Getting into our SEVENTH set of concurrent sessions at #PJSA2024!

I’m thrilled that our panel was a full house, and I had the opportunity to present on how combining academic & activist efforts can drive meaningful change in human rights, specifically in gendered social justice. My talk focused on key areas: - #Turkey’s state-led & state-sanctioned oppression - gendered racialization & institutionalized discrimination and violence - transnational #feminism against gendered #Islamophobia - creating counter-hegemonic spaces for #resistance The feedback I received after my presentation was incredibly empowering & productive, opening up exciting possibilities for impactful collaborative work & new perspectives on affect and embodiment. @PJSAtweets @WGSSSBU @NiagaraUniv
