Abstract
Plenary Session on "Transnational Feminist Solidarities". Transnational feminist sociology, which recognizes both intersectional and relational inequalities is one of the most vital and exciting areas in the discipline. Transnational feminist research draws from a long history of decolonial and intersectional theorizing, as well as feminist activist work, to create understandings grounded in the real world that are cognizant of the effects of capitalism, colonialism, racism, sexism, transphobia, homophobia, ableism, and other forms of marginalization. Transnational feminist activism analyzes both structural inequalities, and the potential of agency in reworking both local and global structures. In this panel, scholars engaging in transnational feminist work will discuss both the challenges and the joys of working to build solidarities across borders.
