HALL: Erika Weinzierl Hall

Proponent: Jacobs C., Thomaier S.

Speaker: Bacon D., Barter J., Bell C., Jacobs C., Larner L., Thomaier S., Walker J., Williams C.

In the contemporary landscape of socio-economic transformation, the interplay of race, class, gender, and other intersections present complex challenges and opportunities for creating meaningful and lasting change. This panel seeks to explore the multifaceted nature of intersectional solidarity by delving into the critical role that feminist and Black liberation theology, class analysis or queer theory play in understanding diverse forms of oppression and the diversity of exploitation that shape our collective experiences. We are bringing together scholars, activists, and practitioners from various backgrounds, in order to foster a rich dialogue on how race, class, gender and beyond intersect with the way we organise life and work in society. Furthermore, the panel examines specifically the role of religion, religious communities and institutions in promoting or hindering intersectional solidarity.
The panel continues a series from previous EuARe annual conference panels on labour, economic justice and queering liberation. It is open to anyone who wishes to share their research on intersectional solidarity in transformative changemaking. It aims to contribute to a global critical discourse on intersectionality and solidarity, providing a platform to exchange insights and strategies for creating more equitable societies.
