Feminism & Controversial Humour Symposium: Comedy Show & Public Talks
March 9 and 10, 2017
Montreal


DESCRIPTION
Since April 2016 Concordia's working group on Feminism and Controversial
Humour has been meeting to talk about humour that addresses race, sexual
assault, abortion, and disability—operating under the premise that
feminists may be particularly well positioned to understand not only the
costs but also the benefits of joking about structural inequities,
including their most violent and traumatic manifestations. Our upcoming
symposium extends and opens up this conversation.
Sponsored by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Studies in Society and
Culture, the Simone de Beauvoir Institute, the English Department, Writers
Read, Irish Studies, and the Office of the Vice President of Research and
Graduate Studies, the symposium is free and open to the public.

Space is limited.

Upcoming Talk - Dolores Chew: Gendered Racializing in Quebec and Canada

Please forward widely and come join the conversation!
Join us for a talk and discussion in a series on Racism and
Islamophobia, called "Gendered Racializing in Quebec and Canada" led
by Dolores Chew

Tuesday, February 21, 2017
15h00-16h30
Room Wilson 110, 3506 University Street, McGill University
"Gendered racializing in Quebec and Canada"

Fear, insecurity, xenophobia and othering have a long history in
Quebec and Canada, fanned by politicians and media. Gendering of
racializing framed within rights and equality discourse is an integral
part of this. In this presentation, Dolores Chew will draw on the
experiences of Montreal's South Asian Women's Community Centre who
challenge and resist this racism.

Dolores Chew is a founding member of Montreal's South Asian Women's
Community Centre (SAWCC). She is also a history and humanities
instructor at Marianopolis College and Research Associate at the
Simone de Beauvoir Institute of Concordia University.
