty, Sidgwick Site ------------------------------------------------------------------- Title: Cross-Fadings - Epistemological Reflections on Racism and Migration in Feminist and Antiracist Knowledge Production Abstract: This paper investigates how racism and migration can be theorised in relation to each other in feminist and antiracist knowledge production situated in or focused on postcolonial Europe. Drawing on postcolonial approaches, I analyse academic knowledge productions and media representations to carve out the interconnection of racialisation and migratisation with class and gender. To make discrimination 'accessible' to critical knowledge production, I engage in an epistemological discussion of the potentials and challenges of differentiating analytical categorisations. Thus, offering this differentiation between racism and migratism is intended to intervene productively in a field already concerned with intersections of power relations, yet struggling to make sense of how to characterise the different discriminations that are experienced in a mobile and global world. ------------------------------------------------------------------- We will be taking the speaker to dinner afterwards.
