SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:EIHS Workshop: Gender Unruliness\, Power\, and Order
DESCRIPTION:How does gender shape power\, knowledge\, and lived experience across imperial and post-imperial worlds? This graduate workshop explores gender not just as a social category but as a critical lens for analyzing colonial power\, resistance\, and postcolonial critique. Inspired in part by Howard Chiang’s concept of transtopia\, which highlights gender transgression across times and cultures\, this workshop challenges Western-centric frameworks and invites broader\, global perspectives on gender variance.\n\nThis workshop brings together scholars to examine how gender constructs and disrupts hierarchies of power\, intersects with race and imperialism\, and reshapes scientific\, cultural\, and political authority.\n\nJoin us for a conversation to reconsider the entanglements of gender\, power\, and order across historical geographies and contexts.\n\nThis event presented by the Eisenberg Institute for Historical Studies. It is made possible in part by a generous contribution from Kenneth and Frances Aftel Eisenberg.
