Decolonising Feminist Publishing, by Srila Roy

Details

This talk will present a chapter from a book-in-progress, tentatively called Dissonant Intimacies: doing transnational feminism in the global South. While the bulk of the book concerns higher education in India and South Africa, this chapter turns to feminist decolonising imperatives operating out of the global North. I reflect on how the doing of transnational feminism at this scale might forge something beyond a reiteration of Western epistemic hierarchies and Northern institutional agendas around the production and circulation of feminist knowledge (or not).

Srila Roy is Professor of Sociology at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. Her long-standing research and teaching expertise is in the area of transnational feminist studies.
