The Africa Multiple Cluster Gender and Diversity Office Presents the ICDL Book Launch of
African Women in Digital Spaces: Redefining Social Movements on the Continent and in the Diaspora. (2022)
The book launch and round table discussion will provide thought impulses towards continuing the conversations around decolonizing African Media Studies, begun at the Cluster’s Medialities Conference in July 2022. At the same time, this conversation charts intersections and overlaps between geophysical, geopolitical and digital spatialities, ICDL concepts, citizenship and belonging between the continent and the diasporas. Among relevant foci are digital literacy and power relations, potentials of decolonisation of knowledge and knowledge production practices in digital spaces, and more conscious critical engagements with African women’s scholarship in digital humanities.

Layers of space help us to understand the multiple axes of privilege and power involved in boundary making. This lecture will offer an outline of space invaders, with a view to complicating analysis of intersectionality and marginalities. Diversity as presence and optics continues to generate hard line borders and barriers. Naïve and pure notions of racialized or gendered bodies, don’t enable us to appreciate the complex web of outsiders on the inside. Moving through different conceptions of space and place, this presentation will delve into the processes of both space invaders and space invading. A wide range of examples will be shared, from the worlds of politics, museums and artistic interventions.

Nature-Society Relations and the Global Environmental Crisis –
Thinking on Climate Change and Sustainability from the Fields of Intersectional Theory and Transdisciplinary Gender Studies
From Thursday, 4th May to Saturday, 6th May 2023
at the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Senate Hall)
Human-made climate change has been a subject for science and politics for decades – and is now slowly becoming one for the law. Society’s relations to the natural world have changed so much since the start of industrialization that global survival and life on Earth are being called into question. As early as the 1970s, the report for the Club of Rome highlighted the “limits of growth” for humankind. Almost from the outset of such research, the organization of the capitalist economy was identified as driving the ecological crisis. Sociological analyses identified the process of societal modernization as being fundamental to the collapse of our environment. Feminist positions understand the gendered hierarchies underlying the relationship between humans and the more-than-human world as being both the basic cause and the concrete expression of the global environmental crisis. These hierarchies extend to climate policy and law. At the same time, feminist perspectives offer visions of how this relationship can be rethought.
