Greetings,

On behalf of the Events and Communications team at the Department of Gender Studies at London School of Economics and Political Science, we have events coming up this fall that might be of interest:

Ӧzlem Onaran (Professor of Economics at the University of Greenwich) and Susan Himmelweit (Emeritus Professor of Economics at the Open University) discuss their research in gender and economics and its relevance to policy. One presents a macroeconomic model considering the role of labour market and fiscal policies for growth and employment that is gender equitable, the other draws on the theoretical and empirical evidence used to develop policy proposals and engage with policy-makers. The event is chaired by Ania Plomien (Assistant Professor in the Department of Gender Studies, LSE).
This talk by Hannah Hamad (Senior Lecturer Media and Communication, Cardiff University) explores the wave of interventionist activism that emerged in the UK in the 1970s, continuing into the 1980s, in response to the inflammatory set of circumstances produced by misogynist cultures of film production, distribution and marketing, and the toxic culture of violence against women that was epitomized during this period by the wave of murders of women that were attributed to the so-called 'Yorkshire Ripper' prior to the apprehension of perpetrator Peter Sutcliffe. The event is chaired by Sadie Wearing (Associate Professor in Gender Theory, Culture and Media, LSE)

Politics of the Archive
5 December, 6:00pm,LSE
Matt Cook (Professor of modern history at Birkbeck, University of London) and Lisa Palmer (Programme Director for Black Studies Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Birmingham City University) present 2 papers; one explores queer social scenes in England in the 1960s, and the other explores Caribbean young people's engagement with Black radical thought and activism during the 1970s. The event is chaired by Sadie Wearing (Associate Professor in Gender Theory, Culture and Media, LSE).
12 December, 6:00pm, LSE
Join Sherene H. Razack (Distinguished Professor and the Penny Kanner Endowed Chair in Gender Studies, UCLA) in the discussion The Racial/Spatial Politics of Banning the Muslim Woman's Niqab. Bans, whether travel bans or bans on the wearing of the niqab in public space, mark Muslims as neither inside nor outside the law. They usher Muslims into a spatial void. Occupying a space where law has declared its own absence, the banned Niqabi is denied the right to public space even as she is formally a citizen. What do bans provide to those who are compelled to engage in it? The event is chaired by Marsha Henry (Associate Professor and Interim Director of the Centre for Women, Peace and Security, LSE).
