Isa Blumi, Associate Professor, Stockholm University Institute for Turkish Studies (SUITS)

 

Since March 2015, an international coalition of forces—including Britain and the US—have waged a military campaign in Yemen that has resulted in a humanitarian disaster involving millions. This lecture will suggest a need to provide an in-depth accounting for how this war, and the almost non-stop violence visiting the county since the end of Cold War, actually has transnational origins. As such, this lecture will offer unique insights into how globalization, development, the war on terror, and “disaster capitalism” more generally directly shapes the horizons of disparate political and economic actors intersecting in Arabia. This analysis should thus help scholars and students of international relations, development, globalization, imperialism and political economy gain an understanding of how resource and culturally rich countries like Yemen end up either being warzones or, at best, the target of exploitation aiming to turn Southern Arabia into nothing more than the Tijuana of the larger Middle East.

Gender Troublemakers is a feminist collective, which aims to offer an alternative, safe and respectful space to share knowledge, learn and reflect on the wide spectrum of gender-related topics and issues. Our purpose is to create an open and welcoming platform, where people from any kind of background can join and choose among different levels of participation, from simply attending our events to actively engaging in the collective’s organization.

 

Initially, this project started within an autonomous group of master students from Lund University’s Social Studies of Gender Program and consisted in spontaneous post-lectures meetings, with the idea to continue deepening our lectures’ conversations and discussions outside the academic schedule and through a gender perspective.

 

Gender Trouble Makers will hold weekly meetings and a variegate range of events and activities, such as:

Film Screening Sessions: The purpose of film screening sessions is to provide an open and safe space for discussion around different kind of movies with a gender perspective, encouraging controversia and constructive conversations between the audience. Film screening sessions aim ultimately to be a feminist learning opportunity for anyone interested
