Join us for an afternoon exploring Chellis House, the home of the Gender, Sexuality, and Feminist Studies Department and the Feminist Resource Center. Meet faculty, staff, and students involved in Chellis and learn about upcoming events, programming, and opportunities. Snacks and refreshments will be available, as well as some cool merch. If you’re interested in building feminist community on campus, this is a great way to get involved!

Prof. Amandine Catala, University of Quebec in Montreal 

Recent accounts of epistemic agency and injustice have shown that both notions are greatly enriched and more accurately construed when they are taken to include not only propositional knowledge (knowing-that) but also experiential knowledge, including practical knowledge (knowing-how) and tacit, embodied, and affective knowledge (knowing what-it’s-like). What can such a pluralist account tell us about epistemic repair? 

Professor Patricia Saldarriaga and Emy Manini discuss their new book, Monsters vs. Patriarchy: Toxic Imagination in Global Horror Cinema. The authors contend that monstrous female cinematic subjects, including ghosts, witches, cannibals, and posthuman beings, are becoming empowered, using the tools of their monstrification to smash the colonial, white supremacist, and misogynist structures that created them.
