Ihklas Osman (Omdurman/ Sudan): "Feminist Activism during the Sudanese Revolution and Current Developments"

Online lecture January, 27 2021, 16.15 pm

Feminist and women's groups and networks made up the vast majority of activists during the Sudanese revolution in 2018/19 that led to the fall of the former regime. They were present protesting in the streets and on social media. Tea and food sellers, as well as women artists, doctors and lawyers supported the insurgents and participated in mass sit-ins and political negotiations.

Prof. Ikhlas Osman, professor at the Ahfad University for Women in Omdurman/ Sudan, gives us a first-hand account of the role of female*/feminist activists and the enormous power of solidarity, but also of sometimes harsh consequences and backlashes.

Registration

The lecture series "Inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives on gender studies" at the University of Oldenburg will shed light on the question of "value-appreciation" in the winter semester. Who or what is valued in which cultural context? Can this be measured? Which values are subject to gender, sexuality and cultural identity?

Feminist author and women's studies researcher Dr C.S. Lakshmi and activist and musician Sumathi Murthy from India will kick off the event. The title of their English-language lecture on Wednesday, 2 November at 4 p.m. is "Feminist Writing and Queer Music - Arts and Politics in India". The series of lectures is organised by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Women's and Gender Studies (ZFG). Interested parties are cordially invited to attend the public lectures on the Haarentor campus (Building A01, Uhlhornsweg 84, Room 0-004). The other dates at a glance:

The series of lectures takes up current discussions on prevailing "crisis" phenomena and examines them from an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary gender studies perspective.
