3 – 4 November 2022
Venue: UJ Auckland Park, Kingsway Campus and Virtually
Coventry University in collaboration with the University of Johannesburg’s (UJ) Department of Sociology calls for researchers, postgraduate students, Post-Doctoral Fellows, and specialists in the fields of Decoloniality, Gender, Equity and Diversity to submit papers for a 1.5- day international conference. The conference will take place in-person (at UJ) and virtually and will be funded by the Leverhulme Trust.
The conference welcomes papers that examine, reflect on, and critically engage with the meaning of decoloniality in developing contexts, with an emphasis on the situatedness and situated knowledge pertaining to marginalised groups in higher education, including workspaces and industry. This further relates to the ideals of social justice in the global South and its relevance in transforming women’s lives and that of all ‘others’, including the eradication of inequities.
Contributions can speak to any of the themes (as listed below) that address theoretical or empirical gendered questions, and that highlight problematics around race, class, sexuality, ethnicity, age, locality, and other issues.

Gender and Decoloniality
Gender and Critical Theory
Gender, Violence and Social Justice
