On April 4, 2024 WGGP hosted keynote lecture by Dr. Amina Mama (University of California, Davis) on “Transnational Feminist Praxis in an Age of Genocide” as a part of Transnational Feminist Resistance(s) Against Contemporary Violence(s) Conference on April 4-5^th, 2024. This lecture argues that the many violences perpetrated against women have been the major driver of feminist organizing in the South, and that this continues to be the case in relation to the transnational outrage over the carnage of the Israeli military campaign. Old and new anti-colonial feminist solidarities are being mobilized at multiple levels to join the global resistance demanding an end to the US-backed genocide.

The keynote lecture was co-sponsored by:

• College of Liberal Arts & Sciences;

• School of Social Work;

• Humanities Research Institute;

• Illinois Global Institute;

• Illinois International Programs;

• Center for African Studies;

• Center for Global Studies;

• Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies;

• Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies; and Women's Resources Center.
