SUMMARY:Professor Robin Dembroff will be visiting the Institute in April 2023.  
DESCRIPTION:The St Andrews Institute for Gender Studies is delighted to announce that Professor Robin Dembroff will be visiting the Institute in April 2023.   \nRobin Dembroff is an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Yale University. They work on feminist and LGBTQ philosophy\, with a focus on what gender is and how it shapes social outcomes\, experiences\, and ways of knowing. Dembroff’s current book project\, Real Men on Top: How Patriarchy Weaponizes Gender\, is under contract with Oxford University Press\, with a planned release in 2024. Their work has been published in professional journals spanning three disciplines\, and appears in popular venues including Scientific American\, The Boston Review\, TIME\, The Guardian\, and The New York Review of Books. In 2019\, Dembroff co-authored an amicus brief in support of gay and transgender employees\, which was submitted to the United States Supreme Court on behalf of over seventy philosophy professors. They have given over a dozen keynotes and named lectures\, and will be a panelist for the 2023 Tanner Lecture on Human Values at the University of Michigan. In 2022\, Britannica named Dembroff one of twenty “shapers of the future” under 40 in academia and ideas. \nThese are the activities with Professor Dembroff \nThe Inaugural St Andrews Institute for Gender Studies Lecture   \nApril 18\, 4pm-6pm\, St Salvator’s Quad School II  \n‘Real Men on Top’  \nAbstract: Most people think that patriarchy is a matter of men versus women. Patriarchy is widely understood as a system that works to privilege men while subordinating women. In this talk\, Dembroff offers an alternative paradigm. Through this paradigm\, patriarchy is not taken to privilege men in general. Instead\, patriarchy is seen as reproducing the wealth and influence of men who conform to society’s most highly valued stereotypes of manhood. Patriarchy puts these “Real Men” on top.  \nArché Feminist Philosophy and Social Theory Seminar   \nApril 19\, 3pm-5pm\, Edgecliffe G03  \n‘Reimagining Transgender’  \nAbstract: ‘Transgender’ often is understood either as the name of an identity\, or else as a term covering the full spectrum of gender nonconformity. In “Reimagining Transgender”\, Dembroff advocates for recentering our understanding of ‘transgender’ on the experience of costly and willful gender deviance.  \n St Andrews Institute for Gender Studies Graduate Student Masterclass   \nApril 20\, 11am-2pm\, Old Burgh School Lumsden Room  \n‘The Metaphysics of Injustice’  \nAbstract: Patriarchy and white supremacy are unjust social systems\, constituted by social practices that produce systemic gender injustice and racial injustice. Intersectional theory highlights that these forms of injustice are inseparable\, but what does this mean? In this paper\, Dembroff suggests that intersectional injustice is best explained by the overlap of unjust systems\, or when unjust systems are co-constituted. They argue that\, despite this overlap\, unjust systems can be individuated in terms of their essential ideologies.   \nThis masterclass is registration only. Places are still available\, so to register please email the organiser: Dr Jade Fletcher jef1@st-andrews.ac.uk. Lunch will be provided.

SUMMARY:6th March: Laura Mulvey\, 'Flappers on film: the young modern woman in 1920s cinema'
DESCRIPTION:The Department of Film Studies and the St Andrews Institute for Gender Studies are delighted to welcome you to a guest lecture with Professor Laura Mulvey. \nIn this presentation Professor Laura Mulvey will revisit her long-standing interest in the flapper film. The energetic and self-sufficient young modern woman who emerged into city life and onto the screen in the 1920s first caught her attention as a possible antidote to the woman as spectacle\, discussed in her 1975 essay ‘Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema’. The flapper’s image was\, by and large\, emblematic of an aspiration to economic and emotional freedom\, carried onto the screen\, by the mobility of the cinema itself in the late silent period. However\, this seemingly innocent image\, quickly picked up by Hollywood\, obscured certain social and ideological contradictions: in the US the concept of the young modern woman was not only de-politicised and highly commodified but she also embodied whiteness at home and facilitated the diffusion of ‘American-ness’ abroad. But\, at the same time\, urbanisation and modernity\, in various key cities across the world\, generated indigenous versions of the young modern woman\, in which she came to embody\, once again\, a social and iconographic emblem of both liberation and contradiction. With clips from contemporary films\, Professor Mulvey will raise how some of these issues materialised on late 1920s and early 30s screens. \n\n\n\n\nLaura Mulvey (born 1941 in Oxford) is Professor of Film and Media Studies at Birkbeck College\, University of London. She was Director of Birkbeck Institute for the Moving Image (BIMI) from 2012 to 2015. She is the author of Visual and Other Pleasures (1989); Citizen Kane (1992); Fetishism and Curiosity (1996); Death 24x a Second: Stillness and the Moving Image (2006); and Afterimages: On Cinema\, Women and Changing Times (2019). She has co-edited British Experimental Television (2007); Feminisms (2015); and Other Cinemas: Politics\, Culture and British Experimental Film in the 1970s (2017). Mulvey made six films in collaboration with Peter Wollen\, including Riddles of the Sphinx (1977)\, and two films with artist and filmmaker Mark Lewis. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/laura-mulvey-flappers-on-film-the-young-modern-woman-in-1920s-cinema-tickets-545998023787

SUMMARY:STAIGS Seminar Nov 4: Dr Zoë Shacklock\, The Category Is: Streaming Queer Television
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to welcome you back to this year’s StAIGS (St Andrews Institute for Gender Studies) Seminar Series\, in which staff across the university will be sharing and discussing their work on gender-related topic. This semester we have two seminars\, which will both be in-person in School V. If you are interested in presenting next semester\, please let us know! \n \nFriday November 4th\, 2:30-4 pm: Dr Zoë Shacklock\, Department of Film Studies\n \nIn our first seminar\, Dr Zoë Shacklock will be discussing her work on streaming services and queer television. Please see below for the abstract\, and we hope to see you there! \n \nThe Category Is: Streaming Queer Television\nStreaming television is often seen as a progressive space for queer representation\, due to the wealth of queer people and stories found across its programmes. Yet for queer people to be seen on streaming television\, they must first be made visible at the level of the interface\, which determines which programmes are presented to users and in what ways. Through the organisation of the interface\, streaming television acts as a discursive formation that constructs knowledge about what it means to be queer. Borrowing from both Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Lynne Joyrich\, I argue that streaming television constructs an epistemology of the category\, in which queerness is presented as categorisable and predictable. I explore how the two key features of streaming television’s interfaces – categories and algorithms – construct an understanding of queerness as normatively visible and inseparable from consumer choice. Yet while streaming giants construct a neoliberal understanding of normatively visible and consumable queerness\, queer-specific streaming services such as Revry offer a different\, “messier” understanding of queer lives\, suggesting that streaming television holds the potential of a more radical interface with queerness.

Join this fiery and furious company of extremists for a tale of time travel\, survival and human evolution in a bold and irreverent re-imagining of H. G. Wells science fiction classic. \n\nThe performance will be followed by a post-show discussion featuring the play’s director Caitlin Skinner\, members of the cast and St Andrews University feminist scholar Ana Guiterrez Garza and Zoe Shacklock from Film studies and Deputy director of STAIGs.

Moderated by Dr. Ana Gutierrez Garza.\n19:30- 20:00 Wine reception\nCome and join us!! \nProfessor Zoe Playdon\n\nZoë Playdon is the Emeritus Professor of Medical Humanities at the University of London. Educated at the universities of Newcastle on Tyne\, Leicester\, Warwick\, and at Henley Management College\, she holds five degrees\, including two doctorates. Trained as a historian and an archaeologist\, Zoë chose her third subject – English literature – as the starting point for her career as a classroom teacher at an inner-city comprehensive school. Subsequently\, she became a senior civil servant at the Department of Education and Science\, before moving to the University of Warwick as Chief Executive of its business consortium and head of Continuing Vocational Education. \n\n\nIn 1993\, Zoë transferred to the University of London\, as Professor of Postgraduate Medical Education and Head of Education at NHS Kent\, Surrey and Sussex Regional Postgraduate Medical Deanery. She is a former co-Chair of the Gay and Lesbian Association of Doctors and Dentists [GLADD] and\, with Dr Lynne Jones MP\, co-founded the Parliamentary Forum on Gender Identity in 1994\, which continues to meet. \n\n\nZoë has thirty years’ experience of front-line work in LGBTI human rights\, including legal cases\, where she has worked with Baroness Helena Kennedy QC\, Dame Laura Cox\, Ben Emmerson QC\, Stephanie Harrison QC\, and Lord David Pannick QC. \n\n\nZoë has written extensively in academic and legal circles. The Hidden Case of Ewan Forbes is be her debut mass-market book. \nDr. Katherine Jenkins in her own words\nI am a philosopher at the University of Glasgow\, specializing in social philosophy. I joined the department as a Lecturer in July 2020. Before that\, I was an Assistant Professor at the University of Nottingham and a Junior Research Fellow at Jesus College\, Cambridge.I hold a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Sheffield\, and a BA and MPhil in Philosophy from the University of Cambridge. \nMy research is primarily in social philosophy\, especially the ontology of social categories. I’m interested in how social categories such as races and genders exist\, and how these categories are bound up with systematic injustices. I’m also interested in feminist philosophy and critical philosophy of race more broadly\, in the philosophy of sex and sexuality\, and in social epistemology. Topics I have written about include rape myths\, pornography\, and gender identity. \nI am currently writing a monograph\, Ontology and Oppression: Race\, Gender\, and Social Construction which examines the nature of social categories that are bound up with oppression\, such as gender and race\, and the ways in which emancipatory social movements can best respond to such categories in view of the important role they play in many people’s identities. In it\, I argue that the very fact of being socially constructed as a member of a certain social group\, such as the group women\, can be wrongful\, and\, indeed\, oppressive. However\, I also show that identities based on these social group memberships can still be valuable.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar: Sarah Gharib Seif (School of IR) "Beyond the ‘Jihadi Bride’"
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, the ‘phenomenon’ of women traveling to join the Islamic State seemed to have taken over the news\, with regular mentions of disbelief of why they would decide to leave their ‘ideal’ Western lives to join a ‘barbaric’ terrorist group. Various attempts to engage with the roles these women have played (and media coverage of it) has focused on a shallow interpretation of agency (and its perceived presence or not)\, and depictions thereof. Moreover\, much of the existing literature on women involved in terrorism not only focuses on the personal\, but it treats the women themselves as the challenge for the existing parameters and policies set by the state\, whilst simultaneously avoiding how these policies are inherently gendered. This project seeks to move beyond this binary to interrogate how dominant state actors have been complicit in the creation of specific narratives around the women who joined IS. This project seeks to investigate how both media and government actors in the Anglosphere\, with a particular focus on the UK\, continue to create and perpetuate racialised and gendered narratives about these women in a manner which continues to sustain the dominant cultural order. Through postcolonial\, decolonial\, feminist\, and critical race theoretical positionings\, this project seeks to assess the role of the media and the government in othering these women through discourse and practice\, based on long-standing colonial\, racialised\, and gendered perceptions of ‘us’ vs. ‘Other’.

If queerness is interested in disruption\, destabilisation\, and mutability\, streaming interfaces\, conversely\, rely on predictability and categorisation. I explore how the two key features of streaming television’s interfaces – categories and algorithms – construct an understanding of queerness as normatively visible and inseparable from consumer choice. To borrow from Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Lynne Joyrich\, I argue that streaming media constructs an epistemology of the category\, in which queer life must be predictably categorised in order to be visible.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar: Elise Watson "Gender\, Invisibility and the Circulation of Print in the Dutch Republic"
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will examine annotation\, inscription and literary exchange among Catholic lay sisters in the early modern Dutch Republic. In a country where the public practice of Catholicism was illegal\, these women created community through writing on and sharing devotional books and single-sheet prints. Using surviving examples of these sources in context\, I will examine how the invisibility afforded by their gender and marginalised religious status actually enhanced these women’s access to illicit print in a society that marginalised them.

SUMMARY:Research Seminar: Paul Fleig “Feminism and Media Archaeology”
DESCRIPTION:This brief presentation will explore a few recent and recurring examples of gendered technology through the lens of media archaeology. Over the last two decades\, media archaeology has emerged as an interdisciplinary field of research exploring different historical intersections of media old and new\, digital and analogue\, futuristic and anachronistic. Against many media archaeologists’ attempts to separate technological hardware from sexuality or gender\, I will discuss recent and ongoing research on how and why different media have been gendered female\, with particular attention to the examples of telephonic/synthetic voices and audio-visual archives.

SUMMARY:Kira Muratova workshop + screening
DESCRIPTION:Please plan joining us for a workshop + screening to celebrate the work of remarkable Soviet/Ukrainian feminist director Kira Muratova (1934-2018). \n\nKira Muratova\, who worked mostly in the Ukrainian city of Odessa\, is one of the most innovative\, imaginative\, exciting and versatile directors to emerge out of the Soviet Union\, where her early films were censored and her later work – celebrated. Whilst she is well known within the territory of Russia and Ukraine\, her work – an oeuvre that comprises more than fifteen feature films made over six decades — remains little seen and not widely recognized as part of the shaping feminist cannon of film history. With the workshop Kira Muratova@St Andrews\, co organized by the IGCCC and CRSCEES\, we aim to compensate for this. \nWe will screen her film KOROTKIE VSTRECHI/BRIEF ENCOUNTERS (1967)\, followed by discussion. This is Muratova’s first solo-directed feature film\, made at Odessa studios\, starring Nina Ruslanova\, Vladimir Visotsky\, and Kira Muratova herself\, B&W\, 87 min. \nIn addition\, we will welcome contributions from Dr. Victoria Donovan and Prof. Dina Iordanova (St Andrews)\, Irina Schulzki (convener of the Kira Muratova Research group/LMU Munich)\, Dr Masha Shpolberg (Yale/Wellesley)\, critic/independent scholar Giuliano Vivaldi. We also hope that Muratova’s husband\, artist Evgeny Golubenko\, who designed the magnificent ornate sets for most of her later films\, will join us for discussion via SKYPE\, TBC.
