Studies (GCWS) is pleased to sponsor Feminisms Unbound, an event series
featuring debates that focus on feminist concerns, theories, and practices in
this contemporary moment. The series is intended to foster conversations and
community among Boston-area feminist intellectuals and activists. The series,
in its open configuration, endeavors to allow the greatest measure of
engagement across multiple disciplinary trajectories, and a full array of
feminist investments. The event organizers, GCWS affiliated faculty Kimberly
Juanita Brown, Visiting Scholar in Gender Studies, Pembroke Center, Brown
University, Lisa Lowe, Professor of English and American Studies, Tufts
University, and Jyoti Puri, Professor of Sociology, Simmons College, have
programmed four topic-based discussions in this series.</span></p>

wanting to do good in the world, make an impact, and create social or
material change. There are research methods and methodologies developed
specifically for action that can help us contribute to those changes. Dr. Max
Liboiron, Director of Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research
(CLEAR), will lead a talk and discussion about how research can foster change
not only after data has been collected and analyzed or after prototypes are
complete, but during the entire research and development process.</span></p>

Professor in Sociology, Geography, and Environmental Sciences at Memorial
University of Newfoundland. Liboiron's research focuses on how harmful yet
invisible threats such as disasters, toxicants, and marine plastics become
visible in science and activism, and how these methods of representation
relate to action. Liboiron is director of Civic Laboratory for Environmental
Action Research (CLEAR), which creates open source, feminist, and citizen
science technologies for monitoring plastic pollution, and is the managing
editor of Discard Studies, a public online forum for audiences interested in
research on waste and pollution. </span></p>
