“Feminist Security Studies in the Americas: Pushing the Fronteras,” edited by Priscyll Anctil convenes voices from across the Americas, creating space for decolonial, anti-racist, and class-based perspectives within feminist security discussions. This led to the formation of the Feminicides and Feminist Security Studies reading group. The reading group’s critical discussions evolved into essays by activists, government workers, and academics featured in the second book, “Feminist Security Studies from Latin America and the Caribbean”, edited by Alessandra Jungs de Almeida. Together, these books represent a collective transnational feminist effort to address security issues from perspectives often marginalized in traditional security studies. Please join us in this panel, where the authors and editors, Priscyll Anctil, Alessandra Jungs de Almeida, and J.C.D. Calderónm, will discuss the two volumes and explore the main theoretical, epistemological, and methodological contributions, including how they contest andro-anglo-centered knowledge production and expand the concept of feminist security.Food will be providedPlease RSVP in advance~
