Gender Equality Days 2025
Nordic gender equality actors gather to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, and to discuss the intersections of safety and gender. The Gender Equality Days is intended for everyone working with or interested in gender equality issues, including policymakers, public officials, researchers, students and specialists in labour market organisations, CSOs, the private sector and projects. The objectives of the event are to: bring together actors promoting gender equality, share information, exchange experiences, discuss the goals of promoting gender equality, develop coordination and working methods in gender equality efforts and enhance participants’ own expertise.
Karen River Barad in dialogue with Rebecca Schneider on Barad's forthcoming book "Energetics of the Otherwise: A Laboratory of the Possible."
Karen River Barad's new book, Energetics of the Otherwise: A Laboratory of the Possible, is forthcoming with Yale University Press. The book presents a unique understanding of the inseparability of the theological, political, and scientific aspects of worlding, while offering alternative ways of (re)configuring Kabbalah, materialism, and quantum physics in their intra-relationality. It puts forward a critical methodology that attends to entangled histories of the oppressed and the urgently required messianic work of ever ongoing reparation.
Rebecca Schneider, a performance theorist, has been in conversation with Barad for some time. Their conversations on gesture, worlding, inseparability, interinanimation, emergency, and Black feminist thought -- have informed some of the book's errant currents. Introducing the book, this public conversation will flow and pool in and around some possible thoughts Barad and Schneider have shared in the interstices of their (un)disciplines.
