Gathering Feminist Voices in the time of Covid-19
At a time when gathering together is not possible, especially across geographic distance, Hypatia created this gathering of feminist voices in the time of Covid-19 in June 2020. Speaking from many different geographic locations, the scholars who are featured in this video are all board members or editors of Hypatia: A Journal of Feminist Philosophy. They reflect on the situation in their own communities and countries. They share their experiences and thoughts about lockdown, uprisings against systemic racial injustice, and the lopsided economic impact and lethality of the pandemic. Describing the unequal distribution of vulnerability and suffering in the time of Covid-19 and the inadequacy of government responses, these feminists offer their reflections on the multi-dimensional crisis and where it is taking us. Imagining “the world after,” they reflect on activism, structural injustice, and where we go from here. We are publishing this video in conjunction with a special, curated collection of Hypatia articles written by many of the scholars featured here.
