New research project begun: Towards an Understanding of Global Feminist Enlightenments
This fall, Sabrina Ebbersmeyer (Copenhagen University) and Dr Priyanka Jha (Banaras Hindu University) started the HUM:GLOBAL research project Towards an Understanding of Global Feminist Enlightenments.
The project aims at developing a more inclusive and comprehensive notion of enlightenment in the plural that acknowledges the thought, values and perspectives of women from across the globe. By connecting researchers from Europe, Asia, South America, and Africa, the project aims at developing a concept of Global Feminist Enlightenments.
This week, the project was kicked off with a workshop held by Priyanka Jha with the title: “Reflections on Women’s Enlightenment in India: The role of Self-Worth and Self-Esteem.” In the coming year, the project will consist of workshops, seminars, and networking activities both online and in-person.
