Call for Papers - Resisting the Backlash: Defending Intersectional,
Decolonial, and Postcolonial Feminisms

Event Dates: 01-02 October 2025 at TU Dresden, Germany

We invite submissions for an International Conference that will explore the
growing backlash against gender, queer, intersectional, decolonial, and
postcolonial studies. This event aims to critically examine the forces
undermining these fields and to discuss strategies for countering these
challenges in academic, activist, policy, journalistic, and public spheres.
We are particularly interested in reflecting on ongoing resistance to
anti-gender movements and engaging with strategies for reimagining democracy
through the lenses of intersectional, decolonial, and postcolonial 
feminisms.

We welcome papers that address, but are not limited to, the following 
topics:

The nature and scope of the backlash against gender, queer, intersectional,
decolonial, and postcolonial scholarshipThe impact of this backlash on
academic institutions, teaching, and public discourseIntersectional 
responses
to these challenges from marginalized communities and scholarsConcrete
strategies for resistance and solidarity in the face of institutional and
political pressuresThe role of extractivism in the gender backlash
scenarioDigital and non-digital forms of backlashThe role of international
solidarity networks in reimagining democracy through gender lenses
Please submit an abstract (maximum 300 words) by 31 March 2025 to
