Postcolonial Feminisms and the Ethic of Care: South-to-South Dialogues is the inaugural symposium by the Asian and Latin American Women's Studies working group. We are convening for the second year to further develop the project. This project will bring together leading scholars in Asian and Latin American studies to create new understanding and knowledge in the areas of gender, race, and class. The purpose of this project is to deepen the understanding of the postcolonial human conditions, and produce new knowledges in the overdetermined process of subjectivities by exploring intersections of gender, sexuality, race, and class at various localities in Latin America and Asia.
