Feminist Methodologies Retreat – Bolsena

For a week in August 2019, part of the WEGO team gathered with other academics and activists of diverse places, ages and experiences at the S. Maria del Giglio convent by Bolsena lake, Italy, and hosted by WEGO partner Punti di Vista (PdV) for a feminist methodologies writing retreat. By living and learning together in and around the convent, participants were able to go beyond thinking about feminist methodologies at a theoretical level and were able to experiment with practicing feminist political ecology and doing academia otherwise. A book is being planned that aims to collect on learning and reflections from this retreat.
