A Feminist Development Policy: Beyond Representation (5/5)
A Pathway Towards Feminist Global Collaboration
What is the goal of representation and how can it be most meaningful within a process of Feminist Global Collaboration? In this final episode of the series, our host, Samie Blasingame, and three incredible guests discuss what representation is and what it is not, what it looks like to achieve representation in different spaces, and the dominant structures that start to shift when representation is done well.
Tune in to hear thoughts and examples as to why representation can’t just be about how things look; it must move beyond that by allowing new perspectives to help shift the collective worldview and bring positive changes for the whole of society.
A podcast with:
• Pema Wangmo Lama, Mugum Indigenous youth activist, feminist, and climate activist
• Jovan Džoli Ulićević, activist and founder of the feminist organisation Spektra
• Roula Seghaier, Strategic Program Coordinator for the International Domestic Workers Federation
• Samie Blasingame, Host and environmental justice activist, researcher and facilitator
This series was initiated by an emerging network of practitioners aiming to re-think
development policy from a feminist perspective; FAIR SHARE of Women Leaders, a feminist non-profit initiative to advance gender equity in the in civil society sector; and the Heinrich Böll Foundation.
Audio production by Grettch.
