Social Justice Studies and the Department of Geography present:
Anarchism, Women, and Public Space
a talk by Kathy Ferguson
David Turpin Building B215
3:00 p.m.
Kathy Ferguson is a Professor in the College of Social Sciences at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa. She holds joint appointments in the Departments of Political Science and Women's Studies and is currently Director of the Women's Studies Program.
Her research interests center on contemporary political theory, feminist theory, and militarism. She recently published a book entitled Emma Goldman: Political Thinking in the Streets (Rowman and Littlefield, 2011). She writes that her "work on Goldman reflects a longstanding fascination with her anarchist and feminist ideas and actions at the turn of the last century." Her next book, Anarchist Women in the First Wave, will investigate many other "women's neglected contributions to radical politics". For a preview of... these women, with brief biographies and photos, see "Emma Goldman's Women" on her website at http://www.politicalscience.hawaii.edu/emmagoldman/index.html. She has also co-edited with Monique Mironesco Gender and Globalization in Asia and the Pacific (Honolulu: University of Hawai‘i Press, 2008), written Oh, Say, Can You See? The Semiotics of the Military in Hawai`i, with Phyllis Turnbull (Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, 1999) and Kibbutz Journal: Reflections on Gender, Race and Militarism in Israel (Pasadena, CA: Trilogy Books, 1995).
