Description:

This virtual paper session (3 of 5) brings together feminist scholars in a lively space to think together about gender and the urban from a variety of empirical contexts, conceptual framings, and geographies. Informed by women’s everyday urban experiences and shaped by feminist methods and praxis, the papers in these 5 sessions will explore: approaches to urban policy; feminicidio and genderscapes of hate; resistances and refusals; qualitative methods that capture women’s everyday life including oral history, fictional ethnography, participatory observation, diaries, photography, mental mapping, and virtual methods; social reproduction solidarities, emotional communities, and mutual aid practices; spatialities and subjectivities of debt; climate coloniality; and finance as it is shaped by colonial relations and racial capitalism.

This session is organized by the GenUrb project (Urbanization, Gender and the Global South: a Transformative Knowledge Network), a group of feminist activists and scholars working on gender and the urban at global, national, and local scales. GenUrb has been conducting research in a range of small, mid-sized, and mega cities, namely Cochabamba, Delhi, Georgetown (Guyana), Ibadan, Ramallah, and Shanghai. Together, our work seeks to produce new knowledge about urban placemaking that addresses the needs, hopes, and desires of women living in neighborhoods marked by underdevelopment and economic insecurity.
