Southern Theory (Connell 2012) was Connell’s call to engage the theoretical labor of scholars and activists not located in the global North or elite institutions in the Global South. Later, she made a similar call (Connell 2014, 2015) to democratize the global structure of feminist theory by disrupting the hegemony of Northern theory and the political economy of knowledge production. She emphasized the importance of creating spaces for sustainable processes of mutual learning, interactive and inclusive intellectual thinking on new and ongoing theoretical agendas. This session invites feminist scholarship on the gendered resistances that are possible within particular geopolitical spaces, the way these are enacted locally and transnationally, and within a postcolonial world order.
