Crip perspectives in the field of Gender Studies<\/p>\n

This English-language panel discussion will explore the necessity, significance, and potential of crip perspectives in the field of Gender Studies. Hanna V\u00e4\u00e4t\u00e4inen, Touko Vaahtera, and Isa Hukka, who have conducted research at the intersections of crip theory and Gender Studies, will discuss the topic under the guidance of Taru Lepp\u00e4nen. The panel will consider the meanings and dimensions of the term ”crip” in relation to different linguistic and cultural contexts. In addition, we will consider the methodological possibilities of disability studies from the perspective of our own research. Finally, we will discuss the factors that support or hinder the emergence of crip perspectives in academic knowledge production and more broadly in society.<\/p>\n
