Presentation Description:
In this talk, Matthew Wilson shows how womanist thinkers set the grounds of debate for decolonial feminism. In place-based scenes we will see the ways in which women contested the anti-feminist ‘empire of opinion’ known as positivism. Wilson prompts us to situate the topographies of women’s resistance at the center of cultural heritage discourse and the scholarship of teaching and learning.

Speaker: 
Dr. Matthew Wilson, Associate Professor of Architecture
