Gender and Populist Nationalism in Asia
Event description:
Popular nationalism is of growing importance across the globe, including Asia. This interdisciplinary roundtable brings together distinguished scholars of India, China, Japan and Korea to consider the central role of gender in the popular nationalist movements of these countries. How have different religious and cultural traditions shaped tensions between feminism and nationalism? How do such tensions play out differently under different political contexts and social conditions? From Hindu Nationalism in India to the Comfort Women controversy in Japan and Korea to the Me Too Movement in China, panelists will probe the complex connections between popular nationalism and conceptions of gender.
