Difference, Diversity, Diffraction: Confronting Hegemonies and Dispossessions

Roselyn Masamha presented at the 10th European Feminist Research Conference "Difference, Diversity, Diffraction: Confronting Hegemonies and Dispossessions" which took place from the 12th - 15th of September 2018 in Göttingen, Germany. Roselyn jointly with the editors and other authors also launched the recently published and latest Teaching with gender book.

This international conference takes place every three years since 1991, each time hosted at a different European University. It is one of the major opportunities for feminist, gender studies scholars, activists, artists and policy makers from all over Europe and across disciplinary boundaries to gather and exchange experiences. This year it attracted the highest number of participants since its inception making it the largest feminist conference thus far, with keynote speakers from Canada, Switzerland,India and Poland.

The conference addressed fundamental issues of gender and diversity studies: social inequality, difference and equal opportunities. The subtitle "confronting" included the appeal to reflect social exclusion and discrimination and to find affirmative ways of dealing with diversity in respect of European and global dimensions.

Roselyn Masamha, Lecturer in Learning Disabilities Nursing has contributed two chapters to Decolonization and Feminisms in Global Teaching and Learning released by Routledge last week as the latest Teaching with Gender book series, coordinated by the feminist network ATGENDER  (The European Association of Gender Research, Education and Documentation):
