ABSTRACT/RÉSUMÉ:
In this talk, Dr. Gada Mahrouse will share insights into the relationship
between emotions and programs designed to raise awareness on social
injustice. Drawing from feminist scholarship and from several areas of her
research, she will trace the emotional "journeys" produced through
examples of specific awareness-raising campaigns programs/campaigns used
by humanitarian, anti-violence, and/or anti-racist organizations based in
the Global North in recent years. Specifically, her presentation will
raise and respond to the following questions: 1) how are emotions
produced/ mobilized in particular programs/campaigns and to what end? 2)
What emotions are expressed about specific geopolitical contexts and not
others? 3) How
are certain feelings structured around race, gender, class, and sexuality?
These examples, she will argue, illustrate how emotions provide powerful
clues to the ways in which we take ourselves to be implicated in the lives
of others.

BIO:
Gada Mahrouse is an Associate Professor at the Simone de Beauvoir
Institute,
Concordia University (Montreal) where she teaches and researches in the
areas of critical race studies, cultural studies, social justice
pedagogies and transnational feminist and postcolonial theories. Motivated
by a longstanding interest in social justice, Dr. Mahrouse's research
seeks to identify and challenge social inequalities. She has a forthcoming
book with McGill-Queen's University Press entitled Conflicted Commitments:
Race, privilege and power in solidarity activism".
