War crimes from Gaza to Lebanon and Sudan. The global resurgence of anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-feminist legislation. The tightening grip of border regimes, financial austerity, and corporate expansion. Across the world, we are witnessing not isolated crises but a synchronised choreography of violence, one in which militarised destruction, economic control, and moral repression move together, reinforcing each other in deliberate and strategic ways.
But why does violence against queer and feminist movements intensify alongside war and economic collapse? Why do sexual and gender panics flare up at the same moment states and corporations deepen repression and extraction? And how does the language of protection, morality, and security become a cover for systems of domination?
Bringing together scholars and activists, the Queer International Student Assembly (QISA), in collaboration with the Gender Centre and the Feminist Collective, is pleased to invite you to this seminar which serves as a soft launch for a larger forum in the fall, where we will continue these urgent discussions.
Speakers
- Hossein Cheaito, PhD Researcher in Sociology and Anthropology, QISA co-president, Geneva Graduate Institute
- Aadarsh Gangwar, PhD Researcher in Sociology and Anthropology, Geneva Graduate Institute
- Paola Salwan Daher, Women Deliver
The discussion will be moderated by Aditya Bharadwaj, Geneva Graduate Institute.
