In this lecture, we jointly explore key questions like: In this moment of global politics, before and beyond what does feminist politics offer to us differently? Can we reify it into one singular lens of ‘feminism’ ? Or if it is feminism(s) in the plural – how do we build network’s of solidarity and resistance? Further, how do we think about politics of space, and location as we think through building networks of alternative epistemic value(s)- and in the process how do we navigate disciplinary diktats , liminal spaces, and politics of both margins, and marginality?
