Invited Session

This past-president’s special session for RC32: Women, Gender, and Society, and RC05: Racism, Nationalism, Indigeneity, and Ethnicity pays honor to the memory of Ann Denis (1945-2019), who was an active member and served as Vice-President of RC32 from 1998 to 2006 and as President of RC05 from 2010-2014. Her research and publications focused on power relations within and between societies, particularly on the intersections of gender, ethnicity/race, and class with work, and on intersectionality within feminisms. In line with the RC32 sub-theme: “Global Inequalities in the 21st Century: Gender, Sexualities, Intimacies, and Intersectionality,” the session focuses on how global challenges that societies face today are fundamentally tied to inequalities of gender, race, class, intimate citizenship, and disability.
