Feminist Interventions is a collaboration between the University of Galway,
University of Vienna, and TU Dublin to convene Engaged Symposia refreshing
scholarly engagement with emerging and established feminist theory at the
intersections of politics, protest, and performance.

The theme of this symposium is the digital response to and amplification of the
Shaheen Bagh protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act, National Population
Registry, and National Register of Citizens in India
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaheen_Bagh_protest). Women were at the
forefront of the protest, changing a blockaded road in Delhi into a protest
community with art, childcare, and internal governance. The protesters
effectively used social media and other digital interventions to communicate
their aims and push back against misinformation and attack. When the pandemic
closed the physical space, how did the digital space change?

A guest speaker, Apsara Bala (https://www.linkedin.com/in/apsara-bala-777b5b1ba/
?original_referer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eqwant%2Ecom%2F&originalSubdomain=in)  of
IIT Indore (Digital Humanities and Publishing Research Group), will
contextualise the protests through Digital Humanities and Public Space research
lenses.

Participation is free; we ask that attendees read several short articles before
we meet in order to make the best use of our time. (See registration website for
details.)

Please join us by registering at the website above! We look forward to
(digitally) seeing you there.

All the best,
Sarah
