The Gender+ Justice Initiative presents its sixth Research Colloquium!
The Georgetown University Gender+ Justice Initiative is thrilled to announce the return of its signature event, the Annual Research Colloquium, now in its sixth edition! This fall, on October 4, 2024 we invite faculty, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students from across Georgetown and from neighboring universities to share their work and discuss opportunities for interdisciplinary conversations on intersectional issues of gender, racial, health, environmental and economic justice and beyond.
This year, we are pleased to introduce thematic areas to foster in-depth conversations on timely and pressing issues. Under the theme of ‘Equitable Futures’, the topic areas for the 2024 G+JI colloquium panels are:
Equitable Futures
- Health Equity: Reproductive Justice, Anti-Racism, and Public Policy
- Intersectional Approaches to Environmental and Social Justice
Date: October 4, 2024
Time: 12:00 PM – 6:30 PM – Reception after 5:30 PM
Location: Riggs Library, Georgetown University Main Campus
More information on the 2 thematic panels:
Health Equity: Reproductive Justice, Anti-Racism, and Public Policy
Papers in this topic area should explore the intersectional dynamics of health equity, focusing on reproductive justice, anti-racism, and public policy. We welcome explorations of how race, gender, and socio-economic status shape healthcare access and outcomes, advocating for innovative solutions and policy. We are interested in discussions aimed at envisioning inclusive healthcare systems prioritizing marginalized communities and dismantling systemic barriers to health equity.
Intersectional Approaches to Environmental and Social Justice
This panel will delve into the intersections of gender, race, and climate justice, exploring how marginalized communities are disproportionately affected by environmental degradation and climate change, addressing topics such as environmental racism and gendered impacts. We are interested in work that promotes inclusive and equitable approaches to environmental conservation and climate action, centering the voices and needs of marginalized groups.
