Abstract
Panel: No cripness – no peace: Rethinking feminist knowledge
regimes with Cripistemologies. Mikael Mery Karlsson, Lund University, Christine Bylund, Ume. University, Julia Bahner, University of Leeds, Elisabet
Apelmo, Malm. University
Feminists are constantly rethinking knowledge regimes within as well as outside the academy. We have not entered the university only to gain accessto an already existing institution for production of knowledges, but to transform what knowledge production is. Although gender scholars have made significant contributions to knowledge produced around processes of power and marginalisation in Swedish universities, one research field remains seldomly addressed: the ableist bodymind. Ableism is embedded and continually reproduced within academic spaces in general, and in feminist and/or gender studies spaces in particular. What does this mean for the accountability of knowledge production?
In 2014, Merri Lisa Johnsson coined the concept Cripistemologies aiming to question ”what we think we know about disability, and how we know around and through it”. With this session, we aim to bring this questioning into Gender studies. Presenting from four different research projects within the field of dis/ability studies, we aim to discuss what cripping feminist knowledge production might mean for Gender Studies in Sweden.
