 /viewform\n\nThe Justice and Society Research Centre at the Institute of C
 riminology\, Cambridge\, is delighted to invite you to a hybrid research s
 eminar to mark International Women’s Day 2024. The seminar will invite r
 eflections from leading experts in the field of violence against women (VA
 W) including Zeynep Kaya (Sheffield)\, Adrija Dey (Westminster) and Mirand
 a Horvath (Suffolk). The event will take place in the basement of the Inst
 itute of Criminology (CB3 9DA) from 3pm to 5pm on 8 March 2024. Coffee wil
 l be available from 2:45pm and the seminar will be followed by a drinks re
 ception till 5:45pm.\n\n \n\nWith its roots in socialist feminist activism
 \, International Women’s Day (IWD) was first celebrated over a century a
 go to demand liberation for women in cultural\, political and material ter
 ms. In its ethos and orientation\, IWD is aimed at working towards the ema
 ncipation of the global majority of women\, whose gender-based subordinati
 on is shaped by intersecting structures of inequality such as race\, class
  and nationality. This understanding of gender as being inextricably enmes
 hed in other inequalities has not permeated the field of feminist criminol
 ogy.\n\nA multidimensional approach to gender inequality presents both cha
 llenges and opportunities for feminist criminology. For example\, while cu
 ltural theories of VAW would trace such violence to patriarchal attitudes\
 , materialist feminist theories would zoom out to analyse whether broader 
 economic and political structures shape victimisation\, offending and inst
 itutional responses in this area. Similarly\, deploying intersectionality 
 as a framework for analysis would emphasise the heterogeneity of women’s
  experiences in navigating\, or choosing not to navigate\, through institu
 tional processes in the aftermath of violence. The recognition of these mu
 ltiple marginalisations is therefore crucial to a full appreciation of how
  violence is used to perpetuate women’s subordination\, even though this
  recognition simultaneously risks fragmentation within the broader feminis
 t community. Engaging with intersecting inequalities also requires us to r
 eckon with how\, in the global academy\, some theories\, policies and appr
 oaches (from high income countries) come to be characterised as ‘leading
 ’ or ‘universal’ while others have their significance shrunk to fit 
 only specific (low income) contexts and locales. Adopting a feminist praxi
 s therefore requires constant reflection not just on what topics are inclu
 ded within VAW research\, and who conducts research\, but also what knowle
 dge comes to be regarded as essential rather than optional.\n\nAgainst thi
 s background\, we are delighted to invite you to a conversation among the 
 invited experts\, which will draw upon case studies from a range of contex
 ts\, including India\, Iraq\, England and Wales\, and will focus attention
  on the experiences of multiply marginalised women. The event will be cond
 ucted in the form of an interview with the speakers\, followed by interact
 ion with members of the audience. \n\nPlease register for online or in per
 son attendance if you are interested in joining us. To view information ab

 ng to some. We encourage you to seek appropriate support if needed. For ex
 ample\, the NHS provides a list of resources that might be useful in relat
 ion to domestic abuse or sexual violence.\n\nWe hope to welcome many of yo
 u at the event.\n\n
