Workshop: Revisiting Governing from Feminist and Queer Perspectives

This workshop by the AHRC Research Center for Law, Gender and Sexuality at the University of Kent will explore the contribution feminist and queer theory can make to how we think about the character and practice of regulation and governance. It will focus in particular on governmentality, changing forms of governance, political and democratic values, and the relationship between affectivity and state power within post-industrial liberal states.<br> <br> The day will include plenary talks by Marianna Valverde, Judith Squires, Janet Newman and Jon Binnie, alongside three consecutive sessions. Each session will be introduced by short presentations, highlighting key themes and issues, leaving plenty of time for discussion.<br> <br>
