Gender and Race Critical Research: the Conceptual and the Personal - Philomena Essed Seminar Series 1/5

How can critical thinking about gender, race-ethnicity and racism inform scholarly research? Part 1 of 5 seminars to investigate into that question with visiting scholar Philomena Essed from Antioch University’s Graduate School of Leadership and Change

In this fall semester 2020 Philomena Essed will be the visiting professor of the PhD program Gender Studies CH. Philomena Essed is professor of Critical Race, Gender and Leadership Studies at Antioch University’s Graduate School of Leadership and Change and an affiliated researcher for Utrecht University’s Graduate Gender program. Her research and teaching transcends national, cultural and disciplinary boundaries. Well known for introducing the concepts of everyday racism and gendered racism in the Netherlands and internationally, she also pioneered in developing theory on what she has called social and cultural cloning.

The purpose of this seminar is to discuss ways in which critical thinking about gender, race-ethnicity and racism can inform scholarly research. Although gender and race are primary lenses in the seminar series, the larger context are all forms of systemic injustices. The first session focuses of conceptual development in doing race and gender critical research and its relation to personal experiences and value systems.
