Join us for an engaging online book launch and discussion presented by the UCLA Center for Performance Studies and the UCLA Center for the Study of Women | Barbra Streisand Center.
We will explore the groundbreaking work Space Feminisms: People, Planets, Power, and joined by book editors Marie-Pier Boucher, Assistant Professor of Media Studies at the University of Toronto, and Nahum Romero, Director of the KOSMICA Institute. The event will be moderated by Felipe Cervera, Assistant Professor of Theater and Performance Studies at UCLA.
This compelling volume employs a global approach to feminist theory, examining how scientific, popular, scholarly, and artistic imaginations of space have, since the 1950s, reflected and embedded Earthly hopes, anxieties, and visions for the future. Space Feminisms moves beyond traditional futurist narratives to cultivate radical and alternative modes of inquiry, viewing space as a material reality that mirrors humanity’s self-perceptions both on Earth and beyond.
