Mainstream representations of #MeToo frame it as a global feminist campaign that originated in the US and focused on high-profile American actors and executives. But the debates about gender-based violence that #MeToo catalyzed were felt worldwide. Despite the global uptick of the movement, there are very few feminist accounts of the transnational politics of #MeToo.This anthology frames #MeToo as a movement with uneven itineraries, goals, and outcomes. The essays in this volume take a transnational and comparative feminist approach to #MeToo, focusing on the multiple ways that feminist voices from Argentina, Egypt, India, Pakistan, South Korea, the US, and the UK have pushed the boundaries of what counts as politics, justice, solidarity, violence, precarity, and vulnerability. In doing so, this volume shows how an engagement with #MeToo allows us to extend and sharpen the empirical, theoretical, and methodological parameters of transnational feminist thought. A blend of global activist and academic work, #MeToo and the Politics of Transnational Feminism offers a necessary transnational framing of the #MeToo movement.Chaitanya Lakkimsetti is Associate Professor of Sociology at Texas A&M University and the author of Legalizing Sex: Sexual Minorities, AIDS, and Citizenship in India.Vanita Reddy is Associate Professor of English at University of Texas A&M University and the author of Fashioning Diaspora: Beauty, Feminity, and South Asian American Culture.Copies of the book will be sold at the event.

We were the first and are still one of the few centers in the U.S. with a named emphasis on both gender and sexuality. CSGS has been a hub for feminist and queer studies scholars, artists, and activists in the New York City region and beyond for over 25 years. CSGS facilitates a broad interdisciplinary investigation of gender and sexuality as keys to understanding human experience through seminars, panel discussions, film screenings, exhibits and conferences throughout the academic year.These events are all open to the public and provide a vital and lively meeting-place where scholars, students, artists, and activists can discuss issues involving gender and sexuality, and their intersections with other social phenomena such as race, religion, nation, class, ability/disability, and ethnicity." } ] } ] ```
